Best Brunch restaurant in Canada

S	Sarah Nicholas (Away With You) on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's a cool experience, a place to check out. We went Sunday morning so it was expected to be busy. Plates took a bit to come. Milkshakes are good and come in a big cup. I was expecting the food to be a bit better hence it being a diner. I don't recommend the hash dishes. I've had a better experience overall elsewhere. The best spot to be seated is by the front windows facing the street.
s	shania trixie on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Went to dine-in once, and been ordering breakfast takeouts after I’m off my 12 hrs shifts from time to time (around 7:30am ish). The servers are always super nice, both in person and on the phone. The food is like how’d you expect it to be; decent packaging, so I have no complaints! I always get their strawberry milkshake to treat myself, it’s sooo good!
S	Sonam Arora on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I'm glad that this is just hundred meters from my building and the food is so decently priced for the location and environment! My go to place for tap beer, chicken wings and Fish & Chips! Quality food at an affordable price! Kudos to the management and servers! My only request is that a non coloured light be used for the ambience - it's difficult to see how the food actually looks! :-)
C	Cacey L on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Frans become my regular place since the first day I visited in the late evening, a time in Toronto which hard to find anything open. The Retro deco brings me back to the old 50's, it’s like dining in your grandparents’. My favorite and always goes-to is chocolate pancake, berries is okay. Usually order side pancakes(only two pieces)than normal size(four pieces) cuz the portion here is way too big for me. The other favorite is Lasagna, never goes wrong with it! Loved the sauce deeply. Chicken waffles would rank second if I am craving for fried stuff. Burger and steak are mediocre, salad is just okay.(Caesar dressing is too oily) Don’t recommend Salmon Benedict, the salmon is overcooked and the bread is soaking wet.
S	Skyler St George on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Ordered the Big breakfast and the Morning glory waffles and was not overly impressed with either. The poached eggs tasted sweet and seemed like they were poached in butter and water. The morning glory waffles were drench in syrup rather than “drizzled” like advertised. This made the waffles rather unappetizing if you don’t like super sweet foods The service was quick and friendly but the food wasn’t the best relative to other options nearby.
T	Ting on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Pretty solid breakfast spot. Great potion size compared to the other breakfast places I've been to. It was pretty busy on a Sunday morning - there was quite a few people waiting to be checked in, but overall the wait for a table was quite short. I got the classic eggs benedict, but all the other orders at the table all looked very delicious. I did notice the server didn't ask how I wanted my eggs to be done (for the benedict), but they were cooked very well regardless - I just know some places ask for this. Paying for the bill took a while, but overall, it was a good experience. Would probably go again for breakfast.
O	Olivia GY on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My partner and I came here and had a chill time at the upstairs bar area. The place is spacious and clean, with nice decor and good music too. Lots of TVs playing sport games for those into that. The heaters were on pretty high so it was quite warm in there. The food was alright, nothing special. Overall I liked the place and it's ambient, good for hanging out with friends over some drinks and snacks.
F	Farhana Razzak on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Went there for brunch on a rainy day. I had spaghetti and meatballs with shredded parmesan (I guess) on the side (in a small clear container) and a lemonade. My partner had NY strip with mashed potato and veg (beans and carrots) on the side. Must say the portions were bigger compared to the price. The food tasted good and the beverage was okay. Service was really prompt. The nicest thing about the place is its old-school vibe. It's a vintage place and offers the coziness that makes you comfortable as you dine. Didn’t know its 24hrs open. Will go for dinner sometimes soon.
