Johnny G's Cafe

Truly, truly excellent. Maybe the best breakfast I’ve had in years, with warm staff/service and a complimentary side dish of fruit because it’s what the kitchen was working on. Would recommend! (Excuse the missing bite in the photo— it looked so good I couldn’t help myself)

I’ve lived in the Cabbagetown/Moss Park area for almost 20 years and I’ve been coming here for most of that time. Johnny G’s never fails to deliver what they promise - a solid breakfast! They’re always attentive and their prompt service makes you appreciate what good service should be. Here’s the thing: they don’t overdo it so you can actually enjoy your meals. They’re always attentive menu (always breakfast for me) is the essential stick-to-your-ribs fare that keeps me coming back year after year. I’m so glad they navigated their way out of the COVID crisis and survived to provide continuity in my neighbourhood. They help to make it continue to be “home.”

If you're looking for a top-notch brunch, this is the place to be. Their Egg Benedict was a standout—perfectly poached eggs over a buttery English muffin. The salmon was equally impressive. The dish was light yet satisfying, and the service was warm and attentive. A must-try for anyone craving a refined yet comforting brunch experience!

This is a hidden gem. It might looked closed but it is open and their Indian food is far better than most in Toronto. We had all chicken dishes however I would order them all over and over again. Such a delicious experience.

Follow @bredgyeats for more food photos! American diner by day, Indian by night, you could stay here the whole day and travel the world, especially with the exquisite Southeastern delights. You're first served a free amuse bouche that bursts with Indian spices like fenugreek, coriander, chilli and cumin and topped with a slightly tangy coriander and sweet tamarind chutney. I loved the saag lamb, notably due to the fragrant spinach aroma and a well-homogenized texture where the oil hasn't split, resulting in a rich but not too heavy bite. The pieces of lamb are tender, each with a distinct lamby aroma that I love. Then the creamy garlic chicken is exactly what it describes to be, a rich sauce with a pungent garlicky flavour nicely coats pieces of silky smooth chicken, drizzled with a sweet plum sauce around the perimeter for a slight bit of tang and sweetness. Both of these aren't complete with either rice or naan, but you can't get complacent with these simple dishes that are fundamental to each bite.

Best Hidden Gem in Toronto❤️ This place is legit a must try. With a cozy vibe this place truly depicts one of the oldest restaurants in cabbage town!😊 They have an array of dishes to try from including breakfast, lunch and dinner options. The aesthetic decor makes the dine-in experience more realistic. Even the new launch by the chef for Indian & Hakka Fusion in the menu is a must try!❤️ Definitely will come back here with my friends!🥳
