The Quarry is the go-to restaurant for my parents for years.
In fact, the owner even knows all of us by name and always has presents for the little ones in our family on holidays.
You can never go wrong with the soup, a burger or souvlaki there, and breakfast is always fantastic. The fruit cups and coleslaw are always homemade and fresh. -

I usually go to The Quarry in the evenings, however, lately I have tried it for weekend brunch. In their defense they are very busy, but the service is terrible. Our order was taken after others had arrived and then it still took an additional 10 minutes to get coffee and juice. Our waitress charged us $4.95 to add a slice of ham to a grilled cheese sandwich and in the end she messed up our bill
Last time I ordered the club house sandwich and it was fine, I had the breakfast potatoes instead of fries and found them to be inedible. My daughter's grilled cheese must have been made on the same surface because it had the same flavour. The only way to describe it was rancid.
This is too bad. The staff that work on weekdays are so nice and are reason enough to visit. Weekends, however, should be avoided.1 Previous Review: Show all »

We decided to go here for breakfast this morning after a recommendation from a family member. We got there early enough to grab a sunny window table and the place was slowly filling up after our arrival.
The service was outstanding! VERY attentive server, very pleasant, and humourous.
My SO and I both ordered the Quarry breakfast....2 eggs any way, bacon or sausage or peameal bacon, 2 slices of toast, homefries, coffee.
Kids had pancakes and eggs w'toast, homefries. I also ordered a fresh fruit cup and it was fresh....not the the kind of fruit that comes in buckets that some restaurants use...this was fresh cut strawberries, melon, grapes, and slices of fresh banana on top...DELISH!
The portion sizes were perfect and the food was tasty.
It's not huge in there so it can fill up quickly. I would try to get there before ten.
It's nice and bright, as they have a skylight in the middle of the ceiling.
They also have a patio for when it warms up.
This is going to be our new breakfast place... -

I visited this place for lunch a few months ago. I've lived close by for a while, but never bothered to visit... so my family decided to try it. It wasn't great or anything. I'll start with what I didn't like about this place:
The server was nice, but she leaned over the table a lot, which put me off. My salad was warm, which means it was sitting out of the fridge for a while or under a heat lamp, which either of these things shouldn't have been done. Also at the end of the meal, we ordered desserts, and they didn't come at the same time. Which was annoying because it some people had to wait while the other ate their food. It just put everything off.
Most of the people my table had the club sandwich, which was good. I had a greek salad, my grandma and sister had a garden salad and fries and gravy. My grandfather had the pork souvlaki dinner with rice, and no one had any complaints about their food, so I guess they liked it.
Overall, to me, it wasn't great. -

Still very good, and I wanted to add that a couple of my friends, who are connoisseurs of corned beef hash thought it was excellent, including the perfectly poached eggs to put on top.

What a great little spot .... I'm from Philly and I've always found Toronto to be a little bland when it comes to breakfast scene. But, a few weekends ago I tried this little spot hidden away on Gerrard near Warden. Banana crepe was out this world ....It came with a bowl of fruit and plain yogurt ...the fruit (berries and such) was fresh and high quality and could have been dish in i self. The Eggs Florinitne were also ridiculously good....very fresh tasting spinach and seasoned just right. The Blue Cheese Burger was soooo good .... again quality ingredients ...high grade ground beef and delicious strong blue cheese.. . Fries were also yummy.. It was a Sunday- The place seem modestly packed with people coming from church....but I definitely think this place hasn't really been discovered - I want to recommend it especially because the rest of the restaurant scene in that area (and even the entire beaches to the south) is kinda crappy.
