For a brunch spot, Mia delivers…read more What can I say? In many ways, it's your typical quaint brunch spot...eggs bennies, avo toast, caesars, mimosas and what nots. What I like is the following: you can actually make a res (although only 2+ weeks in advance and through IG); the back patio, with a large tree as its centrpiece, is awesome; and the food itself is very good! Those side potatoes are much better than your average brunch place, in my opinion. And I really enjoyed my benny (I subbed peameal for crispy strip bacon) and my Caesar, itself served with a strip of bacon. Overall, does Mia have the wow factor of certain notable downtown brunch spots? Not exactly. But it's solid for sure!!

I have gone there twice for brunch in the last 20 days. Both time on Saturdays. That first time, I…read morewalked in early around 9.45 am. It was busy and too cold to sit in the patio. The server was very sweet and found me a table. I had the Lemon Ricotta & Pear French Toast. I wholeheartedly recommend this one. Next time, I walked in again around 2 pm on a Saturday. Sat at the Bar and had to wait one hour for the Crunchy French Toast. I liked it but not as much as the other one. The crunchiness is awesome but very heavily doused in whipped cream. Book ahead for the weekends.... it's a weekend haunt. Service is friendly. Next time, I wanna sit in the backyard patio and have pancakes.

Was tasty and everything is fresh and hot. Good selection of coffees and teas along with other drinks. Wish I had gotten a scone. Place is very small and probably sits about not more than 15 people. Loved it!

Wonderful local resto on Gerrard west of Woodbine…read more The food is wonderful. We tried it out for brunch last Sunday. Lots of options including some creative options and a lot of Benedict's. They also make a lot of baked goods to take away (cookies, scones and beignets). The roasted potatoes with the brunch offerings were sooo good. One of the best I've had. You can reserve online during the week but on the weekend it's waitlist only. Just keep in mind. It's a rather small establishment maybe about eight tables. Having said that well worth the visit so do check it out sometime. Parking is on the street nearby or you can get there on the TTC via street car.

Got the smoked salmon Eggs Benedict served on a warm housemade cheddar biscuit with brown butter hollandaise. The plate was massive, deeply satisfying, and paired with house-style seasoned homefries.

The roasted eggplant with pomegranate was fresh and tasty and a great alternative to heavier fare. The crab cakes were perfectly done with a crispy outside and soft but meaty inside.

This is an elevated North American tavern. The building was built in 1910 with a wood-dominated…read morevibe. It has since been renovated by the new owners, making it elegant, but keeping the same vibe. The restaurant serves pork chops, steaks, fish, and elevated comfort food. It can seat 130 diners. There is a wood fire grill in the open kitchen; yes i saw them stoking the fire with wood pieces. There is a large selection of signature cocktails, wines, and beers. The menu changes seasonally. Most of the mains are served solo; ie, not garnished. You would have to order shareable sides. The Pork Chop was recommended by the server as the most garnished, do I ordered that. We came there on 2025-06-19 to celebrate my Birthday Dinner. The food was amazing and worth returning to try more of the menu. They do have a kids menu too. We ordered the following: 1. Lychee Grapefruit Highball ($15). Soju, soho lychee, soda, grapefruit, Thai basil, NICE ice. 2. Macaroni & Cheese ($22). With aged cheddar. From kids menu. 3. French Fries ($10). Garlic mayonnaise. 4. Shrimp Toast ($22). BC side stripe shrimp, sesame, apple sweet & sour sauce. 5. Lasagna ($30). Beef bolognese, risotta bechemel, basil. 6. Pasture Raised Pork Chop ($34). 12 ounces, sherry, capers & mustard. 7. Crispy Brussel Sprouts ($12),. Sweet chili, sesame seeds. 8. Sticky Toffee Pudding with Ice Cream ($14). All the food was excellent, and worth the price. The NICE Ice is shipped in from a company that makes perfectly translucent ice. They boil it to be free of impurities, then put the boiled water into a mold to freeze. The Shrimp Toast was crunchy on the outside and the apple sweet & sour sauce was excellent. The Lasagna was great. Even my son loved it. The Pork Chop was perfectly cooked. There might have been 10% fat pieces and the charred bits were divine. The combination sherry and capers was a great idea. The Brussel Sprouts were not too bitter, and tasted great with the sweet chili sauce; it wasn't spicy. The Sticky Toffee Pudding was so moist. The amount toffee sauce was just right, and the vanilla ice cream was the perfect accompaniment. There is music playing in the background. There is a small private dining room downstairs. There is free WiFi. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible, but there is no door-open button. There are two male and two female and one gender-neutral family washroom, all downstairs, so they are not wheelchair accessible. There is paid and free neighbourhood street parking. There are three high chairs for little children. Review 2025-114

And we're off to the (not overly hectic) races! Our waiter raves about the coconut ebi mayo ($23), a dish that's been a staple on their menu and he claims is a favourite amongst patrons. For me, it's too soft, the batter lacking crunch and coconut textures. If anything, it's simply fried shrimp with a couple of sweet sauces for flavour. Not much coconut and no definitely mayonnaise. Perhaps the dish just needs to be renamed to "tropical fried ebi" for clarity. We did enjoy the chicken cobb salad ($22), a hearty dish that's more of a "bowl" than "salad". With only a scant amount of salad mix, the dish combined fresh avocado, torched corn, tomato, and of course a generous fillet of crispy fried chicken. I loved it for a lightish but hearty dinner and would push for this to be a staple if it isn't already.

Not much yuzu flavor or creme brulee crackle Avocado Eggs Benny- 4/5 Nice change to have it on pound cake than typical English muffin. The hollandaise sauce didnt have much miso flavour though Nice crisp on the potatoes but not really hot Matcha latte- nice strong matcha and not very sweet Service was great! Our server kept checking on us and made us our waters were always filled. They did remind us that there is a 2hr seating time as well. Parking is on the street but there are a few lots nearby. Pretty easy to find spots even on weekend! Overall worth a try!

This is a wine bar - the house lager was bad (maybe my own bad decision) and the red I got was fine ... nothing to write home about. However place fell apart with the food - the shrimp came with 5 medium sized shrimp with the tails, legs and shells on and were under seasoned. The artichokes were mediocre (loved the sauce they came with). Worst of all was the "Ontario peaches" with the burrata were totally canned peaches - could've even been dole brand! This place has amazing potential with the location and vibe - but the food just was not it. Small portions and the price didn't match what was served. The service was friendly but nothing too crazy. Go here for the drinks, but maybe not for the dinner!

This must be the place!…read more Our first trip to Toronto and boy did we have fun. From delicious food to sipping wine, and everything in between, Toronto was a city to explore. Ladybug Wine Bar is a cute but also sophisticated wine bar located on King Street, steps away from shopping and restaurants. We stopped in here on a snowy Sunday before our flight home. They also serve Sunday Brunch. We grabbed a few open seats at the comfy bar. They do not offer wine flights, which made this experience pretty darn expensive but SOOOO worth it. We had such a fun time and the people working were so nice, we honeslty did not want to leave. They were willing to help with our selections. We actually ordered all their Reds by the glass. I know, but there were only about 6 and we had to try them all. I like to say "go big or go home" LOL! We loved almost all except for maybe a few. We ended up also ordering a charcuterie while we sip. And of course I brought a bottle home with me. If you are ever in Toronto, please check out Ladybug wine bar, it is fantastic, you won't want to leave. Cheers!

A Hidden Gem for Brunch!!…read more I came here with 3 of my girlies that love brunch. Everything we ordered was fresh, light, and absolutely delicious.
