1. Sage Cafe & Catering
Toronto, ON M5T 1W4
Canada
(416) 340-7345
Category:
Caterers
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
I finally came back so I could try the vanilla french toast I had previously dissed for their marvellous eggs benny. I walked through the door and lo and behold a new brunch menu was waiting for me. (yay) But the vanilla french toast was no longer on…More »

How have I never been here before? Ravenous on a Sunday morning, I collapsed at Sage's front door in… Read more »
2. Lady Marmalade
Toronto, ON M4M 1J3
Canada
(647) 351-7645
Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,
Italian
Neighbourhood: Leslieville
I haven't written a review of Lady Marmalade? Let me change that immediately. This Leslieville brunch spot is best known for their legend-and-you-WILL-wait-for-i t-dary queues for weekend brunch. I declare the long wait worth it. And if you have the…More »
3. Future Bakery & Cafe
Toronto, ON M5S 1Y2
Canada
(416) 922-5875
Categories:
Bakeries,
Coffee & Tea,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: The Annex
Great all-around café. Warm, student-friendly atmosphere invites you to stay a while. East-facing patio is great a great place for a beer (or two or three) in the summer. Cakes are top notch also; they sell out quickly so grab your favourite slice…More »
4. Karine's
Toronto, ON M5T 3K5
Canada
(416) 591-0863
Categories:
Vegan,
Breakfast & Brunch,
Vegetarian
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
I enjoyed a decidedly non-vegan breakfast here late one afternoon. The owner, Maggie, called me "baby" no less than six times as we reviewed the specifications of my bacon, eggs and toast. I was charmed. It's too bad a place like this with such an…More »
5. Aunties & Uncles
Showed up on Sunday morning to clusters of folks lingering outside, looking hep. Turns out they were waiting for the privilege of eating at Aunties and Uncles. The wait is (really, really) long, and you feel as lucky as a liver donee when they call…More »
6. Easy Restaurant
Toronto, ON M6R 1A9
Canada
(416) 537-4893
Category:
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhoods: Parkdale, Roncesvalles
Visited Easy for the first time this morning with Kat F. Though it was pretty busy we got a table for two in no time. My white-omelette with chevre gets a solid thumbs up. They serve Illy cappucinos as well which is a plus. Apparently there is extra…More »
7. Graffiti's Bar & Grill
Toronto, ON M5T 1L8
Canada
(416) 506-6699
Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,
Dive Bars
Neighbourhood: Kensington Market
I don't think I've ever had brunch in a dive bar before, but I will again. Graffiti's is a hodge-podge of paint, bric-a-brac, grit and Kensingtonian squalor. You could make a drinking game tallying Elvis sightings in this place. I decided to hit up…More »
8. Swan Restaurant
Toronto, ON M6J 1G3
Canada
(416) 532-0452
Categories:
Diners,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhoods: Niagara, West Queen West, Trinity Bellwoods
Great service, excellent ambiance, hooks for coats (I love these), and a breakfast that just won't quit. Located at Trinity Bellwoods Park, it's a good place to stop for some fuel when hipping it up on Queen West. I've only been for brunch, but they…More »
9. Frankly Eatery
Toronto, ON M4M 1K9
Canada
(647) 350-1611
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Leslieville
Even though I am "of Indian descent" (I hate this phrasing), I've always had a hard time eating Indian food for breakfast. I'm more of a coffee and croissant kind of guy; very continental. If it helps, picture me eating holding a scone with two…More »
10. Mitzi's Café
Toronto, ON M6R 2E2
Canada
(416) 588-1234
Category:
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Roncesvalles
A place automatically enters my good books if it's open early on the weekends, as I like to the avoid ravenous hipster brunch crowd (RHBC) if at all possible. We strolled into Mitzi's early (09:30) Sunday morning and though the place was already…More »
11. Eggspectation
Toronto, ON M5B 2H1
Canada
(416) 977-3380
Categories:

Breakfast & Brunch,
Burgers
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
I try not to eat at places with eggy puns in their name. I don't know why, but I find these kind of puns most distasteful. After all, G is no substitute for an X. Egg-celence? Egg-citement? Really?
Having said all that I like Eggspectations. Despite…More »
12. Mildred's Temple Kitchen
Toronto, ON M6K 3S3

Canadian (New),
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Liberty Village
Helloooo Millie. What a gorgeous, airy and wondrous resto in Liberty Village. Named for a James M. Cain novel (or possibly the film), you can't visit here without noting the spectacular decor and furnishings. It was definitely a site for sore eyes…More »
13. Starving Artist
Toronto, ON M6H 3
Canada
(647) 342-5058
Category:
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Wallace Emerson
Just north of Bloor and Lansdowne, Starving Artist's got more waffles than an economists convention. I dare you to not ingest a waffle here. If you open your mouth, there is a 73% chance that a waffle will fall in. Seriously.
It's bigger than it seems…More »
14. River Rock Cafe
It's not often that I gamble my weekend brunch experience on a place that is unreviewed, but when my DC spotted banana bread french toast on the menu -- and started shaking me violently to go in -- we decided to give this Riverdale resto a try.
The…More »
15. Lola's Kitchen
Toronto, ON M4Y 2G3
Canada
(416) 966-3991
Category:
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
Circumstances made it difficult to dislike this brunch spot. I showed up on a GORGEOUS weekday afternoon, and found my dining companion Brock M already sitting on the patio. Lola's can be found in an old white-bricked Victorian on Church, but I…More »
16. Niche Coffee & Tea Company
Toronto, ON M6J 1E4
Canada
(416) 203-0458
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhoods: West Queen West, Trinity Bellwoods
Did you know about Niche's incredible back patio? It almost (almost) gets me to unhate wicker furniture, which is saying a lot. The terrace is interlocked brick and the furniture is a healthy mix of metal and weaved seating. There are lots of…More »

Toronto, ON M6J 1G9
Canada

Categories:

Bars
Neighbourhoods: Niagara, West Queen West, Trinity Bellwoods
When I came here for brunch on Sunday morning I was met with a line-up of like-minded diners also looking for grub at this new spot on Queen West. I'm not too keen on waiting for breakfast (you better believe I get cranky) but I left my cell phone…More »
