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!
