Mr. Toronto

Thought I’d be pretty single-minded this blog – cuz I was up late last night and woke up this morning with a hankering for some good eats. So let’s talk Weekend Brunch. One of those rare luxuries (even more rare if you have kids) that one seems to only be able to do when one is on vacation. And hopefully, if you’re reading this, you are at least contemplating a vacation to T.O., so here are some of my top picks for comfort food on a Saturday or Sunday (please note that I am not providing addresses – cut me some slack – it IS the weekend, and I’m feeling lazy. That’s what Google is for!!):

1. The very hip Drake Corner Cafe, at the even hipper Drake Hotel
2. Mildred’s Temple Kitchen, in Liberty Village (more on that in a moment)
3. School, also in Liberty Village
4. Frank, the trendy new restaurant in the beautifully renovated AGO
5. Brassaii Bistro Lounge, housed in a converted turn-of-the-century warehouse
6. Okay Okay, a retro diner with all the trimmings
7. Toast – also like that (you gotta admit, these places have great names!)

So where was I? Oh yes – Liberty Village. This is my new favourite area of town. Used to be a bunch of derelict warehouses, then the film community took over for studio work, etc., and now it’s hip and buzzing. Not a lot to do here but eat, drink, and watch the beautiful people walk around, buy hey – nothin’ wrong with that once in a while! And some great outdoor patios there, so make hay while the sun shines in our fair city!

Happy eats,

Mr. Toronto
