Petit Dejeuner

Wow! This Belgian restaurant is next level. The owner even gave me a brief history lesson about his home country—so welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend! Definitely a highlight of my trip to Toronto from the States.

For those who are downtown near St Lawrence and like a more private place with good options for breakfast and brunch, this restaurant is definitely a great option. The building is located across from George Brown College on King Street, and is home to several shops. It has a very pleasant atmosphere, with old-fashioned decorations, good and fast service, and orders also arrive very quickly. The menu has a great variety of savory and sweet dishes, and good drink options, including alcoholic ones. The prices are not expensive and it is worth checking out.

Amazing food, amazing coffee & hot drinks, and amazing service. Would definitely recommend & return. Janice was our server and she was very friendly and helpful, ensuring we had a great experience. The food was no short of amazing. Small space & tight seating but this restaurant definitely makes the most of it. Thank you for a great meal!

For our anniversary, my wife took me to breakfast downtown. She loves eggs Benedict, and found this restaurant via chat gpt of all things. It’s cozy, has character, and the food was excellent. My wife claimed the eggs Benedict were the best she’s tasted. Apparently, to make eggs Benedict requires perfect timing to get them just right, which they have mastered. Heather was our waitress. She was lovely and very attentive. We found out that Johannes, the owner, is from Belgium. He uses antique Belgian waffle irons to get a unique shape and has to work hard to keep the machines operational. He also apparently uses a leavened recipe, which produces amazingly light, fluffy waffles - it’s a family recipe. I hear there are often lineups to get a table on weekends. I’m not surprised. We plan to take my kids there over the holidays. We can’t recommend it highly enough. It’s easy to pay more for an inferior meal. I prefer to support local businesses over corporate conglomerates. In this case, you gat vastly superior service, food, and setting. It’s an easy choice to make.

This has become our go-to brunch spot! Their waffles are light and crunchy. I didn’t think I would like their apple slaw but they’re absolutely delicious! Their Benny waffles only come with one egg but they also have bennies without the waffles that come with two. The fresh juices are also a must have!

Very nice, quick attention. The waffles were beautiful, tasty. It was a great decision to start the day in this place. We almost give up on the long line but we stayed there patiently. I think it was worthy.

Pretty descent breakfast spot. The benedict was good. The apple slaw was very nice. The waffles were excellent but I wish they were bigger. The location is a bit "grim" and dark for breakfast.

Lovely place for the brunch, we came around 11:00am Saturday and we saw a lane of 10 people. After 10 minutes the lady found a table for us, and she was super nice. Cosy place, chill atmosphere the place fare away from the touristic area. The food is very good with a big portion. You can custom up your breakfast if you are not sure to finish your meal like me.
