| - Best bacon and eggs in the city. Hands down.
Aunties and Uncles is another one of those food places in the city that is run by late 20-/early 30-year-olds but this one is definitely my favourite. Serving only breakfast and lunch, they've garnered themselves a clientele of repeat customers that wait for 30-45 minutes during weekend brunch just to get a table. They have a small menu, and always have 4 or 5 specials, which always sound delicious. Over my past 6 months of regular attendance, I have not once been disappointed.
The staff there is friendly, but sometimes they come off as snooty. I choose to see it not as snooty, and more as the kind of wait staff that is not all bubbles and lollipops, the kind you will see pretty much everywhere else. Bubbles and lollipops are nice, but so is personality.
Speaking of personality, (segue!) this restaurant has it. With old vinyl chairs and never match and walls that are plastered with all sort of memorabilia from times gone by, Aunties and Uncles works to maintain that 'classic' feel.
If waiting in line is not your thing, be sure to get there early, as the line tends to form at around 11 on the weekends. Your other option is to go during the week, when you'll almost never wait.
In addition to being closed on Mondays, I've discovered that the store is always close on the weekend of a holiday (ie. Labour day weekend). Keep that in mind when deciding to go.
