From Wednesday to Sunday, diners slip into this modern Brockton Village spot for brunch staples as familiar as French toast with whipped maple butter and as delightfully novel as cereal shrimp toast.

There's no racing through brunch at this sister spot to Atomic 10, located in Corso Italia.

Play it safe with Rosa's Breakfast Platter: a smorgasbord of dishes designed to hit every flavour note.

Tamales, pasteles de pollo, desayunos típicos and other Nicaraguan specialties draw a  ravenous crowd to this cheery Oakwood Village spot.

Now housed in sunny new digs on St. Clair West, this bakery and brunch spot delights diners with a wealth of fetching options — from small treats and take-home essentials, to special-occasion cakes and full meals.

What started with chef Rolando Oreiro's tender, tempting cookies has morphed into this snug Little Italy room, where a variety of brunch plates satisfy diners looking for comfort and calm.

Specializing in Western dishes with delectable Thai twists, this ornate restaurant on Carlton near Yonge is for diners looking to venture outside of the conventional brunch box.

At this Dundas West diner, the team serves up a feast of triple decker BLTs and eggs benny, smash burgers, brioche French toast and more using a strictly plant-based ingredient list.
