The top 5 brunch restaurants in South Etobicoke

Brunch in South Etobicoke encapsulates all the usual bacon and eggy dishes you could ask for and that's not all. In this pocket of Toronto, you'll also find vegan, English, Eastern European and Mexican options.

Here are my picks for the top brunch spots in South Etobicoke.

Brunch at this relaxed New Toronto restaurant includes classic eggs Benedict, multigrain French toast and apple braised pork shoulder served with savoury bread pudding, crispy fried leeks and an optional fried egg.

Mexican and French foods mingle on the menu at this daytime joint on Lakeshore West. The all day breakfast includes omelettes and eggs Benedict alongside huevos rancheros, breakfast burritos and quesadillas.

Kitchen on Sixth
British comfort food is the specialty at this New Toronto kitchen where brunch on weekends runs from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Expect to find full English breakfasts, Benedicts built on crumpets and corned beef hash topped with poached eggs and doused in hollandaise.
