Saving Grace - Toronto, Ontario

A favourite brunch place of my daughter’s and mine! We’re not from Toronto but will make a point to go out of our way to eat here if we’re nearby at the right time. Everything is interesting and delicious, and the staff are super friendly. There’s sometimes a line but ... it’s worth the wait! Read more

Behold, the Bermuda Triangle of breakfasts…Look at the plate, the teenie bit of eggs, chickpeas, and the pita formed the Bermuda triangle of breakfast, where did all the breakfast go in the centre of the triangle? No one knows… And it will never reappear. I have been coming to this restaurant ... for years. I haven’t been in a while and returned recently. My breakfast was a little bit of egg, a little bit of chickpeas and a pita. I pretty much finished the meal in two minutes and was wondering when this place went so downhill. It was such good value before. In the past this was the place to have an amazing unique meal that was substantial. Now the meals don’t feel very unique or complex at all and the restaurant is pretty much cheaping out and giving you two dollars worth of food and charging you $17.50. The attached picture actually looks a lot different from past pictures I see of people who ordered the same breakfast. The plates are empty now compared to what they used to be. Read more

Visited on a Monday for brunch, and the space was almost full of local diners. It's clear that this place is popular. I ordered a mint tea and the Angela sandwich. The mint tea was loose leaf came in a clay tea pot. I'll be ordering this again. I like that the rye ... bread used for the sandwich is thinly sliced and crunchy - great texture and won't destroy the roof of your mouth. I'm unsure about the tomato chutney and aged cheddar pairing used in the sandwich. The salad helps cut through that flavour combo when it becomes overwhelming. I won't be ordering this again. Service: Friendly servers who have service timing down. The servers checked in on the hot water for my tea. Much appreciated! Thanks for understanding customer body language and being inviting. Atmosphere: a very cozy space with well used creaky stairs and flooring. The front windows let in a lot of sunlight, highlighting the decor. The building is quite old and needs renovations like many of the other neighbouring buildings. Tables and bathrooms are clean. Will be back to try more! Notes: - Closes at 2:45pm - Only accepts Canadian debit and cash - Join the Yelp wait list if dining here on high traffic days (weekends) Read more

This was our second attempt to eat at Saving Grace, almost didn't go, but I'm so glad we did! It seems unassuming when you walk in but the service is so friendly and quick! We ended up ordering their "desserts" which you can do half and half! Which is amazing ... for people who want to try everything and honestly everything was amazing! We ordered the french toast with caramelized bananas, the raspberry pancakes with lemon curd sauce and, my favourite dish so far, the blintzes filled with lemon ricotta topped with erry sauce. The ricotta was devine! We have already planned to go back just for this item and try a few other items that caught out eyes. Did I mention unlimited coffee refills that went perfectly with our food?

One of the healthiest brunch places that I have ever been to. Never have I ever tried lentil salads with poached eggs topped with pomegranate, feta, avocados and a nutritious side salad!! Very affordable and good service. It’s a small place so make sure to reserve a table beforehand especially ... on weekends. Read more
