  • At last, I've found dependable (and affordable) brunch EAST of Spadina! If you plan on having brunch here on the weekend, reservations are definitely recommended. The lineups here are teensy-tiny compared to the brain-explosive queues to be found at Aunties & Uncles or Hoof Cafe, but hey, why wait if you don't have to? Our party of 6 swung by here for a birthday brunch (family friendly!) on a Saturday morning. The place was bustling with activity, and the added bulk of our winter parkas certainly didn't help! Tables were buzzing as girlfriends were catching up with girlfriends, and boyfriends were catching up with boyfriends - close to Church Street, baby! - and thankfully, while noisy, it was still at a perfect level for decent conversation at our table. The brunch menu left all of us scramble-ing (har har). Everything on there looked delicious, and with every dish coming out of the kitchen we found ourselves changing our minds. Definitely noteworthy are their great selection of Eggs Bennys served up on cornbread, and upgraded to delicious sweet potato fries. I went with their stuffed french toast special of the day, which on this particular morning happened to be strawberry and fig stuffed french toast, with a side of sausage. This dish was pure heaven - super soft bread (egg bread maybe?) with a layer of that fruity filling in between, drizzled with maple syrup. Magnifique! The rest of our table had no complaints about their food - except for mixed reviews about the cornbread base on the benny - and all in all, a success! Pros: - Sweet potato fries - Poached eggs - Coffee was always refilled! - Most mains come with salad and fries - Complimentary banana bread as you mull over the menu Cons: - Service was a tad lacklustre. Perhaps because it was because they were so busy? - Mandatory tip of 18% on parties of 6 or more. Hm... see above point. - Atmosphere - the buzz of people around was great, but other than that, the decor is a little ho-hum - Washrooms: suddenly you feel like you're at 751. That being said, definitely a reliable brunch spot for we downtowners who can't always make out it to the far reaches of the east and west. And uh, did I mention that you don't have to feel like an idiot for waiting an hour for eggs?
