Our favourite brunch places
Leslieville is known for its brunch! There are so many places to choose from. These area few of our tried and true favourites.
We highly recommend this small but incredible Egyptian brunch restaurant open from 8 am to 7pm. Don’t miss their honey cardamom lattes, Cairo Classic plate and their Mind Blowing Chicken sandwich (but you can’t go wrong no matter what you order!) This place is incredibly popular, for good reason, and you can expect a line up if you are not arriving very early in the day.
