To help you find your favourite, we’ve rounded up the best spots to enjoy Saturday and Sunday brunch throughout the city.

Please note that menu items listed below are subject to change.

Aera

Paying homage to 21st century American cuisine, enjoy what is possibly Toronto’s best brunch view on Saturdays and Sundays at Aera. Serving a menu of elevated brunch favourites sprinkled with artfully assembled sushi house staples, there is no better setting to bask in the glory of a late-morning meal. Raise a glass to the weekend with a selection of luxuriously crafted cocktails, enjoy some of the city’s best Steak and Eggs, or dive into a plate of Griddled Cornbread with golden maple syrup — the ultimate steakhouse side, only brunchified. Take flight to the 38th floor of The Well and elevate your weekend with brunch above the clouds.


Lena Breakfast Empanadas

Leña

Near the hub of Toronto Eaton Centre’s shopping action, you’ll find Leña, serving up a South American-inspired brunch menu with Spanish and Italian influences. Exclusively available on Saturdays, try the Breakfast Empanadas for something savoury or French Toast with a dulce de leche twist if you’re looking for something on the sweet side. Need to fuel up for a busy day of shopping at the Eaton Centre? The Full Gaucho Breakfast is sure to do the trick! For a little something extra, indulge in an Aperol spritz, espresso martini or bottle of bubbly, because… brunch!


Parcheggio

Bayview Village-goers can say Buongiorno to brunch at Parcheggio, now serving a delicious spread of Italian-inspired dishes. The name, which translates to “parking lot” in Italian, refers to the restaurant’s location in a tongue-in-cheek way, echoing its playful and inviting atmosphere. Visit for brunch on Saturdays and Sundays and explore its menu of weekend favourites with a twist including Tomato & Pepper Baked Eggs, Italian-style Scotch Egg, Milanese Toast and Eggs Benedetto. Linger in true Italian fashion with a Mimosa, Caesar or Espresso Martini in hand and cheers to comforting plates cooked from the heart. Buon appetito!


Liberty Commons at Big Rock Brewery

For one of the best brunches in Liberty Village, make your way to Liberty Commons at Big Rock Brewery on Saturday and Sunday to enjoy a mouth-watering selection of dishes. Feeling a little foggy? Dehaze with the Sunday roast-inspired Yorkie Benny featuring ale vinegar Hollandaise or the Full English Breakfast. Don’t skip the Carrot Cake Pancakes either — with smoked buttercream frosting, orange, tea raisins, walnuts and coconut, you’ve never had a stack quite like this! Hair of the dog? Don’t sweat it, the beer is in full supply!


Eggs Hemingway

Maison Selby

Fancy a modern, French-inspired brunch experience housed within the walls of the historic C.H. Gooderham House? Reserve a table at Maison Selby on Saturday and Sunday to enjoy French bistro favourites like Oeufs Florentine en Cocottes, Crêpe Madame and Eggs Hemingway. Cheers to the weekend with an orange, grapefruit or pineapple mimosa or try the C’est la Vert cocktail featuring celery, lime, black pepper, Lillet Blanc, Cascade Celery bitters and Dillon’s Selby cucumber gin. We think that deserves a oui, oui! Bon appétit!


Canteen

On the bustling corner of King and John in the TIFF Bell Lightbox, Canteen’s bright and airy dining room is ideal for late morning and early afternoon eats in the heart of the Entertainment District. Stop by on weekends to enjoy comforting and creative dishes like the Swanky B.E.L.T., Love My Tender & French Toast or classics like the Canteen Breakfast and Maple Bacon Benny. With plenty of options to choose from and almost the full day to enjoy, it’s got something for the whole crew!


Breakfast spread

Beaumont Kitchen

Weekend shoppers and Etobicoke-dwellers can’t miss brunch at Beaumont Kitchen, located at CF Sherway Gardens. Pop in on Saturdays and Sundays for a mix of light and hearty dishes, from a classic Breakfast Plate to Smoked Salmon & Spinach Benny and Breakfast Taco topped high with pico de gallo. Feeling nostalgic? Go big and take on the famous PB&J French Toast featuring seasonal compote, peanut butter mousse and maple syrup… though you might need a post-brunch nap after!
