OEB Breakfast Co.
Fill the Soul with Breakfast
Atmosphere
OEB still retains that unmistakable new restaurant smell, setting it apart from the bustling breakfast joints in town. Unlike its counterparts, it hasn’t yet been seasoned
with the chaos of hangover brunches or the warmth of family gatherings. With its open kitchen layout and market vibes, OEB offers a refreshing twist on the traditional breakfast scene in Victoria. Although its youthful staff and fresh presence may not quite embody the laid-back Victoria restaurant vibe just yet, they’re on the track to getting there.
Menu
Purposeful selections fill their menu, featuring plates that are drool-worthy with flavours simply impossible to replicate at home. OEB commits to using locally sourced ingredients whenever possible.
OEB’s menu has all the comforting classics but with some inventive twists. Take, for example, their Moroccan Waterfowl Benny, featuring smoked ras el hanout spiced duck breast, porcini mushroom-truffle ragù, and a burst of pomegranate. Or indulge in their breakfast poutines, such as the Get Shorty Rib, loaded with Saint Cyrille curds, Philly-style beef short-rib, topped with bell peppers, red onions, and wild & cultivated mushrooms, all drenched in brown butter hollandaise.
But the deliciousness doesn’t end there. They offer Blue Plate Specials, like the decadent Canadian Lobster & Shrimp Crepe, boasting butter-poached lobster & shrimp scramble, green onions, and brown butter hollandaise, with the option to add a lux touch of organic Sturgeon caviar. And for those seeking something beyond the ordinary, the Gnocchi breakfast carbonara, features gluten-free gnocchi, double-smoked bacon, brown butter hollandaise, grana padano, raw yolk, and a sprinkle of petite watercress.
OEB’s breakfast side is herb-fried potatoes, fried to perfection in beef tallow for an extra layer of yum! Even their lunch offerings, though smaller, pack a flavourful punch, each served with pommes gaufrettes—reminiscent of waffle fries—also fried in beef tallow.
Wash it all down with their large array of breakfast cocktails, from Brunch Punches to Mimosa Flights and Rose Sangrias. Not to mention their specialty coffees, wines, and beers, alongside a stellar selection of non-alcoholic beverages, including lattes, cold brews, juices, and smoothies. OEB ensures every sip and bite is a culinary adventure worth savouring.

Despite their fresh presence and youthful staff, OEB exudes an energy of eagerness and enthusiasm. As newcomers to the scene, their team is brimming with contagious excitement, eager to ensure every guest’s experience is nothing short of exceptional. From the moment you step through the door, you’ll be greeted by a cadre of friendly faces, all dedicated to making your visit as enjoyable as possible.
