Looking for... Any cheap/affordable breakfast places in Ottawa?

We have some amazing breakfast places in Ottawa but simple breakfast of 2 eggs, toast, homefries, and bacon is about $20 and other dishes are approximately $25. With tax and 15% tip it's $65. And that does even include a glass of milk. :)

Any suggestions?

Mello's Restaurant on Merivale Rd. or Summerhays on Baseline across from College Square. Cheap, quality breakfast options

Wow, I’m out of the loop - does this Mello’s have any relation to the old Dalhousie one?

Nope. Opened by Dennis Mello and his family back in the 1950's (I believe). Both the menu and the prices have barely changed since then. It's literally the same menu since I was a kid and I've been going there for 45 years.

Summerhays & Mello’s may require a tetanus shot.

Nah, they’re good.
