1. Cool Hand of a Girl
Toronto, ON M6P 1Y5
Canada
(416) 832-1076
Category:
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: The Junction
I just can't get enough! I went to Cool Hand for brunch (again) last weekend and had what was one of the most delicious omelettes in recent memory: candied sweet potatoes and aged cheddar. SO incredibly good. I absolutely adore this place for their…More »

Unbelievably tasty brunch. I live in the area and hit up Cool Hand almost every weekend for a… Read more »

Categories:
Gluten-Free,
Breakfast & Brunch,
Italian
Neighbourhood: Cabbagetown
Little did I know when I set foot in Big Mamma's Boy for brunch this morning that not only would the place be packed for Pride Weekend, but that it was also the day of their monthly "Psychic Brunch". For $40 you get a psychic reading (tarot, fortune…More »

3. Morning Glory Cafe
Toronto, ON M5A 1L6
Canada
(416) 703-4728
Category:
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Corktown
Busy, busy! On a Saturday around noon, Morning Glory was slammed with hungry diners and the staff was visibly frazzled. I ordered the grilled cheese sandwich ($6) made with cheddar, gruyere and havarti and sliced tomatoes plus a side of rosti ($2).…More »

4. Le Petit Déjeuner
Toronto, ON M5A 1J5
Canada
(416) 703-1560
Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,
Belgian
Neighbourhood: Corktown
After a long flight back to Toronto I was craving brunchy things and remembered a Yelp tip I once read about the fact that Le Petit Dejeuner is open during the week for brunch. I gasped and promptly marched into LPD to collect some food.
I was lured…More »

5. Joy Bistro Bar
Toronto, ON M4M 1J3
Canada
(416) 465-8855
Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,
Canadian (New),
Wine Bars
Neighbourhood: Riverdale
Supremely yummy brunch options! I love Joy (and its sister restaurant, Over Joy - which is the upstairs portion) because it's off the beaten path and never overly crowded or hard to get a table. If you go, make sure you order Joy's Cheesy Eggs…More »
6. Swan Restaurant
Toronto, ON M6J 1G3
Canada
(416) 532-0452
Categories:
Diners,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhoods: Niagara, West Queen West, Trinity Bellwoods
My visit to Swan for brunch on Saturday was incredibly overdue in addition to being highly anticipated. Our server, Katie, had a wonderful smile and showed it often. She was attentive and friendly and the moment she rhymed off the day's specials I…More »
7. Boiler House
Toronto, ON M5A 3C4
Canada
(416) 203-2121
Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,
French,
Steakhouses
Neighbourhoods: Distillery District, West Don Lands
Boiler House's brunch is expensive (I believe it's $25 flat) but the amount of food you get for an enjoyable, relaxing experience is worth it for a treat once in a while. I often head to Boiler House for a "group" brunch as it's one of the few venues…More »
8. Mr. Onions
Toronto, ON M6N 3E5
Canada
(416) 762-6683
Categories:
Diners,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: The Junction
Mr. Onions (formerly called Mr. Purple Onion and not to be confused with The Purple Onion, which is also a steakhouse/grill and coincidentally located 1.1 km away on Dundas Street West - confused yet!?) looks incredibly suspect from the outside - the…More »
9. Aunties & Uncles
If you expect to wait less than 30 minutes for a seat at Aunties & Uncles you'll be grumpy and disappointed. Just accept the fact that you'll be waiting a MINIMUM of 30-60 minutes and you'll be a much happier brunch attendee. Just be thankful that…More »
10. Luna Cafe
Toronto, ON M6J 3C6
Canada
(416) 588-3374
Category:
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Beaconsfield Village
This tiny cafe is tucked away in a residential neighbourhood just north of Queen Street - it's so remote that you'd almost think you were heading along on the wrong street because it's amongst apartment complexes and houses. It's small and seats only…More »
11. Easy Restaurant
Toronto, ON M6R 1A9
Canada
(416) 537-4893
Category:
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhoods: Parkdale, Roncesvalles
Easy does it again! (ha...I didn't mean to make a pun)
I decided to branch out and try the Eggs Benedict at Easy this morning and I am happy to say the dish makes my list of best eggs benny in the city. I ordered the Eggs Florentine (as I always do…More »

Canada
(416) 534-9056
Category:
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhoods: The Annex, Seaton Village
I arrived for breakfast at 8:50am on a Sunday** and although the business hours stated that they were open from 8 and the door was open, I was told that they in fact opened at 9 and I'd have to wait outside. So I stood there for 10 minutes and…More »

13. Mitzi's Café
Toronto, ON M6R 2E2
Canada
(416) 588-1234
Category:
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Roncesvalles
Not to be confused with the larger Mitzi's Sister on Queen, Mitzi's is a tiny cafe tucked away on Sorauren Avenue in the middle of a completely residential street, and I'd like to say it's a secret, but judging by the Aunties & Uncles-esque wait…More »
14. Lady Marmalade
Toronto, ON M4M 1J3
Canada
(647) 351-7645
Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,
Italian
Neighbourhood: Leslieville
In July 2009 when Lady Marmalade first opened, they promised "debit coming soon" - debit is still not available as of April 2010. Cash only. Luckily there is a TD a few doors down, and if you read this before or during your wait in the guaranteed…More »

Canada

Categories:
Vegan,
Breakfast & Brunch,
Vegetarian
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
Kumquat. In my fruit salad. KUMQUAT!! Such a weird word (and an odd-looking fruit), yet there it was, staring me in the face perched atop a bunch of other tropical fruits in my badass side salad. Karine's does not screw around when it comes to sides,…More »
16. Cora's Breakfast & Lunch
Toronto, ON M5V 3E4
Canada
(416) 598-2672
Category:
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core
I've just joined Cora's Enthusiast's Club, and boy do I feel great. No really. It's an actual thing. A club for people who love Cora's. Who doesn't love fan clubs? Exclusive sneak peeks that involve brunchy foods AND a fun newsletter to keep me…More »

17. DT Bistro-Patisserie
When you enter DT (aka "Dessert Trends") Bistro you're immediately greeted by an overwhelming panoply of delicious cakes, tarts, souffles and mousses. If I had to guess I'd say there were about 40 different individual-sized selections, each one more…More »
18. Simple Bistro
Toronto, ON M4S 2M5
Canada
(416) 483-8933
Categories:
French,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant and Davisville
First impressions are paramount, right? When I arrived I was greeted with the following: "Hey, we're really busy. Either you'll have to put up with slow service as I'm the only person working, or I'll have to turn you away."

Talk about a first…More »

Category:

Neighbourhood: Wallace Emerson
There need to be more reviews for this place - I demand it! Highly overlooked brunch spot, and one of two reasons to ever get off at Lansdowne station (Ciro's being the other: http://www.yelp.ca/biz...). Step over the vagrants that are loafing…More »

Canada
(416) 924-7583
Categories:
Diners,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Cabbagetown
As expected, a second visit turned my review into a four star one. Never again shall I order the mealy Eggs Florentine here. From this day forth, I shall only only two eggs any way, with tasty home fries, decent sliced fruit on the side and toast…More »

How have I never reviewed this place?? This morning when I visited I was desperately trying to remember if I liked the homefries here or thought they were "meh" so I looked up my own review for reference, and there wasn't one, so here we go: for…More »
