11 Best Brunch Places in Toronto | Condé Nast Traveler

"Light-drenched and airy, with bright green walls adorned with local art and a hodgepodge of mismatched antique tables and chairs, this Leslieville institution feels kind of like your local greasy spoon joint—if it went on a juice cleanse. Since opening in 2009, this sustainably-minded spot has drawn in a consistent and devoted brunch crowd that wants to have fun on a Saturday afternoon, without the Sunday morning guilt; and they can do that with dishes like the Moroccan scramble (organic tofu or eggs, kale, spinach, tomatoes, spiced chickpeas, and avocado) and fresh fruit crêpes, served with yogurt, house granola, and a berry coulis. Of course, they can also get down and dirty with one of LM's Eggs Benedict platters; the joint offers variations on the classic, like cochinita pibil pulled pork and citrus onions, and house-cured salmon and roasted veggies. Ultimately, it's a meal you can feel good—okay, at least better—about." - Todd Plummer

Absolutely loved the atmosphere! It was light, airy and clean. Esthetically pleasing with their array of hanging plants along the wall. The staff were welcoming and made sure to check on us during our meal to ensure we were satisfied with our food and that our coffees were topped up. The food was delicious! Presentation and taste were top notch. We specifically got the A.M. Hash with sausage. The cheese pull was insane on this one, but the taste did not disappoint! We also got the Morrocan Scramble. The toasted bread to pair with the scrambled mix of Morrocan flavours along with the side salad was perfect! To complete our brunch, we opted into the bread pudding and absolutely loved it! Thank you for a great brunch! We will be back. ❤️

I’ve been here a few times and the food is absolutely delicious. Our server was kind and attentive. The only reason I gave it four stars was the entry line system. We checked the website and knew there aren’t reservations on weekends, but what we didn’t know is if your party is more than two people and your entire party is not there, they will not seat you until your entire party has arrived. Keep this in mind if you’re planning to go earlier than others in your party. They will seat others ahead of you, even if you got there first. We went early and ended up waiting outside for about 25-30 minutes. Aside from that, the queue does move along well and wait times don’t seem too bad. The food is well worth it!!!

We visited Lady Marmalade for brunch and were thoroughly impressed! The food was absolutely delicious – we had a dish with pulled pork, crispy potatoes, melted cheese, and fresh scallions on top. So flavorful and satisfying. The other dish featured crispy bacon wrapped around a perfectly poached egg, served with fresh salad and golden potatoes – everything was cooked to perfection. The restaurant is very clean, bright, and thoughtfully decorated. The hanging plants and minimal wood design create a warm and relaxed atmosphere. Service was friendly and attentive, and the mimosa was fresh and well-balanced. We’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended for a special breakfast or brunch in Toronto!

Here’s an enh I finally made it back to Lady Marmalade for breakfast after a long time, and it was just as amazing as I remembered! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and despite how busy it was, the service was fast, efficient, and super friendly—the staff truly go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. I ordered the Poached Egg B.L.T., the Breakfast Sandwich, a freshly squeezed orange juice, and a Bailey’s Latte—and everything was absolutely perfect! The ingredients were fresh, the flavors were on point, and the execution was flawless. You can really taste the care and quality in every bite. Even with a packed house, the service was smooth and well-coordinated, proving that this place is top-notch in both food and hospitality. If you’re looking for an amazing breakfast spot in the city, I highly recommend Lady Marmalade! Thank you to the team for another fantastic experience—keep up the great work!

Good food. Good service. Manageable wait times. Very accommodating to special requests. Huevos Migas -- great portion size. The rice can be more flavored. Eggs Benedict -- a lot of customization options. Good house fries. Nice salad & dressing. Bread pudding was the star. Served warm. Berry with lemon was the perfect balance of sweet & tart. Didn't need the maple syrup. But, once poured, you cannot stop finishing it. Don't miss the hot sauce.

The Moroccan scramble is really tasty! Not too heavy, it’s great. We subbed the salad for potatoes and I think that was the right move. The gluten free bread is really good!! The coffee is super good, and bottomless for $3.50. The vegan kale Caesar is also delicious. Some of the potatoes were crispy, but I would have liked them even more crispy. The service was sooo good. Super kind and very informative. We had to wait around 20 minutes on a Saturday at 10am.

Tucked away in a quiet corner of Broadview, Lady Marmalade is a cozy brunch spot known for its delicious food. We went at just the right time because the moment we stepped out, we saw a lineup starting to form just outside the restaurant. I ordered their Aperol Spritz to start with followed by their Cochinita Torta (absolutely packed with flavour!) which was a pulled pork sandwich served with house fries (which was very flavourful) and their Classic Breakfast Sandwich, featuring scrambled eggs and avocado on a soft bun, paired with a fresh side salad. The food definitely lived up to the hype, and the service was just as good. It totally makes sense that there was a line up outside!

This might be one of my new favourite brunch spots! It’s a gorgeous restaurant and the service was generally good. I ordered their granola bowl this time, but will certainly be back to try some of their other menu items. While the yogurt-to-granola-to-fruit ratio wasn’t exactly my ideal (I’m picky!), it still delivered as a proper granola bowl. The Balkan yogurt was an excellent choice, adding richness and tang, while the bananas and blueberries offered a classic, complementary pairing. As for the granola itself? It checked all the boxes: crunchy, subtly sweet, and satisfying. 9/10
