THE Lancer. I remember when they finally got debit. Like a year ago. :)
I have been going to the lancer for 10 years and it has been open and run by the same people for probably 50 years. They have the BEST hashbrowns ever; period, the end. The…More »
2. Le Sélect Bistro
When I first moved to Toronto, I lived in soulless condos near Skydome. I used to wander aimlessly searching for breakfast foods on weekends, and I felt disdain towards the lengthy lineups at Coras on weekends (even in a blizzard, people will line…More »

Category:
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhoods: Parkdale, Roncesvalles
Toast. Soldiers.
Carmen, the greatest server ever to walk the face of my breakfast, was a major hilight of eating here after a disappointing attempt to brunch at Saving Grace. Kat and I were on one of our patented "I work at home" weekday brunch…More »

Sandwiches,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Wicker Park
Best brunch of my Chicago vacation. I found the ordering process a bit strange - you come in and they assign you to a table. Then you go up to the cash register and order and pay. You bring your drinks back to your table then a server brings your…More »

"I am really happy right now," I said aloud to Kat F as we ate Bus Terminal food this morning. When I was in high school, a bus terminal lunch was whatever you could get from the vending machines at the bus terminal in St. Catharines (usually…More »

- no brunch reservations (clearly posted everywhere) - no substitutions (footnoted often) - no children (overtly implied) -
The good:
- Standard "All-Day Breakfast" was made with top quality ingredients. The bacon was thick and crispy - either they…More »

Bluegrass Brunch on Sundays. This was a blast - usually I wouldn't go anywhere that had a set menu but this was great and super fun. It's $14 per adult and comes with coffee, OJ, scrambled eggs, fruit, sausage, hashbrowns and pancakes. They bring…More »

Barrio has no lines. This boggles my tiny mind since it's right next door to Lady Marmalade aka captain lineup for food place. Since there was a line as always, Zack S and I hit Barrio right next door for brunch this weekend.
The best:
- The hash…More »

Quigley's has good brunch and a great waitress. Great vibes all around. The food was good, the Bloody Mary was good and I would love to come back in the summer and spend some quality time on their patio.
The best:
- the waitress. She was super…More »

I truly believe that I tasted the best Pancakes of my life in Cooksville Ontario. I had the Lumberjack special which is (for like, $8!): three eggs, toast, hashbrowns, 2 bacon, 2 sausage and 2 pancakes. I feel like coffee might have been extra but…More »

I have only eaten here for breakfast.
But I have enjoyed breakfast here many times. The best best BEST thing about breakfast here - there is never a line, even on weekends. I LOVE breakfast but I will not stand in line for it (Bonjour Brioche's…More »
12. Mitzi's Café

Category:

Neighbourhood: Roncesvalles
Martin Luther King Day. What better way to celebrate working for America than to brunch at a place that would be too busy for me to go to on the weekend. How I love our staggered holidays.
The best:
The artwork. There was amazing artwork here and I…More »

Neighbourhood: Leslieville
The best:
Quote of the day from the waitress here: "The hot sausages aren't like, burn your face hot, but they've got a little kick!"
The good:
- I love how their laminated menus feel. It's like a matte lamination that is 'soft' if that makes sense…More »
14. Brassaii
Oh, Brassaii... A dining locale full of people who think they're cooler than me (they aren't). I have only been here for brunch, twice, and it's a nice place. A little TOO nice, if you ask me.
The good:
- their brunch is good!
- the portions are big
-…More »
15. The Pastry House
The Pastry House is in the same breakfast category as the Leslieville Diner. It's inexpensive and just what you would expect. Only... it's not what you would expect.
After entering you have to order at the cash register (minus one star to me) - but…More »
16. Table 17
Toronto, ON M4M 1H4

Categories:
French,
Modern European
Neighbourhood: Riverdale
The summary of 3 stars for Table 17 is that it's too expensive for it's location and quality. It's still pretty good, I just don't like seeing a cheque for $60 for brunch.
The good:
- The food is good and the ingredients are top quality
- Sundays and…More »

Neighbourhood: The Danforth
Ahh, Brunch. My favorite meal of the day. Melanie's was not somewhere I would brunch again.
The good:
- the eggs were perfectly soft poached. Until I started ordering poached eggs as part of my 'regular breakfast' I didn't know how difficult it is to…More »
18. Collegiate Lunch
I eat at a lot of cheap diners. This one is exceptionally reasonably priced. For a bacon and eggs breakfast and a french toast breakfast with coffees it was under 15$ including tax and tip. But it just isn't as good as other cheap diners. I…More »

My sister moved to Kingston this week to start at teacher's college at Queens. She was coming to pick me up from Niagara, and she called me from Oakville to say... well, she called to say she was in Oakville. I decided that I probably had 40…More »
20. The Tulip
Steak house and all day breakfast. There is even a breakfast option that comes with a steak. I would probably never eat steak here.
The good:
- There was no line, but it was busy, and busy with locals (good sign)
- Everything was dirt cheap for…More »

Toronto, ON M4M 1K8
(416) 461-2988
Categories:
Diners,

Neighbourhood: Leslieville
I wanted to like this place but I didn't. It started with our server who was insincere but who 'didn't do anything wrong.' It's true, she did everything she was supposed to, just in an unfriendly, insincere way.
The good:
- It's close to my house…More »

The first time I ate here was before the brunch rush, and the second time was this afternoon on the tail end of a brunch rush.
The food was okay and you can refer to the "The Good" from my prior review. It mostly still stands.
Today's "The Bad" - all…More »

Santa Clause Sunday Brunch Fail.
Scene: an overcast afternoon, limited food options in this neighbourhood, two twenty-something girls decide to stand in a short line for brunch to satisfy their curiosity about LePetit Dejeuner. In front of them, a…More »
Recently updated lists from sarah l.
Coffee in Leslieville/Riverside (14)I love coffee. I am picky about coffee. |
Places Where I had a Great Time (14)This is a list of places where I had a GREAT time. The food might not have been the best, the music might not have been the best, but something about my visit was awesome and I left saying 'this place is great.' Maybe it was the company, but I left feeling like everything was worth it. |
Places where I have met people from Russia (2)Here's hoping this list grows quickly! I meet Russians in the weirdest places. |
Music Stuff (4)Places I've bought guitars, guitar pedals, guitar amps, guitar strings, speakers, junk... basically where I waste all my money outside of bars. |
List of great dumps (7)Inspired by Kat's list of dumps that are happy to have us visit even if I smell like last night's booze and have to wear a hat... I present to you... my own... (drumroll)...LIST OF DUMPS! |
Chicken Wings... for better or for worse (15)I want a certain style of wing... I will accept no less than crispy, unbreaded, saucy, non ketchupy wings with veggies and bleu cheese. Some dill dips are also acceptable. |
Rotisserie Chicken (4)I didn't know you could get chickens at so many places! |
Places where I have "a guy" (3)You know those people who have "a guy" for everything? He's the go-to guy, who knows everything about whatever and cuts you a cash deal? Well... my guys usually don't cut me a cash deal, but I won't buy from anyone else at these stores. |
Turn Down Your Baby (8)Inspired by a PM from a new user criticizing my dislike of children in restaurants, I have compiled this list of places that I have met children. (P.S. Please stop asking me to babysit) |
My Favorite of My Reviews (haha) (14)These are my favorite reviews...that I have written. |
