Toronto's Best Brunch


NOW Magazine has published their annual list of the best brunch spots in Toronto. Being an avid bruncher, I've been to many of Toronto's brunch hot spots. Here's my commentary on some of the spots they've mentioned.

Calico - Awesome vegan brunch! Owner/Chef Jared is a food artist.
The Drake- Pretentious, but tasty.
Starving Artist - Amazing regular waffles, vegan waffles not great.
Fresh by Juice for Life - Brunch is just OK.
Pulp Kitchen - Good, simple food.
Aunties And Uncles - Crazy line-up, food was good.
Le Petit Dejeuner - Not good.
Sadie’s Diner - Fabulous diner. Staff are really cool.
Shanghai Cowgirl - Solid place.
Sneaky Dee’s - Soooo greasy. This is good and bad.
Live Organic Food - Who wants raw food for breakfast? Not me.
United Bakers Dairy - Good but over-priced.

Also, NOW didn't mention Insomnia - but their brunch is wonderful!
RIP to my all time favourite spot The Get Real Cafe which is now closed.

UPDATE: New amazing spot! The Bloordale Pantry has a fab brunch. Try the vegetarian Bloordale Benny (griddle scones poached eggs and homemade hollandaise sauce), it`ll blow your mind! There website is under construction but you can read more here and here and here.
