890 College. St., Toronto, ON, M6H 1A3
Rated this place:
Best brunch in the neighbourhood: There are other brunch spots in the College and Ossington area, but none like Mitzi's. The newest sibling in Leslie Gaynor's family of restaurants has been met with much excitement in a neighbourhood that was so desperate for a decent brunch spot, it would wait in line at Boom for an hour. Unlike Boom, where the menu consists of standard omelettes and pancakes, Mitzi takes brunch up a notch with a smaller but more interesting menu that focuses on seasonal ingredients . Where others use unimaginative cheddar, Mitzi's throws tangy Beemster into its scrambled eggs. Omelettes at Mitzi's get a seasonal twist with prosciutto, asiago cheese and fresh sweet peas. It's not a ground-breaking menu, but for foodies looking for a new twist on brunch favourites, Mitzi's on College is your place to go. If you do go though, go early (before 11 am) or late (after 1). Otherwise, prepare to wait along with the hungry locals.
