A Jewish institution in business for over 100 years, now located in the very mediocre Lawrence Plaza. It wasn't until my third visit that I didn't realize they don't have meat or poultry on the menu- just traditional fish and dairy.
Breakfast is fast, friendly and excellent. Try any one of the scoops or platters, or go with an omelette. There are many better bagel options in the neighbourhood, but their twister bagels are decent.
The standout tip for this place: the split pea soup. Homemade daily and served with noodles, we always get a 1 liter take-out container after our meal. They have other alternating soups made daily, but the split pea is on every day and ready by 8am.
If your kid tolerance is low, avoid weekend mornings, as it is packed with families with young children. After half a dozen visits, we haven't had a bad experience yet.
