Best Breakfast Restaurants in Harbord Village

Gateau Ghost has become my recent favorite — the vibe is moody and elegant, the service is seamless, and the food is genuinely unforgettable.

Delicious food and amazing service. Enjoyed seating on the patio

We had the best breakfast! I had the blueberry lemon ricotta pancakes, and they were amazing. My husband had an omelet tell, and except for a surprise jalapeño that we didn't realize was an ingredient in his omlette (he's not a fan of spicy food; even normal black pepper seasoning gets his eyes watery and makes him sneeze), he really enjoyed it. The orange juice in the mimosa was so fresh. It really elevated the experience. I will say I did find a very small piece of chopped jalapeño that had made it into one of my pancakes, but it wasn't overly hot and really was more of a weird texture experience in my food than anything else. That said, the fact that the meals aren't super controlled to make sure certain ingredients don't end up in dishes could be a concern for someone with food allergies.

Great atmosphere for a Toronto restaurant with friendly servers, good food, & a nice set up. Staff seemed a bit stretched which extended wait time, but totally worth it for great GF options. Only wish there were more options for those with egg allergies.

Enjoyed a lovely brunch with friends and good service from Delilah. Only thing we all found was the dressing on the green salad was not the tastiest--perhaps a sesame oil base? Something more basic like olive oil would be a better accompaniment when having salad with eggs in particular. Otherwise, poached eggs were perfectly cooked and omelette and scramble were delicious! Love the atmosphere here.
