Chez Francois Restaurant And Patio

Visited this restaurant for breakfast this morning as a group of four, and overall it was a pleasant experience. Our table ordered a variety of breakfast items, including Eggs Benedict, pancakes, omelette with toast, a breakfast bagel sandwich, crispy breakfast potatoes, fresh fruit, and coffee. The presentation of the food was clean and inviting, and portions were generous. The Eggs Benedict was well-prepared, with nicely poached eggs and a smooth hollandaise. The pancakes were fluffy and filling, paired well with butter and fruit on the side. The omelette was cooked evenly and served with toast, breakfast potatoes, and fresh fruit, making it a satisfying and balanced plate. The breakfast bagel sandwich was hearty and flavorful, especially enjoyable with the smoked salmon. The breakfast potatoes were consistently crispy and paired well with all dishes. Coffee was hot, smooth, and refilled promptly, which added to the overall comfort of the meal. Service was attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere was relaxed—ideal for a casual breakfast with family or friends. The restaurant was moderately busy, but service remained efficient. Overall, a solid breakfast spot with good food, generous portions, and a comfortable setting. We would consider returning again for a relaxed morning meal.

Nice space that feels intimate and has great views. Service was excellent. In house hollandaise was delicious although the benny could have used more smoked meat. Pancakes and breakfast poutine were also excellent. Can see why it's been around for decades.

We had the avocado toast and through Quebec Combo. The Avocado toast was very good while the Quebec Combo seemed like an odd combination. The eggs were good placed atop one very thin slice of ham (so thing you couldn't stick you fork in it), one sausage link, 2 slices of bacon, with toast(we had sourdough which was slightly overloaded and quite hard). The beans were good you could taste the ingredients but a touch more seasoning would have gone a long way. The pate was ok, on the bland side but not a negative by any means. Service was great had a nice guy helping us.

Service and food both wonderful! I love that they have a crepe/eggs bendict combo! I had the apple, brie and ham crepes with one ham, asparagus and Swiss cheese eggs Benedict. So delicious! It came with crispy fried, thinly sliced potatoes and a variety of fresh fruit. My husband also enjoyed his strawberry/Nutella crepes and his traditional Benedict. Trés bien! Food came fast and service was good and friendly. Beautiful mountain views from our table by the window.

The service was excellent! Our server Louise was incredibly attentive and kind, making us feel very welcome. The views of the mountains are absolutely spectacular, the perfect backdrop to enjoy a meal. On top of that, the food was not only delicious but also very reasonably priced. Highly recommended!

Great long time restaurant in Canmore. Owner is friendly. Service is quick. Food is very tasty. Ordered the traditional egg benedict. It came with thin cut fried potatoes and a selection of sliced fruit. Everything was deliscious. Ordered a chai latte. Loved it. Highly recommend this restaurant.

We stopped by here for breakfast today and really enjoyed it! I had the Quebec Combo, my wife went with the Montreal Smoked Meat Poutine, and our cousin had the Duck Confit Poutine. They both loved their meals, and while my breakfast looked simple at first, the flavors definitely surprised me—in the best way. Everything tasted so good! The atmosphere was nice and comfortable too, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely a spot I’d recommend, and I’d happily come back again.
