These Toronto restaurants are serving unique spins on eggs Benedict
Eggs Benedict in Toronto is a favourite on many brunch menus in the city. There's classic versions that top two halves of an English muffin with Canadian bacon, poached eggs, and hollandaise sauce to more unusual version that take the beloved Benny to new heights with nontraditional ingredients.
Here's where to find unique spins on eggs Benedict in Toronto.

Dirty Food
Goodbye, English muffin. Hello, johnnycakes!
For its Salmon Jonny ($22), Dirty Food in the Junction uses two cornmeal buttermilk pancakes as a bed for perfectly poached eggs and cured smoked salmon, that's doused with hollandaise sauce and topped with crispy capers and dill.
