New brunch restaurants in Toronto represent a desire across the city for more than just cereal and milk. Mimosas, Caesars, and of course the mighty poached egg in all its forms at these places improve weekend breakfasts by leaps and bounds.
Here are my picks for the top new brunch restaurants in Toronto by neighbourhood.

Kost took up residence on the rooftop of Bisha Hotel recently, and now serves brunches of avocado toast, coconut pancakes and breakfast wraps with the same Baja flair as their other menus.
