Wonderful brunch! Delicious food in a lovely elegant setting and very reasonably priced for Toronto. We ordered the Shashuka and French toast and both were yummy. Service was attentive and friendly. Options to eat in or on a pretty patio. Don't know why it took us so long to check this out (somehow thought it would be pricy and crowded) but we will definitely be back. Highly recommended!

We were celebrating a birthday. Our first time there. Great food, great service, a little bit noisy, and we proceeded at a high table, not too bad but next time I go, I would prefer to be seated elsewhere. However, this was an accommodation for us, and I have to say we had a lovely time. Looking forward to our next visit.
