Our take

Estevan is where The Village started. Jason Chan bought it in 2012, put breakfast at the centre and grew it into a small chain, but kept the deli side: blintzes, Montreal smoked meat, latkes. Regulars are VILLAGERs. Staff are The Village People.

Local tipThe room is small. Book ahead, or get there by 9:30 on a weekend.

In our restaurant guide

Brunch before a walk to Willows. Try the Big Al benny with Montreal smoked meat on latkes ($25), or keep it simple with Village Latkes, sour cream and applesauce ($19). Read why, and what to order
