Coramark Inc. (doing business as Cora) is a Canadian chain of casual restaurants serving breakfast and lunch. Until 2008, the chain was known as Chez Cora déjeuners... in Quebec, and now just Cora elsewhere in Canada. Franchises are located in all provinces.

Chez Cora began in 1987 when Cora Tsouflidou opened a snack bar in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is now a chain of more than 50 franchises in Quebec and 130 across Canada.{{Cite web |url=http://www.canada.com/calgaryherald/story.html?id=c55b11e9-6ef9-46e3-9505-46df43a29b86 |title=2002 article about franchising plans |access-date=2009-01-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110414231302/http://www.canada.com/calgaryherald/story.html?id=c55b11e9-6ef9-46e3-9505-46df43a29b86 |archive-date=2011-04-14 |url-status=dead }}{{cite news|url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/small-business/made-to-order/article4301307/|title=Made to order |last=Ghosh|first=Sabitri |date=Aug 26, 2009 |work=Report on Small Business magazine|publisher=The Globe and Mail|accessdate=29 January 2010}}{{cite web|url=http://www.chezcora.com/where-to-find-us|title=Where to find us|publisher=Cora official website|accessdate=Nov 10, 2010}}
