Thai brunch Toronto

This Toronto restaurant is giving the city a taste of Thai brunch

One thing's for sure: brunch is always a good idea. Any time spent in Toronto will present you with hundreds of choices on any given morning.

But if you're looking for something a little different than the typical brunch fare, this restaurant is sure to spice up your next morning. 

A stylish spot with a few locations in the city and named after a historical, mountainous town in Northern Thailand, Chiang Mai Junction is perfecting its innovative brunch menu of new breakfast classics and lunch staples — all with a Thai twist.

"Chiang Mai's founding principle has always been bringing the best of Thai food using fresh ingredients and following the foundation of Thai cuisine preparation," Sujee Moorthy, Chiang Mai owner, tells blogTO. "Our restaurants offer an elevated atmosphere, highlighting the authenticity in each of our Thai dishes while providing the great values of hospitality in customer service to reflect the essence of Thai culture.

Must-try options include the Lobster Khao Soi Benny, which features lobster meat and two poached eggs atop English muffins, smothered with Khao soi hollandaise and served with a side of mixed greens, fruit salad, and fries.

"Our Chefs along with our menu developers curated this dish featuring one of Toronto’s favourite traditional breakfasts with Thai Twist," says Moorthy. "Our signature golden curry sauce is infused with the traditional hollandaise, creating a creamy, flavourful blend that perfectly compliments the lobster, muffins, and the richness of the runny egg yolks."
