15 restaurants for Family Day brunch in Toronto

Restaurants for brunch on Family Day will bring you and your folks together over a hearty meal. There’s no better way to spend the holiday than devouring an eggs benny with coffee in the company of your loved ones.

Hollandaise Diner

Bottomless coffee—enough said. From 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., this small restaurant on the Danforth has build-your-own-benny meals and classic breakfasts. Be wary of limited spacing if you're coming with a family of six or more.

This fun restaurant that's now located on Broadview Ave. will be open from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. They'll be dishing out a menu of egg dishes like huevos rancheritos and benedicts that come with sides like pulled pork or salmon, with options for vegetarians too.
