If you're craving a sweet start to the day, the cinnamon French toast or oatmeal pancakes should fit the bill."

Featuring pancake flavours such as matcha, nutella and strawberry cream cheese, their most famous signature pancake combo is a custard pancake and earl grey caramel pancake."

"The Dundas west location of Café Plenty is a neat little spot in the middle of a super busy area; It’s smack across the street from Toronto Police 52 Division, on the cusp of Hospital Row and heading towards China Town west. This small yet roomy chic café is good for a croissant and latte pick-up, but if you’re hankering for more grab a sandwich and salad as well."

"One thing we love about this Church Street institution, which sprawls over three floors, is that despite its ample space, it still manages to feel cozy—the vintage rugs, exposed brick, and wrought-iron details help sustain the familiar feeling. And all this room makes it a popular stop for groups with an appetite. They come in droves for the restaurant's bistro-style food, like croque monsieurs with aged cheddar and leek fondue, or pistachio waffles with crème anglaise, so make sure you make a reservation through the website to avoid sulking by the hostess stand."

"Rain or shine you can find many Torontonians at SMITH for brunch on the weekends. With such a beautiful and eclectic atmosphere it truly does transport you to another world (France or Italy perhaps?) They feature simple ingredients and recipes made with soul and comfort, which makes it even more appealing to go there if you weren’t convinced by their decor!. https://www.instagram.com/p/BmlRFsqAf-Z/?"

"Smith takes up all three beautifully designed floors and the patio of a sweet townhouse in the Village. Come for a boozy brunch with a whole drinks menu dedicated for that special meal, or simply to relax and indulge in some staples. On top of it all: they take reservations for the weekend, so there’s no hour-long wait for eggs!"

"Located in the core of downtown Toronto, Sweetgrass Spa is a women’s only day spa that has been ranked as one of the best spas in the country for four years. They’ve got you covered for manicures, organic treatments, body luxuries, and other services that will make you question the definition and purpose of stress in the first place. @bespoketraveldesignembedded via"

"Although stress is not gender specific, fear of being seen in a bathing suit often is. Sweetgrass takes away any potential spa stress by catering to women alone. The hot tub and sauna area is reminiscent of a lagoon and a great place to relax before or after a service."

"A post shared by Healthwinds Spa (@healthwinds_spa) on Dec 28, 2018 at 4:02pm PST.

"On a small corner in Leslieville, the little Bonjour Brioche Bakery Cafe brings the taste of a true French patisserie to life. Known mostly for its brunch menu options, Bonjour Brioche is a great choice whether you crave a piece of quiche or the sandwich du jour. Try something decadent like the Croque Madam sandwich with toasted brioche, ham, gruyere cheese and a fried egg."

"Bonjour Brioche brings a French twist to the land of brunch spots in Leslieville. Choice dishes include poached eggs on salmon with hollandaise on top of a croissant or their croque madame, a cheesier version of their croque monsieur."
