Cuisine Amériques - Caraïbes Toronto

A Canadian leader in the brunch preparation, this chain has finally opened several restaurants in the greater Toronto area. At Cora the breakfast and brunch are rich and tasty. The eggs are always accompanied by a mountain of fresh fruit and hashed. The menu offers many combinations that will satisfy both small and large. The relaxed atmosphere of Cora's makes it a favourite for family brunches on Sunday morning.

To put a little sunshine in your day (and in your plate at the same time!), Miss Likklemore's is the perfect address. The first upscale Caribbean-inspired restaurant in the city, it serves specialties from the various Caribbean islands: plantains, okra tempura, Jamaican oxtail and spicy beef pies, grilled fish, jerk chicken, etc. Some dishes are offered in family size to share with your table. Bonus: delicious cocktails, just as sunny.

Grand finalist in enRoute's Best New Restaurants 2022, Fonda Balam is the brainchild of chefs Kate Chomyshyn, Julio Guajardo and Matty Matheson. The trio offers authentic Mexican cuisine, inspired by their roots and/or travels in that country, where the great classics rub shoulders with street food. Tacos are very popular here, as well as the birria, a typical stew from the state of Jalisco prepared here with beef. A small list of interesting cocktails and a few craft beers (some from Mexico) complete the menu.

If you want to satisfy a Mexican craving, this is definitely the place to come! Established in the Leslieville neighborhood since 2016, this cute and highly colorful eatery serves the whole gamut of Mexican food: shrimp ceviche, black bean soup, street tacos, cheese empanadas, pollo relleno (stuffed chicken), chicken with mole poblano sauce, etc. The weekend brunch is in the same vein. But its greatest asset is its terrace lounge with couches, fireplace, bar and an entire wall covered with street art. However, the music is a bit intense...

Open for over 40 years, Rivoli continues to attract Toronto's younger generation. It's more than just a place to grab a bite to eat, it's a Queen West classic. The atmosphere is casual and the bistro-style kitchen serves cosmopolitan dishes that reflect the city. On weekends, the place serves a tasty brunch until 3pm. In addition to the restaurant, Rivoli presents concerts, comedy shows and dance parties in its Back Room, not to mention its pool room. Entertainment here is plentiful and renowned in the city.

This tea salon also serves sandwiches, soups and bento lunch box. Teas are delicious and original desserts. We love chocolate cake and lavender. A place where you will get a good tea and nibble. The shop on the floor offers products from Asia, don't forget to take a tour.

A late afternoon breakfast? It's possible at Flo's Diner, a worthy representative of the "All Day Breakfast", the breakfast served at any time of the day. The 1950's atmosphere is a touch of simplicity in the Yorkville area. Here the cuisine is not refined, it is family style. The ingredients are not rare and expensive, they are natural and cheap. Perfect for a long and hearty weekend brunch or a meal on the go that won't drain your wallet.

It's impossible to have a more beautiful view of the city and Lake Ontario! Perched in the observatory of the CN Tower, about 350 meters above the ground, it offers fine market cuisine based on Canadian products. Vegetarian or not, you can choose between fixed price or a la carte menus, not to mention the seafood bar. For a highly Canadian experience, try the "Aboriginal Experience" menu. There is also an incredible wine cellar with over 500 wines from Canada and around the world. Note that you have access to the tower's lookout.

Located on the first floor of the SunLife Tower, Earls is one of the hottest spots in the neighborhood.
