Great drip coffee, delicious and a good variety of your typical brunch menu options.
Toronto Brunch & Dinner Restaurant Old School
This small french bakery cafe serves delicious pastries and serves a great brunch that always leave you satisfied without feeling like you overate. For baked goods, I especially love their lemon twist croissant and cheese croissant.
Bonjour Brioche
Michelin Star diner. A bit more on the pricier side for brunch but ingredients and the food is delicious. The OG Patty Melt is my favorite! They're also known for their daily donuts. Depending on the flavor of the day, I have had better, but still go...
White Lily Diner
Korean inspired French fusion bakery bistro. This place has super delicious Madeleines! It's a bakery and restaurant. Love the decor and french-asian fusion inspired menu.
Gateau Ghost
Amazing brunch options at a funky decor restaurant. Portions are huge, tasty food is served as items are made from scratch and I love how they use organic eggs in their dishes.
L'Avenue Toronto
Traditional Diner with a twist. Comfort food infused with Asian inspired dishes.
Susie's Rise & Dine
Italian
Comfort food where I always come and often get the Mushroom Truffle Pasta and Carpaccio. Don't forget there is house wine $1/oz. It always hits the spot and it's consistent. It also has a happy hour menu!

Giulietta
Happy Hour
These are my go-to happy hour spots in Toronto — where the food is actually good, the drinks are solid, and the value is worth talking about. Whether you're looking for a casual after-work hang or want to try high-end spots like Nobu, Estiatorio Milo...
If you're looking for tasty thin-crusted pizza with fresh ingredients, Brigette has one of the best value happy hour deals you can imagine.
Bridgette Bar Toronto
If you're wanting to try Mott 32, it does have a happy hour menu to try various dim sum bites without feeling too guilty dropping more than you would usually eating dim sum at a local Chinese restaurant. Here in the GTA, I would recommend Rol San if ...
Mott 32
Nobu offers a Tanoshi hour for you to indulge and try a range of dishes and drinks at a more affordable price.

Black & Blue Toronto
If you’re in the financial district looking for a happy hour spot, Joey’s is central, has a great ambiance, and a tasty happy hour menu to de-stress from a days work.
JOEY Toronto King Street
Another Financial district staple for happy hour food and drinks among those who work and are doing business downtown. In the summer, I like to be up on the rooftop.
First Canadian Place Restaurant | Cactus Club Cafe Toronto
Estiatorio Milos offers an a la carte lunch menu where you can taste why it's considered renowned for its high-end Mediterranean Greek food at a decent solid price.
Estiatorio Milos Toronto
Mexican
Authentic Mexican Tacos with great value and taste. It reminded me of eating Tacos at Tacos Orinoco in Mexico City. Not quite at that level, but for Toronto, they’re impressively good. Of course, nothing beats the real deal in Mexico City, but by Toronto standards, this place delivers.
LOS COMPAS TACOS | toronto
Their tacos are stacked and full of flavor albeit more on the expensive side. Casual atmosphere, quick service, guarantee a tasty meal.
Campechano
Super quaint, no fuss, on the East end of Toronto. Hands down the freshest and best open-faced tacos and tostadas spotlighting bold seafood flavors and bites. Amazing flavors.
Puerto Bravo - Toronto Restaurants
The burritos here are packed and super tasty! You can find Taco Lupita inside Toronto Waterworks Food Hall, which overs a variety of authentic cuisines from around the world. It's a great space for casual eats.

Thai
I love the flavors here. More so than dare I say… Pai. They focus on southern Thailand flavors and have been awarded Michelin Star and prices are reasonable. Definitely make resos if you plan to go during busy hours.
Koh Lipe
Want great value, decent thai food. You can't go wrong with Salad King. It's been my go to staple when I'm craving Thai for take out or simple no frills quick dine in.
