10 restaurants for a full English breakfast in Toronto
Full English breakfast in Toronto requires a big appetite. These morning meals aren't for the faint of heart - they're big greasy feasts from the other side of the pond that are a welcome addition to Hogtown's thriving brunch scene.
Here's where to go for a Full English breakfast in Toronto.
The Old Laurel
This Brit pub on College Street is the place go for proper fry-ups and Premier League football. The Full Monty ($15) is a feast featuring a pair of eggs, two rashers of bacon, a thick house-made banger, baked beans, grilled mushrooms, roast tomato, a slice of black pudding, bubble & squeak, and a couple slices of toast or fried bread.
The Queen and Beaver
The Full English ($14) at this pub on Elm Street is served on weekends from 10 a.m. To 3 p.m.. The classic breakfast consists of two eggs (any style), bacon, pork and sage sausage, tomatoes, mushrooms, and baked beans with fried bread or toast on the side.
The Oxley
Enjoy your humble Brit-style fry up in the luxe surroundings of this Yorkville pub. Owned by the same folks as The Queen & Beaver, the menu description is practically identical to the one listed above.
The Bristol
Enjoy a splendidly British-style breakfast in this handsome dining room on West Queen West. Like Old Laurel (the same chef created the menu), the feast here features two eggs with bacon rashers, sausage, black pudding, sautĂŠed mushrooms, baked beans, grilled tomato, home fries and a choice of toast or fried bread.
