Irish-leaning brunch in Kensington Market, built around a Full Irish, house soda bread, Benedicts, vegan brunch plates, and sweet waffle/pancake finishes.
The Arch Cafe/Bar brings Persian brunch, floral lattes, pastries, cocktails, and patio-friendly cafe-bar service to Kensington Market. Bandari Bowl, Persian Omelette, Mazafati Omelette, Pistachio Rose Cake, and saffron-cardamom drinks give the room its clearest identity.
El Catrin Destileria is a Distillery District Mexican room built around shareable plates, a dramatic mural, a heated patio, and a deep tequila-and-mezcal bar. The strongest food anchors are Birria Tacos, Tuna Tostadas, Costilla Cargada, tableside guacamole, and a taco-and-botanas spread that suits groups.
Le Petit Dejeuner is a King Street East brunch fixture built around Belgian waffles, Waffles Benedict, apple slaw, French toast, crepes, omelets, and the owner-chef story of Johan Maes and Tonya Reid. It sits in the St. Lawrence breakfast circuit with a current brunch menu that still knows its lane.
Mildred's Temple Kitchen is a Liberty Village brunch anchor built around Donna Dooher's long-running pancake reputation, a bright industrial room, and comfort dishes that stretch from blueberry buttermilk pancakes to gnocchi poutine and summer dinner plates. Weekday reservations and weekend walk-ins make timing part of the play.
Sisters & Co is a Trinity Bellwoods brunch room where pan-Asian comfort moves through family-recipe oxtail stew, gochujang chicken and waffles, katsu sandwiches, benedicts and a serious sweet side. The room feels personal, walk-in friendly and built for sharing.
Last Temptation is an old-school Kensington Market pub/cafe with a low-price, cross-genre menu: house-named eggs, made-in-house vegetarian spring rolls, French onion soup, Pad Thai, perogies, pita pizza, cocktails, and patio-leaning late-night energy.
SCHOOL is a Liberty Village all-day brunch room built around playful classroom naming, comfort plates, weekday and weekend brunch menus, and source-backed daily drink specials.
Bar Koukla is the Mamakas group Aegean snack-bar room on Ossington: raw seafood, dips, fritters, grilled seabass, lamb, Greek wine and cocktails, with brunch as a real second lane. Book it for meze and a fuller table order rather than a generic Greek night out; GEFsi gives the room a fixed-menu dinner path.
