“After much anticipation I finally got a chance to try Spice Nosh, they have both indoor and outdoor seating (patio) available. Inside was smaller, so more intimate seating.

The menu consist of south asian staples with western cuisine. This is what intrigued me to come try this place.

I got the Beef Parotta Eggs Benny, this had kick to it, the beef was flavourful. I would say the potatoes were a bit dry. I enjoyed this.

Beyond Butter Chicken Burger, the chicken looked very much real, down to the texture but it is indeed vegetarian. This was tasty too.

Dirty chai was a bland of tea and coffee, it was great.

The service was quick. I definitely want to try the sweet portion of the menu next.“

“Very good cafe bake shop I highly recommended“

“The owner/chef used to be the head chef at a fine Italian restaurant so all the dishes are good and some are exceptional - like most of the soups from the soup of the day and the breakfast dishes.“

“Waking up in Toronto for the first time, all you want is a good, home cooked no-frills breakfast. What seems like a quick Google search turns into a full on hunt with how many options were along Dundas.

Each with their own overwhelming “vibe,” when all you wanted is something simple, warm and welcoming. Unfortunately, hard to find in a city like this.

But thankfully for us, we hit the jackpot with New Sunrise Grill!

Easy, simple, kind, attentive and the warm and welcoming hospitality that makes it your go-to breakfast spot during your stay, even if it’s only for 3 days.

Especially when you receive service from someone like Ms. Carol. A kind and sweet soul from the get-go, I’d have many more meals here if I lived in the area.

At the end of the day, who cares about all that branding if you don’t have personality or hospitality?“

“Never thought to pay a visit here but was looking for a local greasy spoon to support - came here for breakfast and noticed that a lot of line men and construction crew come here so you know you’re in for some good value and decent food. I was shocked to know that I was able to order wings so early in the morning but decided to be that person and try something new while sharing a breakfast platter. Food was fresh, made to order and service was fast and friendly. Happy to know that they are open on the weekends so there’s more opportunities for me to swing on by to support a small local business“

“Delicious food and warm friendly atmosphere. Great service by Susan!“

“One my fav price is rite and. Best potatoes ever“

“Felt like home! The vegetarian thali was fantastic and the rotis were so soft and delicious. The double ka meetha was an amazing way to end the meal. Absolute treat and a must try place on the west end! Catherine’s service was warm and friendly. Will be back!“

“Great food, great drinks, great prices, and great service. Will definitely be going back next time I'm in Toronto!“

“very good attention. and good prices“

“I had my first visit yesterday at Donlands Diner in East York for brunch and it was honestly such an amazing experience. The food was absolutely delicious. I ordered the grilled cheese with tomato and bacon with fries, and my partner ordered a BLT with fries. Everything came out fast, fresh, and tasted incredible.
The waitress Tina was such an amazing hostess — so kind, friendly, and welcoming. She made us feel like family from the moment we walked in and talked to us like we had known each other for years. The whole experience felt so warm and genuine.
The diner has such a beautiful vibe with 50s and 60s themed music playing, which made the atmosphere even more special. Service was seamless from start to finish and we left super happy. Definitely one of the best brunch experiences I’ve had and I’ll absolutely be coming back!“

“From the atmosphere to the staff it was a lovely brunch! I would definitely recommend and will be back!“

“I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Hadrian, the manager of OEB Breakfast Toronto, since the restaurant opened in March 2022. He’s an exceptionally down-to-earth and kind individual who goes above and beyond to ensure every customer has a great experience. Over the years, I’ve witnessed him handle even the most difficult situations with professionalism and grace. Hadrian’s photographic memory is remarkable—he never forgets a customer! Beyond the restaurant, his generosity shines in our Liberty Village community. Whenever there’s a community event, he supports us with gift cards, which is always appreciated. Under his leadership, the OEB Breakfast team is friendly, the service is impeccable, and the menu keeps getting better and more creative. The community loves what Hadrian and his team bring to Liberty Village, and we hope to continue supporting OEB Breakfast in return. Thank you, Hadrian, for everything you do!“

“My boyfriend really wanted to try this place so we headed over and had a great time.

It was about noon when we arrived, and it was pretty empty inside. Since we were the only ones, service was quick. They were pretty friendly too.

I ordered the special which was the BBQ Chicken Sandwich, and my boyfriend got the Sausage, Egg and Cheese breakfast sandwich. We both chose the buttermilk biscuits for our sandwiches. And even though we chose our own biscuits, we were surprised to see that the biscuit size was huge and complimentary to our sandwich contents. We're just used to tiny biscuits lol.

Anyways I loved my sandwich and my boyfriend enjoyed his. The chicken was good. I'm all about good sauce, so I loved the BBQ sauce. The sauce really tied all the ingredients together. This sandwich had all my favorite things in it: chicken, tasty sauce, pickles, and coleslaw. So it's no surprise that I loved it. There was a good amount of pickles in here too. This was really flavorful, and I enjoyed each bite.

I also threw in a hashbrown last minute, and it was great. It was crispy, crunchy, and had a great golden brown color. Overall, just a solid hashbrown. We loved it.

It was a little small inside and we didn't have much space to put our heavy coats, but that wasn't much of a problem. For a breakfast sandwich, it's a little pricey but in proportion to the quality of the sandwich and how large it is, I'd say it's reasonable.

We had such an amazing experience, food was wonderful and we definitely won't forget this place. Without a doubt we'd come back again.“

“Special thanks for your services, I go to this store since 2017, everyone is doing well, Special thanks to Tamar, she is an old lady who has always great welcoming and friendly attitude, everything is organized and clean, l recommend this warm and nice location.“

“I had a great experience at Mr Nick’s Grill! The Greek omelette was the best—perfectly cooked, flavorful, and packed with fresh ingredients. The feta, veggies, and seasoning were perfectly balanced, and the portion size was generous.

The service was excellent as well. The staff were very friendly, attentive, and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. Even the kitchen staff were friendly and smiling, which made me feel really welcome and comfortable. The cozy atmosphere and warm hospitality make this a place I’ll definitely be coming back to. Highly recommend! 😊“

“Pera Restaurant was very busy and full when we visited, which already said a lot about its popularity. The food was fresh, well-presented, and full of authentic Turkish flavors. The avocado toast with egg was perfectly balanced, the sides were hearty and satisfying, and everything felt thoughtfully prepared. Great atmosphere, lively energy, and definitely worth the wait. A lovely spot for brunch or a relaxed meal.“

“I had been craving breakfast there, since it Re-opened and my son brought me take out from them a few weeks. ago., variety of fruits Presentation is beautiful and Very generous portions. My stomach is too small for the portions. I probably would've finished it all if it was in Childs' portion.“

“Breakfast is the important meal of the day and we like to eat our brekky here at Sunset Grill because, they have delicious breakfast menu, very filling and the staff are friendly. 😊👍“

“Always wonderful food and service!“

“Both times I have been to this location. The food and serice have been great.“

“Visited while in the Greenwood-Coxwell area and due to their recent collaboration with another popular sandwich spot in the city. While they have a café facing Gerrard St., they also have a patio that is located in the laneway behind their café which is also a fairly comfortable space. They are best known for their breakfast and brunch items, especially their buttermilk biscuits and breakfast sandwiches, all being based on locally-sourced ingredients. Their buttermilk biscuits are also available for order on their own, which can be provided fully baked or frozen (for bake-at-home). Other items include their buttermlik pancakes and other homestyle/classic items such as macaroni and cheese, fried chicken thighs and salads. They also offer smaller size portions for kids or for those looking for a lighter version of their popular dishes, such as a mini version of their macaroni and cheese and pancake (one pancake).

Their collaboration with Bear Steak Sandwiches was the Lazy Bear, which came with a sunny side up egg, medium-rare flank steak, white gravy, pickled red onion and jalapenos under one of their homestyle biscuits. While it was a bit messy, the sandwich itself had a great mix of flavours with the steak, gravy and a slight kick with the pepper alongside the biscuit, all blending together well.

Service was also friendly in checking in during the meal, as well as being accommodating in case I needed an item or wanted to move to a shaded area on their patio. Overall, would recommend as another good breakfast/brunch spot in the east end of the city, particularly in the area.“

“Having to wait for my vehicle to be repaired at Canadian Tire, I asked for a place to eat and was told “there is a breakfast place” across the parking lot. WHAT A WONDERFUL DISCOVERY! Service was excellent, food plentiful and delicious! And also - washroom very clean!! This will be my go to place, when in town again to visit my 95yr mother! Thank you! Can I also say, I felt like I was talking with Annie Lenox?…..“

“Our go-to spot for breakfast after a night out in Toronto. Cozy vintage vibes, perfect hollandaise, delicious apple slaw, and the best waffles we’ve ever had! This morning we also got to try the pancakes & sausages with our go-to orders — no surprise, they were absolutely delicious. Already looking forward to our next visit 💛“

“Great service, wide breakfast/branch food selection and everything is delicious“

“The Service was great but I will never order the pancakes from them again, I was undercooked and dorothy on the inside. I told our waitress and they brought me a new one and It's same thing, either they don't communicate with the kitchen or the people who cook the pancakes just don't care. Eventhough the waitress has rectify the issue and asked me if I want to order something else but everyone already finished eating so end up didn't get to eat.“

“Super friendly team, relaxed atmosphere and super super fast service“

“Nice spot on the Danforth if you want a light lunch. There’s a small patio. Cafeteria style. We ordered a BLT and a grilled sandwich - black forest ham and Swiss cheese. They were both tasty but a little on the expensive side for simple sandwiches. The food was good so we’ll visit again and definitely recommend to others.“

“Very freindly staff, very clean resteraunt. Food was good, decent servings. Price was pretty higher than expected but you pretty much get what you pay for in this world and I was satisfied with my food and service.“

“Great costumers service. Great food and drinks“

“This Breakfast and Lunch place is 5 star everything. It starts with the amazing staff, delicious quality of food, and the variety on the menu. It's a cozy family oriented restaurant with great food options.“

“We had an amazing experience at Eggstatic Waterloo last weekend as it’s newly open! The food was absolutely delicious even every dish was bursting with flavor. We ordered the Eggstatic Steak & Eggs, Eggstatic Tomato Jacket, Classic Middle Eastern Breakfast with Hummus Foul Bowl, Blueberry Pancakes, and Belgian Waffle. Everything was perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, offering great recommendations that we truly enjoyed. The service, atmosphere, and food were all top-notch. We’ll definitely be returning soon!“
