OPERATING HOURS	Monday to Sunday: 8:30 AM – 2:30 AM

Located along Broadway Avenue, Lady Marmalade is a restaurant that serves brunch and lunch meals from morning until midnight. That’s great news for diners  who can’t get enough of a single breakfast meal in one day.

Lady Marmalade’s breakfast and lunch menu is heavy on eggs, chicken, and beef, so it might not be the perfect spot for vegetarians. It does have a few vegetable-heavy meals, but consider other brunch spots if you want variety.

Its dessert selection is quite limited as well, but we can forgive that considering that it’s mainly a brunch restaurant serving heavy meals. Those who can’t finish a meal without sweets might want to think twice, though.

If you’re grabbing a quick meal in between work, we suggest dropping by here due to its friendly and quick service. Meals are usually served in no less than 10 minutes, which means you’ll be out of there in no time.

It’s in full capacity on most days as it’s a popular dining spot in the area. On extremely busy days, it’s almost full capacity as early as 9:00 AM, so be sure to come by early if you want to secure a table and seats.

Customer Reviews

Here’s what past and repeat diners have to say about Lady Marmalade:

“Great as always! I love their breakfasts and their service. Every time I order they make it ready in under 10 minutes and you don’t have to wait at all! super friendly staff, real customer service and for some reason this place makes you feel good although you are there just for pick up! food is amazing! thank you Ry for your great service today!” -Saman Shekarabi

“I’ve ordered from here a few times for work lunches throughout the pandemic. It is SO delicious. And as someone with celiac, I love that I have been able to enjoy their baja rice bowls without having any negative reaction. It was SUPER tasty and I can’t wait to visit this place in real life when the time comes. Cheers!” -Caitlyn Beatty

2. Mildred’s Temple Kitchen

BEST SELLERS	Huevos monty, Veda’s choice, Mildred’s burger, and Wally’s cheesy savoury tart
DELIVERY	Yes
PRICE	$14 to $20

ADDRESS	85 Hanna Ave #104, Toronto, ON M6K 3S3, Canada
CONTACT DETAILS	16-588-5695
OPERATING HOURS	Thursday: 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM Friday to Saturday: 9:00 AM – 9:00 AM Sunday:  10:00 AM – 3:00 PM

For those who don’t mind going a little over the budget, Mildred’s Temple Kitchen might be the perfect brunch spot for you. Its cheapest brunch meal is $14, so definitely not the most budget-friendly restaurant out there.

The thing we like most about Mildred’s Temple Kitchens is that it caters to every lifestyle, whether you’re trying to lose weight or hoping to gain a few more pounds. There’s a meal for everyone here.

When it comes to serving size, Mildred’s Temple Kitchens doesn’t miss. A regular brunch meal is enough for two people, so if you’re eating it on your own, we’re sure that you’re going to be full for the rest of the day.

No worries if you love finishing a meal with either a wine or cocktail because there’s a wide selection of drinks to choose from. If you prefer to eat your brunch with tea or coffee, you can get either of them as well.

It only serves two types of dessert though, so the lack of variety might not be enough to satisfy your sweet tooth.

But really, the only real qualm we have with Mildred’s Temple Kitchen is the short operating days and hours. Right now, it’s only open for four days a week, starting from 9 AM until 9 PM, so we do hope that it will get extended.

Customer Reviews

Take a look at these comments posted by diners:

“Came here for a brunch date and it was amazing!!! The pancakes are an absolute must-order. Super fluffy and large portions that are good to be shared by two. Hamburger was also fantastic. Service was also incredible – one of the only restaurants where the service has left a lasting impression. Highly recommended as it’s worth the trip out to Liberty Village on its own.” -Chris Gunst

“Grabbed Mother’s day brunch from them. Pre-booked for a timeslot and the food was ready on time. The host was so friendly and apologetic that I had to wait 5 minutes even though I was totally fine with it. The packaging itself was very nice and they included a very cute mother’s day card. I missed going to this place to dine there but their take out is excellent.” -Sanjeev Shantharam

3. Evviva Breakfast and Lunch

If you want a dining spot that puts a modern twist on the classic breakfast meals, Evviva could be the one you’re looking for. It earned a spot here based on three main reasons.

First, Evviva boasts one of the most sizable menus among our picks, which includes different types of omelettes, salads, waffles, burgers, sandwiches, grilled meat, and of course, hot and cold beverages.

There’s even a menu dedicated to children, making it a perfect spot for parents who want to bring their kids along to brunch. More than that, it’s a restaurant for catching up with friends, special occasions, and even quick business meetings.

Second, strict vegetarians have nothing to worry about because there’s also a menu that caters to their diet restriction. We appreciate that it’s not a limited vegan menu, so you will have multiple vegan meals to choose from.

Lastly, Evviva is quite the popular dining spot, so booking a reservation is highly recommended. That’s a good thing as that would save you from having to wait for over an hour for a seat.

As with most restaurants in the GTA, its dining options are restricted due to the pandemic, but if you want to be safe, opt for takeout or delivery.

Customer Reviews

Anthony Boudreau posted his experience on Google Reviews:

“What a fun and tasty experience! The biggest difference with a brunch is obviously the people you’re with but to top it off, there’s nothing like perfect food, friendly service and the atmosphere. This place checks all the boxes and you can’t really go wrong with it! FYI – We were a group of 4 and we did have to wait 30-40 minutes before getting a table (during covid) but it was definitely worth the wait.”

Another customer named Alisha D’Souza left this raving review:

“Such an amazing place to come for a Brunch!! Their menu has great variety and also vegan options. The food was amazing. We got their Mimosa which was so refreshing for a hot sunny day!! Would recommend everyone to make a reservation, else you would have to wait like me for 2hrs. Trust me when I said I waited to have this amazing meal. I would love to go back when the indoor seating opens. The decor definitely vibes with the food!!”

4. Dirty Food Eatery

BEST SELLERS	Chicken and waffles, coconut-blueberry sweet cakes, dirty burger, eggs Jenny, and breakfast’wich
DELIVERY	Yes
PRICE	$14 to $18
WEBSITE	https://www.dirtyfoodto.com/
ADDRESS	3070 Dundas St W, Toronto, ON M6P 1Z7, Canada
CONTACT DETAILS	416-855-3393
OPERATING HOURS	Monday to Friday: 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM

If you want to treat yourself to a greasy, calorie-loaded brunch, we highly recommend checking out Dirty Food Eatery. As its name suggests, it’s home to some of the best burgers, fries, and grilled cheeses in Toronto.

Dirty Food Eater is a small restaurant along Dundas Street, so it’s understandable that it doesn’t have the most extensive menu among our picks. It works for anyone who wants to indulge in greasy burgers and isn’t looking for anything fancy.

As expected, there’s no brunch meal catering to vegans, so you might want to think twice before bringing a friend with diet restrictions here.

In line with that, its brunch meals are all reasonably priced, which is good for those with a limited budget. There’s even a picnic package that can feed up to four people, something worth considering if you’re dining in with friends.

Due to the pandemic, it’s currently limited to patio dining, so only a handful of customers can dine in at the same time. If you want to dine in, you need to sign up on its waitlist sheet.

However, if you’re not willing to wait for days, just choose online delivery. It’s what most of its repeat customers are doing recently, anyway.

Customer Reviews

Take a look at why customers consider it one of the best brunch spots in Toronto:

“The waiter explained that the quiche is always good, and he wasn’t wrong. Eggplant quiche was amazing with home fries. My wife had biscuits and gravy and subbed out the greens for potatoes too. Easily one of the best if not the best brunch we have ever eaten. Good service and going on a weekday is definitely the way to go. We like to think of ourselves as brunch enthusiasts and giving this place such high praise takes a lot. We will be back asap.” -Joseph Johnson

“This place has delicious and unique menu items every week. I have tried the Friday Night dinner series when it was ribs and southern themed, food was amazing and cooked to perfection! The sausage and chicken gumbo is also one of my go to’s now, very tasty! Highly recommend trying the different menus each week and going back for more! The staff are also really kind and friendly, keeping well with pandemic protocols and ensuring only one customer is in the store front at a time to pick up their food.” -Pamela Gab

Next on our list is the Victory Cafe, an establishment most known for their craft beers and selection of scotches and wines from around the world. Their offerings don’t stop there, though.

Those who are new to the area may not be privy to the fact that the Victory Cafe also offers an extensive brunch menu, filled with made to order dishes that are perfect to jumpstart the day with.

Some of the dishes we have to recommend include the Buttermilk Fried Chicken and Waffles, Atlantic Smoked Salmon, Grilled Cheese, Victory Burger, and the Big Victory, which consists of three eggs, choice of toast, three bacon or two sausages, and fresh fruit and home fries.

There are many others to try out, of course. Vegan and vegetarian customers won’t have any difficulty choosing, either, since the cafe offers an array of meat-free dishes.

While we’re talking about the menu, we have to note that there are few seafoods options on the brunch menu. Hopefully, more will be added in the future.

Next on our list is a cafe that serves locally sourced, naturally raised, hand-made and farm fresh food.

Lazy Daisy’s Cafe offers an amazing array of food items, including their handmade buttermilk biscuits in multiple flavours, sandwiches, breakfast burritos, homemade soups, chili, salads and signature jams. We personally recommend the buttermilk biscuit sandwiches for a twist on the traditional meal!

Coffee lovers can even pair up these scrumptious treats with Lazy Daisy’s Cafe’s micro-roasted coffee, which is always done in small batches and sourced via direct or fair trade.

Aside from the mouthwatering food and drinks menu, Lazy Daisy’s Cafe makes an excellent choice for brunch simply because the service is phenomenal. The staff are all friendly and accommodating, and do their best to serve things as quickly as possible.

Rise & Dine Eatery is a family-owned and operated brunch spot in Toronto that opened in 2017. 

We thought it was interesting that their menu was inspired by years of traveling worldwide, as we believe this allowed them to curate their food options carefully.

Their over 30 years of experience impressed us because we believe it establishes their food quality and customer service level.

What we liked best about this restaurant was its extensive breakfast menu, which included everything from omelets, bacon, and sausages to smoked salmon and beef.

We liked how they have a build-your-own omelet option where you can choose the vegetables, toppings, and type of cheese. The Rise & Dine Eatery also has a classics menu where all meals are served with home fries and toast.

If you still have room for dessert, Rise & Dine Eatery provides an array of sweet dishes such as pancakes, french toast, waffles, and many more.

It’s also worth noting that they recently opened their own ice cream parlor within their store, complete with various ice cream flavors, slushies, and cheesecakes.

Now, we’re not big fans of the fact that they don’t have vegan food and dessert options. We also wish they had more store branches.

Nonetheless, we believe Rise & Dine Eatery is one of the best brunch spots in Vancouver, with a handpicked menu that includes customizable breakfast options.

Customer Reviews

Friendly staff and fast service

“First time here and the 5 stars reviews were spot on. Came on a Friday around 11:30am and there was no wait time. The staff were friendly and the service was equally the same and fast. The place was clean and had an upbeat feel, just what I was looking for in a breakfast/brunch place.” – John S.

Great breakfast spot

“Great breakfast spot around the area. Didn’t have to wait too long but it does get very busy. Parking is available but definitely a smaller lot.” -Steven W.
