The Ace

Diner · Old Toronto

The Ace is a beautiful restaurant with a friendly atmosphere and delicious food. With their brunch menu full of fresh and unique options, it is the perfect spot for a leisurely meal - and even better when shared with friends. I recently visited The Ace with a group of five people and everyone was pleased with the quality. Whether it was the Torched Mackerel special, the Brussels Sprouts dish, Fried Chicken, or the Sticky Toffee Pudding, there was no shortage of flavor and tantalizing aromas. Thanks to the friendly and helpful staff, it was easy for us to get the advice we needed. The Ace has something for everyone.

Kitchen On Sixth

Restaurant · New Toronto

Visiting Kitchen On Sixth for brunch is nothing short of a pleasure – lineups out the door after 10:30am are the norm and show the appeal of this restaurant. On a Tuesday morning, I was lucky enough to beat the line and had the pleasure of enjoying a truly fantastic brunch. The service we received was excellent – the staff were attentive, friendly, and accommodating as we settled into an intimate table and settled down to peruse the mouthwatering brunch menu. We both opted for the eggs Benedict – added some delightful saucy additions and side greens while I chose to enjoy it sans any extras.

Sisters & Co

Brunch restaurant · Trinity Bellwoods

Visiting Sisters & Co is like entering a restaurant oasis on Queen Street. The cafe is small and cosy, packed with a warm inviting atmosphere. Despite getting there shortly before they were about to close, the incredibly friendly staff managed to squeeze us in and make us feel right at home. The drinks menu includes delicious mimosas and earl grey tea- perfect accompaniments to any brunch. For food we tried the renowned avocado toast, and it did not disappoint! The thinly sliced, lightly toasted bread and creamy avo was complemented perfectly by the crispy home fries- the highlight of the meal. We also opted for their drip coffee, a great way to start your day.

SIMPL THINGS

Snack bar · South Parkdale

The ambiance is warm and inviting when you enter Simpl Things in the evening, greeted by the always-smiling chefs in the kitchen. The cocktails are nothing short of sensational, and the espresso martini that always gets praised among friends is one of the best in the city. Chef Betty's food has Asian flavors created with a sophisticated French technique. For brunch, their Pasta Cartl feature is definitely a must-try, allowing you to reserve a table for weekend brunch. The portions are generous, starting with two delicious fish croquetas for only $9. The tagliolini, at $19, is brimming with flavor, rarely allowing the aromatics of the ingredients to be overpowered by one another.
