Loved this place! I've always walked by this place but never really knew what it was so I ended up searching it on Google and read reviews they served amazing brunch. And amazing brunch they did serve! I ended up getting their waffle and eggs Benedict. The waffles tasted different than what I thought they would taste like. They were very light and had the texture of bread. When you dipped it into the maple syrup, it was quite nice. I also got the bottomless coffee. I'm usually not a fan of coffee from brunch places but trust me, this was one of the better ones. The service was quite quick and the interior was nice and cozy inside. We got a table right away.
I've always seen huge queues outside le petit dej, and wondered what all the fuss was. But I totally get it. Luckily we got a good day and managed to get one of the last two tables, but I would definitely be prepared to queue up here. But it's worth it for sure. I love the interior. Dimly lit and cramped but so quaint and unique. It definitely sets you into one of the busy cafes of Belgium amongst the roaring streets of Toronto. Opted for a waffle after hearing how good they are, with a eggs benny. The egg was great and salmon was fresh, served with an apple slaw it just made it. Every flavour was different but went together. But the star of the show was the waffle. The flavour was so unique, I never had anything like it. Not sweet at all and a little like bread, but so soft and melt in the mouth. Paired with the syrup it made for a perfect breakfast that definitely doesn't feel like you need to wean off sugar for the rest of the day! Coffee kept coming and definitely some of the better stuff compared to other brunch places. Bottomless is best! So good!
Finally happened! Many a time I'd drive by on a weekend and see a massive line up. Toronto is notorious for line ups, especially when it may well be worth it. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case here. I give it a 3.5. The food gave me mixed opinions. The claim to fame is the Belgian waffles swapped out for your traditional English muffin for the Eggs Benny and we tried both the Melody and the actual poached egg. I liked the apple slaw - crisp and fresh. However, the waffles were a bit of a bummer. Not sure because they were cold but they didn't taste like they were made in-house, or anything special. It wasn't too busy this Sunday but they may not have had enough help. The wait staff were overwhelmed and it showed. I'd come to Petit Dejeuner only for something convenient, but sometimes the line up is anything but.
PDC is a very cozy café located beside George Brown College. The lady who took our order was so nice and friendly. We ordered "Benjamin Waffles", "The Hungry Gal", "Toast Champignon with a Poached Egg" for brunch. And B52 Coffee, Latte and Mimosa. Everything was very delicious, specially the waffles. It was crispy and moisty inside.
Was looking for a simple brunch on a rainy gloomy day. Found this spot and got the salmon eggs benny. Unfortunately was quite disappointed. The hollandaise sauce was too sour and the salmon tasted old. The potatoes were not crispy at all and the portion was very small. The apple slaw was ok. I do say the service was great. The waiter was attentive and refilled our coffees many times.
A nice little cozy home feel restaurant. The food is just about as classic as you can get without being too influenced by modernity. As for the drink, it's as you expect in terms of the flavour profile - not overly sweet either which is a plus. Attentive servers make this place a spot where you can flag people down if you require any additional things.
Time: Visited for brunch on a Thursday morning and we were seated without any issues. There were a decent amount of people there for a weekday morning and although there was just one server, it didn't feel too busy. Menu & food: A good mix of dishes and choices - it made it hard to choose for sure! I got the croque madame ( with a sunny side up egg rather than a cheesy outside ) and then shared the strawberry waffles. Both dishes were really delicious and I would order either again since they were filling and tasted amazing. Price wise, I would say they both were a little more than I'd rather pay for the quality and quantity, but once in a while I felt it'd be a fair meal. Service: Great all around, friendly staff and the food came out pretty quickly. Props to the one person working the entire time!
- Bar-like intimate brunch place ($20-30 per person) - Great smoked salmon omelette! Feels healthy - Can ask for multiple mixes for juice (I got a grapefruit orange passion fruit juice) - Croque Madame is tasty with ham, cheese and egg - Come during lunch on weekdays to avoid the crowds, good service
I visited Le Petit in Toronto after looking for a place to eat breakfast while waiting on my train at central station. It was a nice little Belgian bistro with a simplistic breakfast menu. I was in a rush and the service was quick and swift. I ordered a waffle with eggs Florentine. The spinach was fresh and the waffle was light with a mild buttery rich flavor. As expected, a nice maple syrup accompanied the waffle. The apple slaw that came with it was different, but likable. They kind of knew that my time was limited and the bill was brought and taken care of promptly. It was a pleasant atmosphere and experience.
We ordered Belgian waffles with salmon and classic breakfast crepe. Both are very tasty. For drinks, we ordered cappuccino and grapefruit juice. Coffee is just so so, it's like machine made coffee. Grapefruit juice is not fresh squeezed. The service is ok. It is a cozy restaurant and it's getting crowded at 9 am in the morning.
My friend and I were looking for a different breakfast place. We were tired of the same chains. It's a small and cozy place with attentive waiters/waitresses. We were very surprised how good the food is. We had eggs benedict and waffles and it was delicious. We appreciated the flavors and it seems as if everything is made to order (the chef literally cuts everything once the order comes in) which means you wait a little for your food but it's so worth it. Prices are okay but that is subjective. We will definitely go back.

After many recommendations, finally came by around 3PM on a Saturday. It's usually busy during brunch with huge lineup outside, but with their new extended hours, it was quiet with no wait. Had the Bloody Marys, which were great! They were balanced and well-made. Ordered the French toast and the Waffles Melody with peameal bacon. Food came out fast and fresh. Waffle was light and crisp, bacon and eggs were cooked just right. The apple slaw was a nice surprise, fresh and tangy with a light mayonnaise dressing. The french toast was rich and filling. Service was friendly. The space is casual, pub-like, with interesting decor. Would come again for a relaxed late brunch, and highly recommend the waffles read more
"This whole restaurant is a moment in time" said my boyfriend about this place. Loved the cozy comfy bar vibes and the sparkly green diner bench and chairs. The staff was super friendly and the waffles were so light and crispy! The food itself was really good, I dont think I've ever had apple in my salad and it was pretty yummy. As well, the sandwich was crispy and tasty. Great brunch spot! read more

I ordered the Waffle Benjamin - a combination of an ultra-light and crispy Belgian waffle and an eggs Benedict with smoked salmon, with a tangy apple slaw on the side. All the components hit the mark for me, but a friend grumbled at the portion size - and it's true, the Belgian waffle was much lighter than the potatoes that would customarily occupy that section of the brunch plate. read more

I am an Egg's Benedict fiend and Petit Déjeuner have cracked a quarter million eggs. I ordered the traditional eggs benedict and it was truly fantastic. The hollandaise was rich and just right. The peameal bacon was thick with the right amount of saltiness. The waffles were baked well and had the right amount of sweetness. There was a long lineup out the door which indicates that this place is great. Once you're through the door, service was friendly and quick. The only downside is that the food took a while to come. Overall, this place is definitely a bucket list must have, if you enjoy the good ol' Bene. read more
I had tried two times previously to grab brunch here so I guess I had high expectations going in after hearing great reviews. Both times the lines were way too long. Went earlier at 10:30 on a Saturday to avoid the line outside but wasn't honestly blown away by the food or service. They didn't have gluten free bread to substitute for the eggs benny. Also I asked to substitute the potato rosti for salad or fruit and they were unwilling to do so which I found odd. read more
Our routine Saturday brunch exploration took us to Le petit-déjeuner, meaning "breakfast". We arrived technically around lunch time, when there was already a long line. 30 minutes wait and we were let in- lucky to be seated in the window sofa seat, arguably the best seat in the store! Ordered two iconic waffle sets: one with smoked salmon and porched egg and the other with bacon and scrabbled egg. I would personally vote for the Apple slice dipped with maple sauce and hollandais. Great food and nice service. Only downside: you tend to feel a bit rushed to dine here because of the long line outside and the relatively crowded space. read more

Fantastic ambiance. Best waffles ever, crisp and airy, served either sweet or savory. They have ruined waffles for me anywhere else and sadly, I dont live in Toronto read more
This was a really nice breakfast spot but be prepared to wait outside to get a table! I think we waited about 45 minutes outside. The service and food were awesome. I'm really glad we got to try this cute little spot while we were in town! read more

This place is a rare gem! But understand it is a very small place so a wait is likely. But once your in and sitting they take great care of you. The people are wonderful and want the best for us. Get the bennies with the peameal bacon they are great! And the waffles are the best I've ever had. If this place was near us we'd eat there at least once or twice a week! Great job, keep it up LPD. read more
We have been meaning to try this place for such a long time but I always see the long lineups on the weekend and then we backed out. So when an opportunity came to try this place on a weekday we didn't hesitated to go there. We came before 10 am on a WEEKDAY and THERE. WAS. NO. LINEUP. Once we were inside the restaurant, you can tell the place is already busy. We were seated immediately by the hostess and given the menu. This is where the waiting game starts. Since we only saw 2 people working both as a server and barista, we have to wait for 20 minutes before our order was taken. Another 15 minutes before the food came. So word of advice - don't come here if you're starving and expecting a fast service. But through it all, the servers were very nice and pleasant. And the food - OMG they were so delicious! Whenever I go to any breakfast place, I always try the Eggs Benny. This is somewhat my test to see if a restaurant is a FAIL or SUCCESS. And I must tell you that the Eggs Benedict here is one of the best! Perfect poached eggs with creamy hollandaise sauce, a WINNER! And since we also want to try their Waffles, I ordered their Waffle Benny which is Eggs Benedict without the English Muffin and 2 Authentic Belgian Waffles plus a choice of Peameal Bacon or Bacon Strips. The Belgian Waffles is so light, airy and fluffy - sooo good. It also comes with an apple slaw which is also delish. My SO ordered the Eggy Fried Bread which is Caramelized French Toast and he raves about it and since he's picky this is a huge compliment! We also got a side order of Potato Rosti that everyone liked and were wolfed down in seconds. Final Verdict - I should have tried this place long time ago regardless of the lineups coz it's really worth it! Don't let the lineups deter you from trying this place, if you want good food then you will surely like it! read more
This little restaurant on king east gets 3 stars although I'd like to give them 2 stars, however it seemed that they were really trying. I was really craving an eggs benny and something sweet so I got both. An eggs benny with crispy bacon, potatoes and apple slaw and their French toast. I'm not sure which dish was the bigger disappointment. The French toast was crispy but the toast was so thin, it had no substance to it. The eggs benny was probably one of the worst I've ever had. The bacon was super crispy just as I had ordered, however with an eggs benny it's all about the hollandaise sauce and this was such a weird hollandaise sauce. First off, it was SOOOO buttery but not in a pleasant way, there was a rich heavy smell coming off of it. The consistency was so thick, it almost resembled a custard. My thoughts are it was sitting there premade and they didn't keep it over a double boiler so it just got really thick. I wasn't a fan at all. I managed to finish half the portion but I really didn't want to. Honestly, I'll never be back. Service was pretty good but the food wasn't. Keep Eating, Angela read more

I ordered the croque monsieur with an added egg on top, it came with a very small side of home fries and a simple apple coleslaw. It was very tasty but the meal didn't feel complete, all the items were very separated and quick. The person I was with ordered the waffles Veronique style, these came with a waffle, a poached egg with grilled red peppers and a side of apple coleslaw, this one in particular felt very separate. The decor is old French style with some retro aspects. It was a quite dark and not my idea for a brunch spot read more

We came here for breakfast this morning to recover from a bit of jet lag after returning from England yesterday, and were very pleasantly surprised by Le Petit Déjeuner. We arrived just after opening, and everything about our experience was absolutely perfect! The music selection was soothing and ideal for the setting, and was at a very comfortable level for conversation. The atmosphere was quiet and relaxing, with some very eclectic UK stylings. Service was friendly and prompt, and our food was quickly in front of us. I had the Brussels' Melody, and my wife had the Hungry Gal. I have never had a better Belgian waffle, even in Brussels! It was light and airy, with a perfect crispy texture. It was delicious with maple syrup served on the side. Compliments to the chef! We found the prices to be very reasonable for the quality and proportions offered. And after exploring their menu, we were delighted to see that they do a UK style Sunday roast dinner too! We're already looking forward to coming back to try this and other menu selections. What a great find! A real gem. read more
I have marked all the places that serve Delirium Tremens and intend to try them one by one. Finally had a chance to try one on my list. This was an easy pick considering the positive feedback it has here on Yelp. My friend and I showed up at 7 and the place was almost empty. After ordering our Delirium Beers we went through the dinner menu which surprisingly is not viewable online. My friend settled on the fish and chips and I went for the seafood crepe. I guess I was expecting a more French menu as the sauce for my crepe was asian inspired. Not bad and considering the price we paid I think it was good deal. Will visit again for sure (3 Star for the food and adding 1 star for the beer :) ) They have all you can eat mussels on Tuesdays and Wednesdays BTW will give it a try if I get a chance. read more

Upon recommendation from a cousin, I decided to head here for brunch with a couple of friends before heading to our event for the day. We initially passed by looking for parking and there was maybe one couple waiting in line but by the time we parked and walked to the restaurant, there were about 3 groups waiting. I was surprised and figured it must be good since the line started to suddenly (it was about 11:45am at this point). A staff member promptly told everyone in line it would be about a 40 minute wait. Some people left, we stayed and he was quite accurate with the wait-time. First impressions, the restaurant is small and cozy with tables closely lining the walls and each other. Nothing unusual when it comes to these boutiquey brunch places. My friends and I were drooling as we stared at all the dishes being served to the tables around us. We were attended to right away, we ordered and food came out fairly quick (which was good since we had a timeline for our next event). Claiming to have the best waffles in town, we knew had to try them but we wanted to try other dishes too so we each got our own meals with a waffle order to share. When I go to brunch, I always try to order a dish that I can't make at home and in this case it was the eggs benedict with peameal bacon, and a hot chocolate with whipped cream to warm me up from the wait outside. I have to say, the eggs bene was so buttery and so so tasty. Everything was cooked to perfection and my friend and I inhaled our meals so quickly, it was a surprise we didn't choke. I like the style of shredded potato that they served but it lacked a bit of flavour. I felt like it needed some onions or something to give it some flavour but overall it was cooked well and added the crispy texture I wanted. I enjoyed the apple slaw it came with as well as it balanced the super rich and butteriness of the eggs benedict. The hot chocolate was standard and could possibly have been a powder mixture but the Chantilly whipped cream on top boosted its value. Now onto the waffles, they were thick but so so light and fluffy. It definitely had a unique flavour that I couldn't put my finger on but it was a good flavour. Topped with the organic maple syrup, I was in heaven. Quite possibly one of the best waffles I've had before. Overall I enjoyed my experience at Le Petit Dejeuner. The service was excellent, the staff was friendly and the food was finger licking good. I'd read more

Be aware of false advertisement on the menu. They have $6 freshly squeezed juice which was just poured from a stored bought juice. Ordered waffle and omelet. Wasn't impressed with the food. We also ordered Cappuccino and the foam wasn't even mixed into the coffee. Very badly made. read more

Worth the wait. Came here with two friends on a Rememberance day Sunday at 11:00am. Waited about 40 minutes to get in. Small space, very comfortable and clean. Eclectic decorations. Super cute and trendy. I got the Sakura tea (with cherries and rose petals) and a mint baileys hot chocolate. Both delicious. My friends got coffee, a lemonade and hot apple cider. All amazing. For brunch I got the waffle benny. The waffle was deep pocketed and crunchy - not dense at all. The egg benny was okay. I would suggest they change their hollandaise personally as I found it too creamy and bland (but I prefer a lemony tangy hollandaise and not a bearnaise). The apple slaw was interesting. My one friend got the same as I did but with smoked salmon. The other got the eggy bread with a side of potato rosti. This is her favorite brunch place and she said it was up to par with her usual experience. Of special note was our waiter. He was amazing. Super sweet, very enthusiastic and knew his stuff. A bit far for a scaborough lady to go for lunch, but I will probably be back. read more
