Over Easy Restaurant

I’m certainly a fan of the breakfast Poutine at Over Easy. For travelers, this is one of the nicest little breakfast places in downtown Toronto. Food is delicious and reasonably-​priced.

Brunch here was fantastic. Breakfast poutine was a favorite along with the banana caramel french toast. Food was fresh and delicious and portions were generous. Décor was charming and inviting. We would return!

Settled in for a leisurely breakfast while I awaited my (Cleveland) family to arrive for a gastronomic tour of the city.
I had heard good things about the breakfast poutine so I decided to give it a try. Coffee was good and flowing freely. When the dish first arrived I thought boy, this looks small, but upon further review it was incredibly filling. It was filled with potatoes, ham, bacon, cheese curds, (runny) eggs and topped with hollandaise sauce… a great mixture. The potatoes were diced small and fried giving them a french fry texture and crunch.
I also liked the fact that when I was served a side of toast, they asked if i wanted p4eanut butter for it (not normally done in the states) which was a nice touch, especially since i love peanut butter! I took her up on it.
My server was very accommodating and pleasant to chat with. A nice experience and a good meal. Hope to be back!

I brought a friend from out of town here for brunch. I haven’t been in a couple of months. I used to really like this spot, but was very disappointed this time around. I ordered the florentine eggs benedict with hollandaise on the side. The hollandaise did not come on the side and it was cold. The side salad was wilted. The service was abrupt and we weren’t asked if we wanted anything else prior to bringing our bill. I will not be returning.

I got the skillet with eggs, sausage, bacon, peppers, onions… It was delicious and so filling! Can’t wait to come here next time I’m in Toronto.

To be honest, the place was decent, nothing too bad but a few issues.
First, this place isn’t easy to find, it’s inside the hotel Victoria. There is a sign outside but doesn’t really direct you.
Onto the food,
The good and the bad
I had Montréal smoked meat Benny. The sauce was delicous, the meat was good. It just kind of fell off at the actual egg. Not enough of run. Meh I can deal with it, overall it was good. It came with home fries, most places lack in this area. This place had good home fries, just the addition of onions was interesting, they weren’t overwhelmed the fries so that was good but I would avoid the onions. Between that and coffee and no mints is a recipe for bad breath.
The interesting.
They brought a jug of coffee when I ordered coffee, a convenience thing I assume. But I address that in my service part.
Lacking
Service was almost non existent. My waiter didn’t even drop by during the meal, another waitress filled my water when it was empty.
If it wasn’t for the pot of coffee that was brought to the table, I probably won’t have a more then a cup of coffee. But that shouldn’t replace service but add to it.
This place is okay but need work. I hate to be a group of 6 with that kind of service and being forced to pay 18%

I go to both the Bloor (across from ROM) and Yonge (inside Hotel Victoria) locations very often as I work by one and live by the other. They have a great, extensive menu and I have a few faves, including their fresh juices, the Skillet, the Eggstro, the Eggy Hammy Cheesy and Eggs in a Hole just to name a few. Oh, blueberry pancakes are good too!
The Yonge St location is consistently great re: level of service, food portion and food quality and happy staff. My guess is that this is due to Kirsten or Kiersten, the manager. She is lovely, you can tell she cares about the customer and her team. I have chatted with her a few times. Despite the fact they are in a heavy tourist area, there is an atmosphere of commitment to service.
Go to this location — you will love it.
However, it is important to note that is a BIG difference from the Bloor location. A few years ago I went there with friends for brunch — food was a 50 minute wait (fine, getting slammed on the wknd is nothing new and things happen) but when it came, the food was burnt and cold. When we spoke to Glenn, the manager and brother of Kiersten who manages Yonge location, he really didn’t care. The attitude of «we are in a high traffic business/​tourist area and can stand to lose customers» was very obvious. Shocking for a family run business. However, I continued to go back as overall for my need the food is great and the location, selection and price work for me.
Then, not long ago, when I told Glenn of two back to back visits with substandard portions and quality at the Bloor location compared to their usual, he literally did not care and did not offer to comp even my coffee. As «thanks» for giving him important feedback about his business, and being a frequent/​loyal customer, he only gave me attitude and said «well, these things happen». He did not acknowledge the issue at all. I mean at least PRETEND you care when you are speaking to a regular customer!?!
I won’t go back to the Bloor location, he is rude and does not care about the customer. He shouldn’t be speaking with customers as he ruins his own business! That day the server even told me quote «today we don’t have our best staff in the kitchen» as an excuse for the food issues. At least the server acknowledged there was an obvious problem.
Moral of the review — go to the Yonge St location, inside hotel Victoria and enjoy! But, SKIP the Bloor St location.

Came here for Sunday brunch during my birthday trip to Toronto. We got to the restaurant around 10:20 and had to wait less than 5 minutes for a table.
Our waiter was very efficient and knowledgeable. The menu was very extensive and full of variety.
I ordered the vegetarian omelette which was very hearty and filling. The meal also came with home fries and toast.
For a total of $ 16 (including coffee) this meal was well worth it seeing as thought I did not eat again until 4pm

We stumbled upon this place after walking around looking for pancakes last weekend… ya, neither of us got the pancakes…
The place is cute! Its homey and cute, kind of reminds of the antique roadshow café’s we have back home. My guy got the breakfast poutine and I think he’s gonna put a ring on it. I’ve surely been replaced.
I got eggs, bacon and toast. The standard ‘Bev’. My food is always fine because I always order very basic things for breakfast.
Oh, they have booze! Why didn’t I lead with that? I know thats all you drunkie’s care about.

Everything was good except I’ve had better pea meal bacon. The Montréal Hash was very tasty and very filling. The veggie skillet had actual real vegetables and tasted great. Get the hollandaise on the side, though. Even the wheat bread was fresh.

When we arrived we waited about 10 minutes until someone came over to notice us to seat us. The service after that was okay. The food was not good very greasy. The toast was not toasted and the eggs tasted funny. Would not go back ever.

Nestled inside a boutique Queen Victoria Hotel, this place offers the best brunch menu! My favourite here is 2 eggs with small potatoes and 2 ginormous Chicken Sauseeeeeeege… the best sauseeeege in the down town core!

This breakfast joint is on point. Prices are fair. Portion sizes are good. The waitresses were friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. I got a chicken mushroom Swiss wrap with home fries and it was awesome. My one friend ordered banana pancakes and they were the best pancakes he has eaten. We are seriously considering going back again today.

Meh, breakfast was okay. For the amount that my plate cost I was expecting a lot more. The potatoes were soggy, but the poached eggs were cooked nearly perfectly. Service was good.

Nice homely restaurant with a coat rack for people going to work. It had nice pussy willow branches arrangement. Restroom was downstairs and took a long to get to! So if you really needed to go, make sure you start walking 5 minutes early!
The eggs bruschetta was a good dish (not worth 9.25 though!) The Western omelette was okay, not great.

Food here is really good and the service is fast and friendly. I ordered the baked eggs with cheese, bacon and mushrooms and it was so much to eat. I like how we order coffee and they bring a pot of it! Well priced to boot.

I’ve been twice for breakfast. The last time I ordered the poach egg (medium) and it was nicely cooked. The yolk was still runny… makes me wonder if this is medium cooked poach egg!
The breakfast dishes come with home fries (which are nicely seasoned including onion and parsley flakes) and tomato and toast.
My complaint would be the expensive orange juice but I guess that happens when you stop drinking caffeinated drinks.
The restaurant was not busy (nor was it busy the last time I was there) and the service was friendly.
Would I return here out of my own volition? No.

Don’t be fooled by the outside or décor inside, this place has some of the best breakfast and the best value for your dollar! I had the lox and my coworker had the eggs benedict. Both were amazing! Service was great! Meal left me full. Food was absolutely fresh. I haven’t had breakfast that good in a while. Came in on the Sunday before Canadian Thanksgiving. Wasn’t too busy and was sat immediately. Go!

Great breakfast diner! Their home fries are the best! They are mixed with onions and have the perfect seasoning. I would come here just to order those! We ordered the Eggs Bruschetta, Eggs in a Hole and the Breakfast Burrito. None disappointed! Great flavor, friendly service, but there is a short wait for food. Fresh coffee pots brought to the table. Bloody Caesar and Mimosas are delicious as well.

I think I like the Bloor location one a bit better. Same chain, awkward bathroom since it’s shared with the hotel.
Food still decent.
