563 Bloor Street West
Catering to a lower budget, but still delivering a lovely menu of banana oatmeal pancakes, omelettes with challah toast, breakfast tacos, a grilled brie sandwich and much more, the folks here have been serving Mother’s Day Brunch since 1998 ¾ so they’re definitely experts.
74 Lippincott Avenue
Restaurateur greats Oliver and Bonacini opened this spectacular Argentinean dining room/lounge in an underused entrance to The Bay, and the result is gorgeous!

176 Yonge Street
Part of Rob Gentile’s chain of rustic eateries, this dining room delights with its beautiful brunch and sophisticated surroundings.

Even if your mom isn’t vegan, she’ll love the no-meat brunch here. Start with a cold-pressed juice, then follow that up with any of a huge selection of veggie treats, like cinnamon buns, cauliflower tots, pizzas, savoury waffles, burgers and more!
1121 Bay Street
For moms who like a little bluegrass with their brunch, this is the place to go! Traditional B&Es, as well as bourbon chicken and waffles, poutines and Bennies are on offer, to be washed down with sour beers, bourbon sours and live music.
