The top 5 healthy brunch restaurants in Toronto

Brunch in Toronto is usually synonymous with indulgent dishes, boozy cocktails and that artery-clogging combination of bacon, cheese, eggs and bread. If cheat day has already come and gone, don't sulk because there are healthy options abound.

Here are my top picks for healthy brunch spots in Toronto.

Impact Kitchen
This Corktown eatery offers avocado toast on superfood bread, chia bowls and BLT boxes all week, but on Saturday and Sunday, it breaks out the big guns. Gluten-free waffles topped with fresh fruit and veggie frittatas are available starting at 9 a.m.

Harvest Kitchen
The flexitarian menu features hearty power breakfasts with organic eggs, twice-baked
beans, pico de gallo, guac' and a Red Fife English muffin. It's vegetarian by default but you can add on a strip of peameal bacon if you're craving extra protein. And there's a whole lineup of elixirs, smoothies, and spritzers to wash everything down.

Kupfert & Kim
The PATH locations might not be open on the weekend, but the K&K outpost on Spadina is. The weekend brunch menu offers house-made granola, buckwheat, oats and tapioca waffles, congee and smoothie bowls. It brews Sam James' Cut Coffee, so that's always a bonus.

The Beet
This all-organic eatery in the Junction dishes out huevos rancheros made with baked eggs on blue corn tortillas as well as other delicious-sounding egg dishes. Most menu items are billed as meat-free, but you can always add on a side of bacon.

Evolution Food Co.
It's not easy to exercise willpower in the St. Lawrence Market. Luckily, this eatery offers plenty of healthy brunch options. Start with a smoothie or a Greek yogurt bowl, or fill up on eggs in a baked avocado cup with roasted tomatoes and tzatziki.
