We attended Alora’s first brunch and it was fantastic! The service, food, vibe were all first rate. I had the croissant with ham - delicious. I did add a side of hollandaise, which was made in house and superb. My daughter had the avocado toast and it was also equally as good. We spoke to the owners who added a personal touch. All in all we will definitely be back!!

Sunday brunch at Alora is a must! I had the Brunch Burger Benny and my wife had the Smoked Salmon Rosti. It was DELISH!!! So good! Hearty portions with Instagram ready presentations. I wish I had got the Crème Brûlée French Toast that our friends enjoyed. It had that caramelized sugar finish on top and blew my mind.

Alora exceeded my expectations, I was attracted to the vibe through Instagram but the food and service were much better than I expected or even hoped for. Really nice attentive staff, the best fries I've had. My friends made somewhat specific drink orders that were really nicely accomodated. We had a great time! Amazing fries I loved the fries. I had the whipped feta which was super yummy and my friend had the fried chicken which was also really good. The atmosphere is really nice and people go there well dressed which is so nice to see. The bathroom is really clean, on the main level, has paper towel instead of hand dryers and really hot water sinks. All very important. Many canon girl bathroom experiences of compliments and positive chatter. Overall fantastic experience, thank you! I'll be going back!!!
