    Braised beef Benny - my English muffins were a little burnt but food was okay. Salad dressing was nice.
    Deb C.

    Feels small! Can see it being crowded with long lines during peak times. Was not a super fan of being right by the bathroom, but when I had to use it, it was clean and there was a change table over the toilet, airplane style but full size. Also not a super fan of sharing a table - was seated at a table for 6 where 2 people take one side and 2 people take the other side. When my friend arrived, we were able to switch to a table for 2 without a problem because it was kind of in a high traffic spot where she was afraid of blocking the way. I'd honestly recommend just switching to smaller tables that can be pushed together or pulled apart instead of doing the communal seating thing. Food was good. Had the braised beef benny, and my friend had the banh mi. The salad dressing was nice. She couldn't finish her potatoes and took them home to air fry them so they could be crispier. She had the hibiscus iced tea which she said was missing a little something. Not sure if the cane sugar she added did anything. I ordered an orange juice while waiting for her to arrive. Felt like the glass could have been a little bigger but then again, the prices of everything are going up. Don't know that I'd put this on my must-see list for Toronto but I can see it being a local favourite since the staff are really friendly. Tight spaces and a big staircase upstairs so probably not wheelchair-friendly.

    Breakfast pudding

    Visiting a friend in Toronto and I said let's go have a nice breakfast. Looked up yelp. This place popped up. My buddy - no there is always a huge line. Who waits in line to pay for food? he said. I said, for good food, I can travel to Paris. So we went. We asked for a party of 6 and they said 15 minutes. We hopped in the line, because of the number 6, people behind us sat before us and we waited and waited and wondered what the point of line was. The one less star is for this process. Once we were at the table the show started Good service. Good good food and good coffee The breakfast pudding was innovative and so good. I loved the eggs Benedict

    Bread pudding (French toast)

    Line was long to get in but so worth it the food is so good! The vibe of the place is cute too and the service was awesome!

    Pulled Pork Benny
    Roger Z.

    Super cozy spot perfect to catch up with some friends. Reasonable (Toronto) prices and good portion sizes. Flavour palette is clean, fresh and bright; reflecting the energy of the service. Place is very popular so prepare to wait a little bit. Went on a Sunday at 12 and waited around 25 min. A little rough in the winter, but I would imagine its lovely in warmer weather. I like to try different dishes, and I found that getting a breakfast plate + a dessert to split between 2 was perfect. Personally tried the Huevos Migas, Pulled Pork Benny and Bread Pudding; all lovely but the pulled pork was my favorite, being the more flavourful of the three.

    We had Serena as our server today and I've been here a bunch of times hands down my fav server here. Super interesting conversation and so kind. The food as always is through the roof good! I highly recommend any of the Bennys but also a hidden gem... THE BREAD PUDDING WAS TO DIE FOR! Don't miss the best eggs Benny either they're the best in the city.

    Been here a few times before, got there around 11:45 and waited about 30 minutes for a table for 3, as expected with most spots. Service was alright...a little slow and I'm pretty sure she forgot one of the dishes we ordered until I reminded her 5 mins after getting our mains. Had the Moroccan scramble, breakfast sandwich, huevos migas and a side potatoes- recommend all of these. Good portion size, ended up taking some of the potatoes home. Pretty standard price for Toronto brunch. Nice restaurant inside, we sat at a communal style table with another party at the opposite end. Didn't mind it.

    Came here for brunch on Saturday morning, the wait was around the corner and we ended up in line for about an hour. Once we got in the entire has this cute clean vibe, lots of greenery and a cute wood panelling inside. We all got a variety of dishes, I got the huevos dish, we also got the egg sandwich and the veggie Benedict. Everyone loved each of their meals, We all thought the eggs were missing some salt but everything else in the dishes was on point. Felt the coffee was a little overpriced but you get unlimited refills Giving it 4 stars because of the wait otherwise it's a 5 for the food and vibe

    Weekday breakfast. It wasn't too busy since I came super early. And it's a weekday. The server was super nice and the atmosphere was calm since it wasn't tooo chaotic busy. Not much of a wait time. I do recommend this place. However it's normally mad busy on weekends and holidays.

    We were in the area and couldn't decide where to eat when we stumbled upon this place. It's situated within a residential area. We got there around 10:30 on a Saturday morning and waited under an hour. It was busy and the line was around the corner. This restaurant has two floors. It's a very narrow. We sat upstairs. We order the London Fog and Chai latte. Both were really good. We also tried the hot apple cider and it was a good choice for fall. My youngest ordered the breakfast sandwich with home fries, the oldest ordered The Club with home fries and my hubby and I both orders the Poached Egg BLT. The food was really good and we really enjoyed the fries. They were so good. The restaurant had a clean neutral palette which felt airy, fresh and inviting. Downstairs had a coffee bar with tables and a table for two by the window. The service was good. Our server was friendly. We would definitely come back and try out more dishes. They open from 830am to 3pm daily.

    Salmon Benny
    Mary L.

    Hands down my favourite brunch spot - they have the best eggs Benedict ever. The poached eggs are always perfectly golden and runny, and their hollandaise sauce is perfection. I love their house made habanero hot sauce - not too spicy but has a good kick and helps cut through the richness of the hollandaise sauce. My go to is the salmon Benny, but this time we also tried the braised beef Benny which was also very good but was quite meaty and a little too much after a couple of bites. Try to come here on a weekday if you want to avoid the long wait on the weekends

    Great brunch! Prices have gone up since one of the menu photos I saw on here so I took an updated picture. I got the B.A.B. Benny (bacon, avocado, brie) eggs benedict and wow they were generous with a hunk of brie. I thought the combination was great, and felt very full quickly bc of the amount of fat and portions. The home fries were also great with their ketchup. The wait to get seated took a long time bc of how popular this place is. I probably wouldn't come back again due to the wait but I think it's worth going for your first time if you get there early. I got there a little after 10am on a Sunday and waited nearly 45 mins to an hour to be seated for a table for 2.

    Came here for a wholesome breakfast with my friends Monday morning. We were seated immediately upstairs in their beautiful dining area. I was so excited to try their eggs benedict because my friend who loves eggs benedict said this place had his favourite - and that's say something. I got the salmon benny which came with two perfectly poached eggs with an orangey runny yolk on top of almost red house cured salmon with delicious hollandaise, home fries, and salad with a delicious dressing. It was so delicious and filling. The hype is real! I also shared the bread pudding with my friends and this was the first time I tried this dessert. We got the banana chocolate and it came out with a large loaf with some caramel? topping, fresh fruit, and other delicious sauces. Paired with maple syrup, this dessert was the cherry on top! For a drink, I got the honey ginger tea start my morning and it warmed my insides. It was a bit too sweet for my liking but I enjoyed it overall. Didn't catch our server's name but he was bubbly and very friendly. I would love to return again.

    Had an amazing brunch here. Ordered the Benny that was recommended by our server and it was perfect. The poached eggs were remarkable. Split open like butter, and the yolk was just the right amount of runny. I don't know how you have yours, but I like to mix it up a bit with each bite. Sometimes, I'll get some hash browns into a bite with yolk, sometimes a full bite with all the toppings, and so on. Coffee on the side or juice at breakfast somehow feels so awesome. It was a really pleasurable brunch. I enjoyed every bite.

Parking was a challenge, but there is a Green P that is about 5-8 minutes away that isn't too bad if the weather is good. The atmosphere is quite intimate and I did find myself bumping into other people / staff when going to and from the washroom, etc. The food was pretty good - the tacos were full of flavour and I got to try a variety by sharing with the group. I think my favourite was the beef barbacoa. The prices are definitely a bit up there for a Mexican restaurant, I believe the tacos were around $7 each. The quality made it worth it, but there's definitely other places in Toronto that serve up a great taco for nearly half the price. We also tried a couple of appetizers, including the nachos, guac and ceviche. The nachos were something special - it was a bit of a nacho pizza. I didn't expect that from Playa Cabana, given everything else was very authentic. The taste was good, but it was a bit of a challenge to share! The highlight of the night was definitely the desserts - we ordered the tres leches cake, and the churros. Definitely the best churro I've ever had.

We got lucky and they were able to squeeze us into seats at the bar area, which ended up being the best possible spot because we had a front-row view of the live fire cooking the entire night. The ambiance was lively and hip, with a great energy that made the whole experience feel exciting. This was my first time watching each main courses get cooked over live fire in real time, which added to our amazement given that all the dishes came out cooked to the right doneness. Every bite of meat and seafood was perfectly kissed with flame -- the char, the subtle smoke, the texture. Beyond the fire element, you can really taste how fresh everything is. Nothing felt heavy or muddled. Each dish was well thought out with balanced flavors, but the ingredients and that fire/smoke magic were always the main event. Service was also superb. All the staff were attentive and high-energy. Different servers checked up on us throughout the meal, our water was always kept full, and dishes were cleared in a timely manner. Only drawback: the heat. Sitting by the fire is incredible for the show, but it definitely started to feel like a sauna at times. Still, I'd do it again and choose to sit at the bar without hesitation. If you're in Toronto and you love a tasting menu, this is a must. Just make sure you book at least a month in advance - it's popular for a reason.

You enter the restaurant from a set of stairs outside and the restaurant doesn't look too appealing from outside. Also, the restaurant always seems busy and/or small, so it's always loud and service is slow. With the negatives out of the way, let me explain why I love La Carnita! The food is amazing! Their tacos are on point, and with so many to choose from I can go back multiple times can never get bored. Each of their tacos has something different to offer and each has relatively good balance to them. The balance of freshness and savory (and sometimes sweet) toppings is well done, making me come back for more. The one item that pushes La Carnita over the top is their nachos! Homemade nacho chips with gooey cheese and a generous amount of toppings makes them my favorite nachos in Toronto! One last observation is that the service is always friendly. They may be (very) slow at times but they seem like they always try their best and are always quite pleasant. Overall, I love La Carnita and when I get a craving for tacos and nachos, I'm heading straight here!

Because the packaging indicated it was the vegetarian item I ordered, I ate the food, only to realize too late that I had been given beef.

As a food establishment, accurate labelling and order verification are critical responsibilities, especially when customers trust your menu to align with their religious and dietary needs.I request that management investigates how this cross-contamination or mislabelling occurred to ensure it does not happen to anyone else. I expect a prompt response regarding how you plan to handle this error and prevent it from recurring. I am utterly surprised as I have been ordering and been there so frequently and it is one of my fav spots. I have no words. Sincerely, Dolly Chandriani
