This Riverside joint blasted out of the gate this year with a menu of reubens and house-made sausage, as well as late hours and basic but delightful cocktails. It earns its diner name.

This Junction destination puts beet juice in their caesars, sweet potatoes in their vegan pancakes, and fried chicken between their waffles. This is where to go to get that indulgent homestyle brunch.

Coffee, pastries...and of course, cabbage rolls and pierogies. If that sounds like your idea of the best brunch ever, head to this revamped Leslieville joint that will serve you all those stick-to-your-ribs treats along with your eggs.

In the quiet Upper Beaches rests the little cafe that could do it all. This place has coffee, cocktails, baked goods and satisfying brunch offerings like waffle benedicts and French toast, as well as your daily groceries.
