Toronto’s best new brunch 2020

10 new restaurants adding their own avant-garde flavour to the bustling Toronto brunch scene

Lapinou’s brunch menu offers a more sophisticated, varied take on the mid-morning meal, with everything from ratatouille and short rib to a classically simple Boursin-stuffed French omelette on offer. The neo-bistro offers French classics made with mostly local ingredients, while the menu changes up every month. What you can always count on: half-price wine and champagne. While sleek and swanky, the space does not intimidate. Incredibly warm and welcoming, with its vintage oil lamps, plush emerald couches, exposed brick and marble bar, it brings a much-needed coziness to King West.
