Sous Chef

Our fans call us the best breakfast restaurant in Toronto, and we humbly tell them that we just make our food with passion, and serve it with love, and that always works for us.

Our first location opened on the College strip just east of Ossington in Winter 2003. Now in our 12th year we have recently expanded beyond Toronto’s borders with our newest location in Vaughan that also happens to be our largest. It’s an expansive space which seats 80 plus guests, and an additional 40 during the summer patio season.

We have 3 convenient locations to serve you the Best Breakfast in Toronto and Vaughan. Drop in for our breakfast, lunch OR brunch, or just enjoy an alcoholic beverage in our licensed establishments. We also proudly serve both Fair-Trade, Organic coffee and espresso-based drinks from Reunion Island.
