The Broken Bow - Port Alberni, British Columbia

Had an eggs Benny dish. The potatoes were deep friend and covered with salt. The eggs were cooked nicely, the bacon again, salty (to be expected) so I'd asked for an option of 1 Benny with bacon, 1 with the avocado/tomato. It was explained to me that they don't like to make any changes.

The 3 options are all included in the price, and the avocado/tomato was likely cheaper than bacon. I'm not sure of the logic here, but when nobody came by to ask how it was, nor offer any other help, again I was disappointed. Did the hollandaise save the dish, sadly no.

The atmosphere is nice, clean and nice artwork on the walls for purchase.

Would I return or recommend, sadly no.

Best eggs benny- seriously, we’ve tasted them all, fancy restaurants (The Wickinninish) included! The hollandaise is the perfect consistency and flavour, and the potatoes are deliciously seasoned. You gotta try this! Be prepared to wait as it’s super busy.

So good!! The food is so amazing, all fresh, homemade goodness in every bite. If you are looking for quality, healthy food choices you are going to be pleased here, everything is gluten free, so no worries for those of you who struggle. They have just increased their seating and have expanded!!!! The decor is really tasteful with a bit of coastal flare. There is beautiful art displayed on the walls, of local artists, for sale too. So beautiful!! What great addition to Port Alberni.

New favourite breakfast spot on the island 😍
The side potatoes are crispy in the best way. We had a couple of the breakfast buns and really enjoyed them. The buns were soft and spongy. if you are gluten and/or dairy free they've got you covered! And if you're like me and can eat everything you're not even going to notice the absence of gluten!

We also had a couple of sailor's Caesars which really hit the spot. 10/10

Fantastic food! Such creative combinations for breakfast/ brunch! I had waffle Benny which consisted of a large waffle, nice and crisp, not just warmed up… perfectly done poached eggs, 2 slices bacon, arugula and must’ve been homemade Hollandaise as it was delicious!! Asked for a little taste of their spruce tips cream cheese.. very different taste but liked it! Staff lovely, pleasant and accommodating. Decor somewhat plain but has local art on walls for sale.

Went for lunch in between races of our son’s track meet. Small place with a nice atmosphere. My son had the smoothie bowl, it looked beautiful and he said it tasted delicious. My wife had an oat bowl and she loved it, she even looked up how to make it herself. I had the huevos rancheros, which was de-fricken-licious. The service was good and the prices were reasonable. It looks like they might be expanding, which they should because more people need to try this food. Home-made goodness, yum.
