The café itself is beautifully decorated with green benches, pink chairs, and flowers on the walls. A big plus - not only felt the cafe very inviting, it was was also very clean. Our coffee and food were both amazing and absolutely delicious! It is on the pricier side, so it is definitely not a cheap breakfast, but it was absolutely worth it. Evviva is a must-visit when you are in Toronto and in the area. We would definitely come back!

We visited Eggspectation for a weekend brunch and both the patio and inside dining area were…read morepacked. The atmosphere was lively and everyone seemed to enjoy their time. The menu is huge, with everything from Eggs Benedict and omelettes to French toast, pancakes, waffles, crêpes, and plenty of lunch options. We ordered "Uneggspected", "Eggstravaganza with Lemon Ricotta & Blueberry Compote", "Prime Rib Benedict", and "Waffle Tiramisu". It was a great mix of sweet and savoury dishes, and the portions were generous. The Prime Rib Benedict was especially rich, with prime rib, poached eggs, Swiss cheese, horseradish aioli and hollandaise. The Lemon Ricotta & Blueberry Compote added a nice sweet touch to the Eggstravaganza and Waffle Tiramisu was a great choice to finish our brunch on a sweet note. We also had a Cappuccino and Irish Coffee, which paired nicely with the meal. The staff are very friendly and attentive; adding to the great experience.

This continues the 2025 alphabet series, C is for Cafe Landwer. On Tuesday, 6/3/25, we went to St. Lawrence Market; see my B is for Buster Sea Cove. Seems like we happened to go alphabetical for lunch/brunch as the next day Wed., 6/4/25. This place had good reviews. So, we got on TTC to Osgoode station and was a very close walk. It said established in 1919, so we thought it's a good sign it's been in business over a century; although not this location specifically. Their history in the 20th century was that they started in Berlin, Germany in 1919, but they were a Jewish family who ended up immgrating to Israel in 1933, opening their store there, and expanded locations throughout Israel. Their history in Toronto & North America (including some in the US) is much more recent since opening in 2017. Unfortunately, my closest is New York City; none in Maryland or DC area. This location is in busy downtown Toronto. We sat outside on their big patio area as the weather was warm and could enjoy the view of the buildings, people, cars, etc. Server was friendly answering our questions. I ended up getting an egg benedict with salmon in a croissant. It was creative and delicious take on egg benedict. The only issue was it was messy to eat in the croissant, but I didn't care as it was so delicious. My girlfriend got a Belgian waffle with blueberries, whipped cream, etc. It was unique and very good & sweet too as I tried a bite. Overall, this was a 5-star experience with great food, service, & atmosphere.

From the hostess to the waitstaff. All very polite and welcoming. We observed them with other guests and they seemed very patient with the loud kids...and adults to be fair. LOL We had the big skillet both days as well as the breakfast sandwich. While there were some variances, we enjoyed both experiences. The first visit was better in my opinion - the potatoes were tender and not overcooked and my fruit cup didn't have a lot of cantaloupe. I have shared pictures of the menu as well. We had sparkling water and diet cola both times. Our beverages never ran dry. There is an upstairs that overlooks the first floor dining area. We wondered if anyone had ever spilled a beverage that landed on guests below. We could definitely see the possibility of that happening. They also had a nice patio, however, on the hotter days, not sure how enjoyable the city smell would be while trying to eat. Interesting - they only had one bathroom. So we observed a line. And there are tables right next to the door. I would avoid those seats if possible. A little too close to the restroom in my opinion. If we are in the area again, we would definitely eat here again, although they may be at the new location if we visit in the future. I look forward to seeing the upgraded features at the new location.

Veda's Choice The…read morecroissant and poached egg sandwich was flawless. I honestly didn't expect it to be this good. The poached egg was incredibly delicate, and the moment I picked up the sandwich and took a bite, the runny yolk spilled right out. The Béarnaise sauce worked beautifully with it too. My favorite way to eat it was almost like sukiyaki, dipping pieces of the croissant into the runny yolk before each bite. Absolutely delicious. Buttermilk Pancake Now this is what a fluffy pancake should be. The pancakes were wonderfully soft and airy, stacked three layers high with tiny blueberries scattered around like little sapphires. The blueberry compote added a nice touch of acidity without making everything overly sweet. The maple syrup definitely brings quite a bit of sweetness, so the unsweetened whipped cream was a great addition. My favorite combination was a little whipped cream, a little syrup, and some blueberry compote all in one bite. Three pancakes are quite a lot for one person, though. I was definitely struggling a little toward the end. Turmeric Latte Pretty much exactly what the name suggests: ginger, turmeric, and black pepper under a thick layer of milk foam. Put them together and you can almost taste the beginnings of an Indian curry. I found the flavor itself a little uneventful, but a warm latte was still very comforting on a cold day.

Reign is the steakhouse inside the Fairmont Hotel on Front St. As expected, it's a nicely designed…read morerestaurant that is perfect for a date night or business dinner. My wife and I were visiting from out of town and were drawn by their menu that included raw fish preparations, such as hamachi crudo, oysters, and other fresh preparations. John was our waiter. He was professional and personable...but pretty French Canadian, so he could loosen up a little (as I'm writing I'm smiling because he is a terrific guy, just stiff). First we ordered a bottle of wine. We were surprised to see a large selection of great California wines, based upon the current tariffs and resulting political fallout (understandably so). However, the Napa Valley Cabernet was a welcomed benefit to our meal. We started with the hamachi crudo (4/5). I asked John if he had chopsticks. After a long pause, he indicated that they may, but his support staff would have to hunt to find them. Sure enough, 3 minutes later, his support staff came hustling in with 2 pairs of chopsticks. Right then, I knew we were going to have a memorable meal at Reign with John and his team. For our main courses, we both ordered steaks and added foie gras. I ordered the strip loin (5/5) and my wife the petit filet (5/5). Both steaks were cooked perfectly. The foie was scored and seered...it was heaven in a few bites. We can't find foie in California, so this was a treat. The shared side order of pommes frites (5/5) were freshly cut, crispy, and seasoned well. For dessert, we share the blueberry cheesecake (4/5). It was a solid finish to a great meal. Reign had great food, service, and a wine list which differentiates itself from other downtown steakhouses. I highly recommend Reign. Ask for John to be your server and encourage him to loosen up...you'll have a great experience...I promise.
