I've only tried The Commodore for brunch but...going once was definitely not enough. Brunch at this small Parkdale restaurant is amazing. Only gone twice, both times I've managed to find a table for 2 around noon time. The restaurant has a good flow of customers and service is friendly. The vibe/atmosphere is very relaxing and the interior has a nautical theme that is instagram worthy.
The dishes seem small in size but don't be fooled, they can easily fill you up and the portions are just right; each dish is also packed with flavour and presented on pretty vintage looking plates. So...in terms of brunch dishes I've tried, the Reuben eggs benny is hands down one of the best bennies I've had in the city. The sauerkraut gives the dish another element when combined with the smoked pastrami and cheese. And of course the hollandaise is as good as it gets; everything in the dish works together perfectly. Also tried the octopus frittata. The combination of octopus, eggs, chorizo, and romesco sauce results in a filling meal. Lastly, the fluffy pancakes are done just right, somewhat crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The tiramisu mousse/espresso syrup gives the pancakes a not so sweet element.
Overall, love coming here for brunch and will most likely return...hopefully for dinner!
