Vi Pei Bistro

This place is terrific. We have eaten here many times as it’s walking distance for us. I have never been disappointed. Breakfast (and sometimes other meals as well) is always served with beautiful fresh fruit. The meats are done to perfection. Service is always prompt and friendly. Prices are extremely reasonable. A local Gem.

I have been to Vi Pei dozens of times over the years for breakfast and it never disappoints. They know how to make poached eggs and their Grand Marnier French Toast is amazing. Huge portions that even my teenage son is full when we go. Great fresh food and good value.

We once went a hunt for the best eggs benedict on the east side. Our journey took us to leslieville and beyond. And hands down this place has the greatest eggs benny we have ever had and at $ 8 it’s a steal of a deal.

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE .
Our server, although very polite was unprepared. When asked about the specials she said she would check. Came back a couple minutes later and asked if we are ready to order. I ordered the specials anyway.
My drink ran empty and our food took almost a hour to arrive.
The seafood pasta had pieces of shrimp shells and fish bones. We mention to our server. She said she would try and do something to compensate. After we got the bill not only was there no compensation, we found out that the price for the special was much higher than their menu items.
I tried calling later on that night and the next day to speak to the manager. Left messages no response. What a rip off. Some special! Over priced and took forever.

We were looking for a place to have breakfast at 11 am on a Tuesday. We were very pleasantly surprised by Vi Pei. Portions are very great, presentation and atmosphere were nice, prices are reasonable, food was very good and service was friendly and quick. We will be back!

One of my favourite go to places in Scarborough. Especially great for brunch if you like Eggs Benedict. Very good service. This place is tiny inside, so often times you have to line up to get a seat, but it’s well worth it.

Previously I loved Vi Pei but for the past year everytime everytime we get take out my eggs nova’s English muffin is inedibly burnt.
My boyfriend seems to always be happy with his meal but I truly am tired of having to throw out the English muffin — eggs Benedict is not right without the English muffin — I believe they pass off the burnt ones to their take out guests as what is the likelihood you will drive back to return burnt food or ask for your money back — but I am going to do just that next time!

I like to keep things simple:
–Good atmosphere, a little cozy but still pleasant
–Good service
–Good food
A nice place to go in the east end

My family mostly lives in the east end, and to find a place that is not a chain is a pain! I’ll admit it; I hate going to the burbs. But I love my family, so I have to try to make everyone happy. I know that there are many wonderful food establishments in the East end, but come on Unilocal!Tell me where they are! I was trying to find a brunch place in Scarborough, and it was like pulling teeth! When I found Vi Pei, I did a happy dance. Finally!
When we arrived for brunch this morning (Sunday morning around noon), there was a line. But the staff was efficient and found us a booth for 4 pretty quickly (about 10 minutes). I know that I am spoiled when it comes to food here in Toronto. The number of brunch options in the TDot is insane! So when my family OHHHHD and AHHHD over their eggs and French toast. What can I say? Cutest thing EVER!
The food was okay. Not great. But just the fact that it made my family happy; it won me over. I did not end up eating much as I had to give my potatoes to my cuz (they were swimming in onions — I HATE ONIONS!). So I was pretty hungry several hours later. Usually when I eat brunch, I am stuffed! Not this time. But the prices are very reasonable, the service was friendly and efficient, and now my family and I have a place to call our own for future brunch dates (as long as they pick-​me-​up from a subway station. Hell if I am making the WHOLE trek by TTC!).

I have been here for lunch on several occasions, the soup du jour is always good but I love soup.
This place is gluten free; the majority of the menu is a good healthy choice.
The atmosphere is friendly and has a home feel which gives it an authentic Greek taste. I definitely recommend this place.

…i just totally fell in love with this place! it is literally a diamond in the rough and worth every bit of the trek out to cliff side area for their brunch. i’m definitely going to turn into a regular here in no time flat. the décor is beautiful, modern yet classy. small and quaint, you will be pleasantly surprised given the area it’s in.
we ordered:
brunch combo platter, excellent, french toast was to die for.
beach scrambler, excellent, made with REAL corned beef, not from a can!
our waitress was friendly and attentive, our experience was outstanding. and with such fair prices, they earned every single bit of my 5star rating :)

I love this place, it is by far the best breakfast place in the City… and lord knows I have tried so many!
I have had most of the breakfast dishes on the menu, I especially love the smoked salmon eggs benedict. The food, the service and the ambiance are perfect. The prices are VERY reasonable for the quality ingredients and the obviously high-​end chef that turns out perfect meals each time.
I would recommend it to anyone looking for a high end breakfast place at Scarborough prices.

I went for Sunday Brunch. I am not a fan of egg dishes so I could choose between the pancakes and the potato pancakes. I had the potato pancakes.
They were not very flavourful, but they are potato. It came with sour cream and some apple sauce/​chutney. It also came with sausage and bacon. The meal was good. My husband had the smoked salmon omelet which came with salad and potatoes. It was also good.
My husband’s complaint was that the service was off. Tables had been moved to accommodate larger groups and he had to wait for a chair. It took a while to get our food but it was up fast once the order was in. Our server failed to mention the specials and that also irked my hubby.
I haven’t been here for any other meal, but brunch was fast and tasty.

I went here only after reading a review from Unilocal,and thanks for the tip, we enjoyed another breakfast place in Toronto. We tried their breakfast menu but true, you can order something other than eggs and sausage, there’s pasta and sandwiches too.
Their Eggs Benedict looks perfect, will try that one next time. We went Satruday brunch time and the place is filled with happy chattering people. Nice way to start my Saturday.

I’ve been to this place several times for dinner (See my previous review) but this was the first time for brunch. I have to say that it truly lives up to the quality they provide for dinner. I ordered the potato pancake which comes with apple cheddar chutney (ish) stuff over top — to understand this explaintion see the picture; bacon AND sausage, sour cream (for dipping duh!) and fresh fruit. OH my goddddddd was it unbelieveable. This was one of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had, I love the fact that you don’t need to choose between bacon and sausage, who doesn’t love breakfast meats? Vi Pei understands the need for both. The pancakes were delicious just the right amount of potato/​onion flavour and perfect texture. Now to the best part, stuffing yourself to the brim for just $ 8. Yes that’s right $ 8. Next time you want a hearty and upscale breakfast that won’t hurt your pocket, go to Vi Pei.

The menu is very similar to it’s sister’s, Vi Vetha on Queen St. E., where I’ve never had a bad meal. This visit didn’t disappoint.
My Wild Mushroom Sandwich, my wife’s Grilled Wild Mushroom Salad and cousin’s 3-​Cheese omelet were all excellent. Nice sides of fruit, salad and fries. Mmmm, great fries.
A Cliffside neighbourhood gem!
Bonus…I got to show my cousin the Scarborough Bluffs for her first time!

Vi Pei is that hidden gem in Cliffside! There’s a couple of promising eateries in this little stretch of shops, and having just moved into the nearby neighborhoods, I’m exploring them one by one. Vi Pei is in a class by itself! It’s a great little bistro with friendly service and great dining for very reasonable prices. Normally I’m not a huge fan of pasta-​heavy menus — I can make great pasta at home. But we had an excellent seafood pasta here that was worth ordering — heavy on the scallops and completely delicious. I had ribs and grilled veggies that were beautifully done. They even have a reduced price dinner on Mondays! I would give it five stars if not for the location — the open front wall looks out on a grungy parking lot, which does take away from the atmosphere somewhat… but takes nothing away from the meal! We will be regulars here for sure.
