Most restaurants have not pulled out their lunch menus yet, so you&#8217;re left\u00a0with one option &#8211; brunch. The question is, where should you go for brunch in Toronto? It&#8217;s one of the biggest cities in North America, so the amount of options can be\u00a0overwhelming. To save you the stress of finding a perfect place, keep reading for the 10 best brunch restaurants in Toronto; this list will surely get you excited to make some brunch plans!<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>1. The Good Fork<\/h3>\n<p>Located in the Jane and Bloor area, otherwise known as the heart of Etobicoke, The Good Fork is by <em>far<\/em> my favourite brunch restaurant in Toronto. The staff is\u00a0kind and courteous, and\u00a0you&#8217;ll rarely face a long wait before being seated. Recognized by Torontonians for their infamous red velvet pancakes, The Good Fork always is a crowd pleaser. They also update their menus with new brunch creations regularly!<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>2. What A Bagel<\/h3>\n<p>Calling all bagel lovers! With multiple locations all around Toronto, What A Bagel will surely cure your bagel and brunching needs. With a wide variety of\u00a0regular style and gourmet bagels to choose from, What A Bagel is definitely a spot to hit up for your carb cravings. What A Bagel was\u00a0the first local joint to introduce rainbow bagels, a gourmet bagel trend that travelled from New York to Montreal and now resides in Toronto.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/h6>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>3. Caldense Bakery<\/h3>\n<p>With multiple locations all throughout Toronto, Caldense Bakery is a traditional Portuguese-style bakery. They have mastered\u00a0the fine art of breakfast, lunch <em>and<\/em> brunch cuisine. Whether you\u2019re in the mood for a delicious custard tart, a Tosta-Mista (a grilled ham and cheese sandwich), sunny-side up eggs or a soup, Caldense is a great place for a bite at\u00a0anytime of the day.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>4. Saving Grace<\/h3>\n<p>Downtown Toronto is loaded with dining options, but if you happen to be in the Dundas West area and are in the mood for brunch, Saving Grace is\u00a0the place to go. Famous for their \u201cEspressado\u201d (that\u2019s right, a wacky combination of espresso and avocado), Saving Grace is always a unique\u00a0brunch experience.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Bonjour Brioche<\/h3>\n<p>French pastry lovers, this one is for you. This bakery caf\u00e9, located in the Queen East area of downtown Toronto, has everything you\u00a0could ever imagine\u00a0to cure that\u00a0sweet tooth. Want\u00a0a cute brunch spot to try some\u00a0fruit tarts with friends? Or a new date spot to devour \u00e9clairs with your significant other? Add Bonjour Brioche to your list.<\/p>\n<h3>6. Okay Okay<\/h3>\n<p>Hangovers&#8230;they suck. We&#8217;re all familiar with the aftermath that follows a night of heavy\u00a0drinking, but where can we go to\u00a0nix this\u00a0nasty state? If you&#8217;re in the Queen West area, Okay Okay is a\u00a0place where you can show up in last night\u2019s dress and have no shame. Their delectable eggs and buttermilk pancakes are great for\u00a0any state\u00a0of your hangover. And what could be better than all day breakfast? Nothing!<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>7. The Westerly<\/h3>\n<p>Located in one of Toronto\u2019s oldest neighbourhoods, this restaurant\u00a0is a kitchen by day and a bar by night. They have the best Eggs Benedict in Toronto, which are served on top of multiple biscuits. They&#8217;re also known for their creative variations on French toast, so if you need a fun\u00a0brunch place to visit, take a trip to Roncesvalles and\u00a0find the Westerly.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>8. Starving Artist<\/h3>\n<p>When thinking of this restaurant, one word\u00a0comes to my\u00a0mind: waffles. This is one of the only restaurants in Toronto in which their main course is\u2026you guessed it, waffles! Whether you\u2019re in the mood for a regular Belgian waffle or something more exciting\u00a0like a waffle BLT, Starving Artist on St. Clair West will surely cater to your every desire.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>9.

Butter Avenue<\/h3>\n<p>Did someone say macaroons? Butter Avenue is hands down the best place to get macaroons in Toronto. I know what you\u2019re thinking; macaroons aren\u2019t really a brunch food, but trust me&#8230;once you\u2019ve had Butter Avenue macaroons, you\u2019ll want to eat them every hour of the day. Butter Avenue\u00a0updates their macaroon flavours frequently, so you&#8217;ll have a unique experience every time you go. And if macaroons aren&#8217;t your thing, don&#8217;t worry &#8211; they&#8217;re always stocked with other delicious pastries too.
