I went to Insomnia TWICE this weekend. OK, it was a long weekend, but STILL!

Insomnia is my go-to brunch place. Might have something to do with the fact that it's walking distance from my abode. Might have something to do with the summer berry…More »

We had a really lovely brunch at Earth on Sunday. A table for 8 was set aside via opentable. The staff were really understanding as our numbers fluctuated. Reservation made for 8, we arrived slowly, later thought we were only 7, half way through…More »

A nice brunch spot that takes reservations! A little further than my usual haunts, but worth the trip.

I ordered the cheesecake stuffed french toast and a side of bacon. I made the mistake of ordering the petit version though. I had already had…More »

What a small little place! I've walked past it for years, but never noticed it. I was looking for a place for a Thursday 11am brunch (harder than it should be). Well, Yelp showed some good review for this place, and it was in the right area, so we…More »

We went on Sangria Sunday where a pitcher was $20. A pretty good deal, although the sangria didn't blow me away. It reminded me of the stuff at Nirvana, which really isn't the height of sangria.

I ordered the mussels with a side of fries. They were…More »

I felt I should like mitizi's. I like brunch, and my fab friend said he likes it there. He, being way more cool and stylish and in the know than me. But... I didn't love it.

It was fine. Me and two gentlemen friends went out for brunch on a Saturday…More »

Breakfast/brunch was decent. Nice sized portions. Nothing worth raving about, but decent.The watermelon as a garnish was a nice touch. My main gripe is about the lack of cold bevvies in the morning. No iced coffee. No milkshakes (not served at…More »

Their brunch is pretty darn good (if you can get a seat). I would recommend you go for breakfast.Their dinner's however? Lacking in my personal opinion. We had a garden salad with grilled chicken, and a chicken quesadilla. Neither were very good, and…More »

Adorable space to go for brunch. It's a bit difficult to get to if you don't live in the area. (And by difficult to get to I mean it's not right on the subway line. Yes, I am spoiled.) We walked up from Ossington station, and it took about 10…More »

Parkdale you say? Queen PAST Landsdowne? I was definitely out of my area of familiarity, but another Sunday, another brunch date with two lovely gentlemen. One of whom drives. Score. Still, this was a bit of a trek for me (clearly not for all the…More »
