Mazarine Brunch is one of the best brunch restaurants in Ottawa for weekend brunch, especially if you want a strong option in Ottawa.

Editorial review updated•Jul 28, 2026

Mazarine Brunch is doing something Ottawa's weekend-morning scene has needed: it takes Middle Eastern pantry logic — labneh, shakshuka, shawarma spice — and builds a full brunch identity around it rather than treating those flavors as an afterthought to eggs and toast. This is not a café that happens to have one token regional dish on the menu. The entire vision is organized around that culinary lens, which means the room draws its Saturday lineup not on aesthetics alone but because the concept is coherent and committed. At price level one, it's the kind of place where students, young families, and genuinely curious eaters can all pull up without a financial negotiation at the end of the meal. The Garlic Shawarma Eggs Benedict is the dish that tells you everything — it takes a brunch classic Ottawa does perfectly adequately in a hundred other rooms and runs it through a shawarma marinade, reportedly bringing warm fat spice and garlic into conversation with hollandaise in a way that reframes the format entirely. The Avocado Labneh Toast is worth attention because labneh brings tang and structural density that avocado alone cannot deliver. The Shakshuka is described by diners as deeply red and properly reduced, the kind that signals real oven time rather than a quick pan job. The Crispy Cigars are consistently called out as the right way to open the table — built for sharing and calibrated to set the register for what follows. The Ashta Pancakes round out a menu that clearly respects dessert logic applied to breakfast. The practical advice circulating among regulars is to arrive on the earlier side of service to avoid a wait. The move is to anchor your order around the Garlic Shawarma Eggs Benedict and the Crispy Cigars, then build outward through the Middle Eastern column of the menu — that is specifically what Mazarine is there for. Bring a group, split freely, and leave room for pancakes.

Editorial review by Priya Sharma

Maria's Tacos is not a restaurant in any conventional sense — it's a window cut into the wall of Maverick's on Rideau Street, and that distinction is the whole point.
