Owner Dawn Chapman’s farm-forward philosophy stems from her childhood experiences growing up on her grandparents’ farm in Midhurst, Ontario. Her beloved brunch spot (with a newly minted dinner menu) has become a community pillar in the city’s east end of Leslieville (and beyond). People clamor for the legendary high-rise biscuit sandwiches, the stuff of down-home country dreams. These fluffy cushions embrace decadent fillings such as fried chicken with honey butter and jalapeno cheese, Mennonite smoked bacon cradling a runny egg and melty aged cheddar, or eggs with portobello mushrooms and vegan cheddar.

The app is also partnering with Daily Bread Food Bank to support their work on food insecurity in the city, including by featuring an in-app donation option.

Copy Link Since 2009, this restaurant with a fast-casual counter has sent a couple thousand famed Portuguese chickens out the door each week. Owned by Carlos Martins and managed by his three sons, including Le Cordon Bleu graduate chef Steven Martins, this spot has all the markers of a family-owned restaurant operation. The family takes care to source ingredients directly from Portugal (such as fresh fish and seafood), and Papa Carlos makes the rounds glad-handing and toasting with guests like a local celebrity.
