How we made this list
This list was created using Google ratings and review counts as of October 22, 2026. A weighted rating was applied so that places with very few reviews would not rank disproportionately high. Only establishments with at least 150 Google reviews were considered. Furthermore, only places currently open for business were included in the selection. The final list presents 20 options that meet these criteria.
Questions about brunch spots in Toronto
