Where to go for breakfast in Victoria

I don't know if this is unique to Victoria but we sure seem to have a lot of popular hip breakfast places.
One that has come up quickly on the radar is the Fort St. Cafe. Formerly Glen's Sandwiches across from the passport office, this underground restaurant has a great untraditional Sunday brunch.
I also tried Lady Marmalade. They had a very decent eggs benedict and some funky menu choices.

In this establishment I can have a whole table to myself, dress as I please, listen to the CBC, read the paper and not have to share any of that with the rest of the world.
I take reservations, but there are no openings for a LONG time that I can see. ;-)

Another great breakfast spot - Plutos, it has a mildly Mexican flavour and the building is really nice, in a converted gas station. Good burgers too.

Yes and I have yet to find a Hollandaise in this city that can top mine. That is a challenge by the way. I'm open to suggestions.

Do I see a homemade hollandaise contest in the near future?
John's place for Sunday Brunch - I went there often in the late 80's, and upon our return to Vic a few years ago it was the 1st place we went out to as a family.
Do have to say the menu quality has declined, but the service (and popularity) still makes it special

Broad St. has a killer 'breakfast sandwich' and the weekend bennies are excellent, with a wide selection, perfect hollandaise, and a nice fresh fruit garnish instead of the usual pound of hashbrowns. Good prices, too. They are also home to the Best Burger Bun in town.
And the Salt Spring Island coffee is excellent.
