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.
La Plume
Located at The Well, La Plume serves up a weekend brunch that’s straight out of southern France. Available every Saturday and Sunday from 11am to 2:30pm, indulge in mouthwatering selection of pâtisseries, hors d’oeuvres, plats principaux and desserts as you take a culinary escape to sun-kissed southern shores. Linger a little longer and stick around for Happy Hour or 50% off oysters, available from 3–6pm. Perfect for a leisurely meal, a romantic morning rendezvous or an excuse to say ‘oui’ to bubbly before noon, enjoy dishes like the Croque Madame Crêpe, Omelette, Ratatouille Quiche, and French Onion Soup.
The Dorset
Available daily until 3pm, The Dorset‘s Hunter’s Brunch offers a taste of the British coast and countryside. Choose from three incredible offerings that range from light to hearty, including Dorset Cereals Muesli with greek yoghurt and honey, a decadent Eggs Benedict with smoked back bacon and a British classic — The Full English. Don’t rush out… stick around for Happy Hour from 3–6pm daily, where all beverages and snacks are half off! Bright and airy yet cozy and comfortable, stop in with the family while exploring The Well or catch up with friends over a weekday morning meal.
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!
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!

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!
