5 must-try Eggs Benedict in Toronto

Eggs Benedict is a staple at many of Toronto's best brunch restaurants. While the traditional offering usually includes peameal bacon, poached eggs, English muffin and Hollandaise, the creative interpretations on this list employ substitutes like donuts, waffles and cajun spices.

Here are my picks for must-try Eggs Benedict in Toronto.

Starving Artisit
With three locations in Toronto, this popular waffle themed restaurant makes a Waffle Benny ($10) that skips the classic English muffin for two mini waffles which are then topped with poached eggs, caramelized bacon and Hollandaise.

Lady Marmalade
Under a list of signature bennies at this Leslieville brunch spot you'll find the 'Cochinita Pibil' Pulled Pork & Citrus Red Onions ($14.50). An English muffin gets loaded with succulent pulled pork and then drowned in buttery Hollandaise.

Uncle Betty's
This Yonge & Eglington brunch stalwart makes its signature Betty's Benedict ($13) with two poached eggs served on donuts with peamal and then topped with lemon Hollandaise.

Hollandaise Diner
This Danforth East eatery is a shrine to Eggs Benedict. While the menu features numerous variations a standout is The Cajun ($11.95). Baked polenta and sautéed cajun spiced peppers get topped with poached eggs, onions, fresh chives and smothered in cajun Hollandaise.

YAYA
The Avocado Benedict ($14) at this Leslieville joint takes a fresh approach to your classic eggs benny. Two sunny eggs lay on a bed of avocado, potatoes and spicy spinach. Corn tortilla chips and salsa come on the side.
