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

Nice and bright spot for a reasonably priced brunch. Menu items are typical brunch/breakfast favourites. We went there on a Friday at 10:30am and the place was almost full (we were sat quickly though). Service was great.

Took a close friend here for her birthday brunch and it did not disappoint! We waited about 40 minutes before we were seated which wasn’t too horrible considering the line was quite long but moved quickly. Clearly a popular place. The drinks were great, I would highly recommend the cold pressed juice as a nice compliment to your morning latte. Personally I had the braised beef eggs Benedict and I can’t say enough good things about it. Service was good, not the most attentive but it was also very busy so I can’t fault them for that.

Went here for brunch with a friend over the weekend and it turned out to be a really nice surprise. I wasn’t thrilled about the walk-in only policy with no reservations, but I appreciated how the server often came out to check the line and keep things moving. I ordered the Salmon Benny and while the portion looked a little small at first (made me wish I had added something else), the quality more than made up for it. The salmon was beautifully cured, paired perfectly with the soft poached egg and sauce, execution at a level you don’t often see. I’m already thinking of coming back to try the Build Your Own Benny just to see what other combinations could be. Cozy space, friendly service, and a warm vibe made it a perfect start to a sleepy Saturday morning.

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. ❤️

Loved the brunch and I got a very basic brekky sandwich. Soft bun and all the toppings in it was so good! The place is clean and has a great atmosphere. Went on a Monday and was seated right away. Definitely need to go back to try something else! Parking on the street. Tables main and upstairs. Bottomless coffee.

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!!!

Cute spot for brunch, modern minimalist ambaiance. Giving it 4 stars as there was a line up outside and they don't take reservations. It gets pretty busy. There's a coffee shop at the bottom where you can get takeout and dine-in restaurant on top. Food options are good though so worth a visit.

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.
