Eggspectation

I’ve visited many Eggspectations locations in Ottawa and Montréal and I can’t find a single fault with this one in Downtown Toronto. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming and our visit for Saturday brunch was a real pleasure.
The staff were friendly and even though the restaurant was rather busy we were seated right away.
We were brought water almost immediately however I also ordered a latte which rivalled that of many coffee places. It was really good!
The waiter was more than happy to accommodate my groups diet requirements. I ordered a Mexico inspired omelette which had salsa, veggies and sour cream. It came with the signature potatoes and a small selection of fruit as an included side. Overall it was delicious and expertly cooked. The rest of my group enjoyed their breakfasts too.
Even though the restaurant was busy the waiter was really attentive and came to check we were ok which although is nothing out of the ordinary was appreciated none the less.
Next time I’m in Toronto and am getting brunch I will almost certainly return here.

They give you a little packet of peanut butter with your toast!!! Just go its the best! #CanadianCowgirlApproved

We originally came here for brunch on New Year ‘s Day and it was SUPER crowded so we left and came back the next day which was much better. There was barely a wait for a table. I ordered the southwest sunrise, which is a omelet with cheese onions and peppers inside and salsa, avocado and sour cream on top. It came with potatoes and a small side of fruit. The potatoes were good, they could stand alone but I added ketchup. The omelet was good my only complaint was it was lacking salsa and when I asked for more of course they were trying to charge me for extra salsa, but my waitress was nice enough to sneak me some. Looking at other people’s photos of their southwest omelet I guess the cook was having a rough day because it doesn’t look as nice as other people’s photos who’ve posted on here. The service was great and the atmosphere was brightly lit and pleasant. Overall I enjoyed coming here.

Probably my favourite breakfast place downtown.
Price is on par with other breakfast places but with MUCH better quality, and with a massive menu.
The only criticism is that the quality is (sometimes) somewhat lacking in off-​peak hours.
Love it, never change.

Day trip to Toronto and needed breakfast. Usually I go to Frans (also great) but wanted to try a different restaurant. FOUND IT!!! Eggspectation is wonderful. Great staff and service. I ordered the southwest sunrise. SO GOOD!!! Fresh, hot, filling. I’ll definitely be back.

While in Toronto, my boyfriend and I Unilocal’d breakfast near where we were staying and came across Eggspectation. I would recommend making a reservation because the wait time for 2 people on a Saturday was about 45 minutes.
The restaurant was packed with tables about 2 inches from each other but we didn’t mind because it gave us an opportunity to sneak a pic at what others were eating.
I ordered the Belgian waffles and my boyfriend ordered French toast which was served with potatoes, eggs and bacon. The waffles were great and my boyfriend enjoyed his meal as well.
Overall great brunch but I would definitely make a reservation next time.

Fast service and delicous food! I was looking for a good brunch spot on Sunday and found most places to be closed. Then I came across this restaurant on Unilocal,and was pleasantly surprised to find that it’s conveniently located around the corner from where I was staying. With its cute name and great location, I decided to stop by.
I was seated immediately… the restaurant was packed. Not long after I sat down, a line started to form by the door (I came around 11AM). My waiter came over promptly and took my order. My food came shortly after. I cant remember the name of what I ordered (check out the pic!) but it was delicious! And enough to fill me up for the rest of the day! Everything seemed to be reasonably priced as well. I definitely recommend!

Kudos for opening on New Years Day. The interior and the vibe may suggest that the crowd only belongs Hipster elitists, but its quite the contrary. Service was excellent. However my only complaint is that the taste is not par with the presentation. I ordered a Café Mocha. It was filled to the brim with the super sweat whipped cream. The Mocha it self tasted like they used drip coffee instead of espresso. Ordered the American Classic for the breakfast. Sausages were tasted like salty brine. The roasted potatoes were soft, unfortunately even on the outside. I will give it another shot.

A large open-​space restuarant with cramped space makes for a hectic meal, but it was also lively and vibrant! All kinds of age groups, families, couples, etc. filled the space and the open air kitchen added to the frenetic pace of the place.
We ordered an assortment of breakfast dishes, but I only tasted my own dish. I ordered a traditional eggs Benedict and it was cooked to perfection. The Canadian version of hollandaise sauce is so rich and creamy, and theirs did not disappoint. The dish was served with lyonnaise style potatoes which were also crisp and delicious.
A very satisfying meal.

It’s a 4 star in Toronto, but 3 star compares to modern stander dinning … Why ?
Fresh ingredient and food source are what people should diet on. It’s December almost Christmas time, why is there Melon and WaterMelon In my breakfast? Certainly… global climate change and technology can achieve that and adding an extra fruit source is «healthy»…but melons are summer food… NEVER EVER PUT WRONG SEASON in your plate. It’s neither healthy nor fine restaurant should do. (Unless you enjoy frozen fruit & preserved fruit)
Bravocaado EggBenny is what I ordered, (instead of muffin they replaced by half avocado and with tomato sauce instead holland sauce)
Delicious yes, happy eating for people want to diet clean. However, the avocado should be heated up slight in the seed area… the layer of taste note like a water slide… «Watery Warm on top, COLD that wake you up, then Warm again»…
Overall: great place to hangout with large group, enjoy nice breakfast in a open space. Price is acceptable and staff are nice.

So I just returned here, as I said I would to try something else on their menu. I brought along my brother and his friend for lunch.
I had the Big Cheese with Gruyère with a mixed field green salad. I also added a sunny side up egg on top which was free to add to any burger. The salad was a standard house salad, nothing special. The burger was very good though, cooked properly and I love brioche buns.
My brother got the Lobster Mac and Cheese which was very cheesy and was a pretty big serving. He really enjoyed it and finished off the whole plate. He also said the toasted garlic crostinis were good.
His friend ordered The Big Classic Burger with fries and he enjoyed his meal as well and commented that the fries were really good.
I’m sure I will find my way back here yet again.

I came here for the Salmon Benedict. Very delicious. Comes with a side of colorful fruits. Nice décor and great service. Slightly more expensive than usual breakfast in Toronto but it’s well worth it. Best breakfast I had in Toronto. I strongly recommend it to all the early birds and breakfast lovers.

Love it! Will come again. Our waiter was fantasy! Food was great! Will give their lunch menu a try!
We had the all American breakfast on a Saturday morning, it was fresh and quick! They also served rye bread, which was a wonderful option! Nothing can go wrong with breakfast food.

Excelente!!! Huevos San Benedictos, Salmon y las tostadas francesas con frutas y licor triple sec, espectacular!!!

Spent the morning in toronto and couldn’t be better then heading to this yummy establishment ! Orginal eggs Benny with an Americono coffee and added expresso shot! 17.00 all up. (Not cheapest around but given location, service and cleanliness is outstanding)
Apprently this establishment won best brunch in the city in 2014.
My server was Bennet who was always right there just when I needed something.
Very open concept dinning with what looked to be a coffee bar and or station to sit at. The menu is large and very informative. This location even offers hamburgers in the afternoons but closes at I belive 4pm each day.
Pros — location to eat ions center and bay street
Cons — a bit tricky to find, homeless on the walkways,

Don’t let the cheesy name turn you away! This place is magical — from the lovely mimosas, to the great décor, and DELICIOUS food — this is pretty great.
I had the lobster benedict and the lavender mimosa (s) — oh man, I was a happy and full camper. We came here with the brother and his family, including a well behaved 1 year old — and we all came away with a great experience.
The service was a solid 3, but the food, ambiance, and drinks totally make this a solid brunch/​breakfast place in the area.

It doesn’t hurt that our Great United States Dollar is KILLING the Canadian Dollar by a whopping 32%. It was really nice seeing our bill and laughing in the back of my mind thinking «minus 32%».
Toronto overall was pretty disappointing. Canadians hype this city up. I can’t help but compare it to Chicago which I learned after my weekend in Toronto, that there is no longer a comparison.
Toronto shines in a very small number of places and this place is one of them. Good service. Very clean place. The location was right next door to the huge mall and not too far from our hotel. If I ever feel the need to return to Toronto, I will make this place a «must have».

Aside from the raw rustic furniture and décor, this place definitely fell short of keeping up with it’s ambiance.
Even though customer service was great and the menu had about 50 breakfast options to choose from…
We ordered what appeared to be the most tastiest items on the menu lobster Benny and lobster omelette at $ 18.00 each… grapefruit juice @ 4.99.
Verdict:
If there are 2 minuscule pieces of lobster on both the lobster Benny and inside the lobster omelette… the experience is going to be horrendous!!! The bill with tax ended up being $ 47.00 and I left feeling robbed!

6÷26÷15: Decent breakfast /​brunch with fresh and high quality ingredients.
1. Freshly Squeezed Grapefruit Juice Regular C$ 4.50: Pretty good freshly squeezed grapefruit juice. Very fresh tasting. Don’t always see this, even at breakfast specialty places, so this was a nice surprise. ⁷⁄₁₀
2. Coffee C$ 2.45: Sorry, don’t remember how it tasted.
3. Lobster Omelette C$ 18.95: Pretty hard to find lobster in here, otherwise the price would have been quite nice for lobster. Potatoes were a little plain. Kinda disappointed with this one. I did appreciate the generous lathering of hollandaise sauce though. ⁴⁄₁₀.
4. Eggspectation Bagel Breakfast Sandwich C$ 10.95: Probably a bit over-​priced for what it is, but the bagel is fresh and flavorful, and the various vegetables were very fresh and vibrant in colors. Each bite was like biting into freshly pulled vegetables and fresh bread. Love these Canadian bagels which are chewier and denser than those I’m used to in America. A basic breakfast sandwich well executed. 7.5÷10
I wouldn’t mind coming back. Everything is very fresh and good quality. A little pricey for what you get though.

The food was excellent. The service was even better.
I had the Eggspectation Omelette with a side of French toast. Everything was absolutely delicious. The Lyonnaise style potatoes are a must.

Eggspectation started in 1993 in Montréal and now has locations throughout Canada, a few in the US, India, and Dubai. I wish we had a location in Austin, TX, as it would be my new favorite brunch spot. They have more than just eggs, as this is a restaurant that can be experienced all day for breakfast, lunch, or dinner (thus why the menu is quite hefty).
The restaurant is spacious, bright, and comfortable. It’s hard to select from the variety of breakfast options. The one thing that is a must to try is their Lyonnaise style potatoes which are sautéed to a golden brown with caramelized onions, herbs, and other «secret» ingredients. They are lightly crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, and somewhat French fry like. The Mykonos Omelette was pleasing to the eye and taste buds. They have an onsite smoothie and juice bar, and also offer three different flavors of mimosas. The fresh squeezed juice really makes the mimosas extra special. They don’t serve the mimosas until after 11:00am. I am glad I ended my meal with an espresso, as there coffee was superb. Overall an amazing breakfast and a great way to end our overnight in Toronto.
