C-Food

Rated this place:

2419 Yonge Street, Toronto, ON, M4P2E7

Brunch: For $15, you get three mix-and-match little dishes, coffee, and a smoothie at this tiny nautical-themed Yonge Street staple. Banana bread French toast, smoked salmon quiche, and a fabulous white-cheddar-and-veggie omelet = heavenly Saturday.

Dessert: The hot potato sundae is dessert as pop art. It's fun and decadent without the embarrassing proportions of, say, The Beast at Dangerous Dan's.

Fran's Restaurant

Rated this place:

20 College Street, Toronto, ON, M5G1K2

Pancakes: Fran's chocolate chip pancakes are THE BEST in T.O. A plate of them and fresh-squeezed OJ on a weekday afternoon (or very early morning!) is one of my ultimate guilty pleasures.
