A huge THANK YOU goes out to Yelp for introducing me to this brunch spot.  My quest for the best might just have finished right here (not that I'll really stop looking).  

A brunch double date was suggested, and I was put in charge of choosing the…More »

Swan is a restaurant that I've passed countless times on my way downtown via the Queen streetcar.  When I saw it on a list of top brunch places in the city, I knew I had to try it.  And last Saturday, my BCo (Brunch Companion) and I did just that.…More »

Dr Generosity was one of the first brunch places I tried in the city - it might have actually had the honour of being the first, but heck if I can remember.  There have been many since, but something about it leaves me with a soft spot for Dr. G.…More »

I've been here a couple of times, once for a 90s dance night and once for brunch.  The 90s dance night was awesome - any place that plays Backstreet Boys, Spice Girls, and Sir Mixalot is okay by me.  I like going out to dance but I'm not a fan of the…More »

Sadly, my regular BCo (Brunch Companion) has left Toronto, westbound back to her home city of Vancouver.  I'll miss you and our culinary adventures!!  In her memory (haha), I thought I'd review one of our first brunch stops, and her favourite.

I was excited to learn that a new brunch joint had opened in my neighbourhood, and even more excited to try it.  We arrived around noon and were seated right away - I always love that, due to my hatred of waiting in line.  We were taken to a table on…More »

Ah brunch, how I love thee.  I'm on a bit of a crusade to try as many brunch places in the city as possible.  I don't know why, but I've just always loved going out for breakfast, ever since I was a kid and we would go to Golden Griddle for their…More »

Chocolate, almonds, fruit, and maple syrup?  Yes please!!  

I hit up the Beaver for brunch this past weekend after reading many positive reviews.  It's a little difficult to see if you don't know what you're looking for, because the sign is just a…More »

I finally made it to Easy for brunch this past weekend.  I've lived 10 minutes away for over a year, and passed it countless times thinking "oh right, I should go there sometime".  And finally I did.  It's very vintage movie-fan inside, which makes…More »

Wow, here is a case of glad-I didn't-know-the-rating.  We had some time to kill before looking at an apartment in the area, and it was lunchtime so we stopped in at Pappa's Grill based on the fact that we could order brunch OR lunch.  

It's a very…More »
