Yes, you will need to be waiting in line for this place. But well, worth the wait. Everything we tried was so flavourful with unqiue seasonings. Highly recommend getting one of their bread puddings when it’s nice and hot. Service was A+. The actual restaurant is quite cosy, just take note that you will be sitting fairly close to other patrons.

This was my first time visiting Lady Marmalade, and it did not disappoint! There was a line around the corner, but I was seated in about 30 minutes, and it was well worth the wait. The atmosphere inside is intimate and cozy, with a chill vibe that makes you feel right at home. I tried bread pudding for the first time, and wow—it definitely won’t be my last! It was perfectly spongy, served in a generous portion, and absolutely delicious. I requested dulce de leche sauce on the side, and I highly recommend doing the same—it’s a game changer. The salmon Benny was perfectly smoked !! I’m already looking forward to coming back. If you’re in the area, don’t miss this brunch spot!

On a rainy Monday afternoon, we didn’t expect a line-up but there was.😮 We waited for about 20mins. We got a table on the 2nd floor and it had a lot of natural light and I liked the vibes. We ordered most popular dishes and we loved it! Beef benny has actually a lot of beef! And bread pudding was pretty dense, big and tasty. It’s def a worth-to-try brunch spot in Toronto.

Food was great. Unfortunately the girl that greeted us was grouchy and rude, her area was full and she said we could go up and look to see if they had space upstairs ourselves in a very short way - she was not our sever but did deliver our food to our table and again had a poor attitude towards us(not sure why…we had a great server and others working there were very pleasant). We went on a Tuesday around noon with two young kids to have a celebratory brunch for my husbands birthday and felt maybe she wasn’t happy with kids in the restaurant - in any case, what would have been a lovely brunch was ruined by a poor attitude.

Had the migas and croque Monsieur along with a big green salad. The food was well prepared and quite delicious. However, is it worth the hour long wait on weekends? I don’t think it is THAT amazing. You’re best served by coming here on a weekday and avoid the long lineups.

Went for the first time for brunch around 11:45am on a Saturday. Food was delicious and fairly priced. I appreciated the fresh squeeze orange juice and the coffee was great. For my main I had the A.M. HASH with braised beef which was a generous portion that I boxed up so I could try the bread pudding which didn’t disappoint! The lemon curd on top was delish! Great spot. No reservations so there maybe a bit of line up.

This brunch institution does not disappoint. We waited about 30-40 minutes on a Saturday morning. It is fairly small inside but I think they turn over tables relatively quickly. I had the cured salmon eggs Benedict. The salmon was fresh and excellent. The potatoes were pretty good too. It’s a bright location with lots of light coloured wood. It’s worth visiting.

Honestly pretty surprised at how well this place is rated. I ordered the basic breakfast, and the potatoes were underdone and tasted of cooking oil. The salad was meh. Sausage was cold and dry. Eggs were nice, but for the price, I would expect a lot more.

Came on a Monday so it wasn t too busy. I tried the braised beef egg benny which was good, but I wouldn t line up hours for it. Our server wasn t attentive, we got bottomless coffee and no one came to refill. Had to flag down another server eventually. Also my bread had a piece of mold.

This was the 3rd time that I visited this place. Of course their food and service is outstanding but the only disappointment I always have the wait time and I expect them to do something about seating or increasing the space as it feels to compact too. But if you ready to wait then it s a green flag for you.

Whew. Don t know who is writing these reviews but Lady Marmalade left so much to be desired. Not sure with is more bland, the food or the decor (which honestly is more congruent with a ramen spot). Service was mediocre, challenging me for the first time to actually consider not tipping. Ultimately a restaurant like this (food, decor, & service) is a byproduct of the management s vision and training. Here s your call to action to improve.

I think I found Toronto s best breakfast place & this is everything I ate but first welcome to Lady Marmalade located towards the east end of Toronto known for its inventive breakfasts and nordic inspired interiors!! With over 2.3K reviews on Google and a solid 4.6 rating, you know I had to check it out for myself! It almost feels like a townhouse, the ground floor has a coffee station along with a few tables but the floor above has literally one of the coolest spaces to dine at! So dreamy! I could literally be here all day! & while we took a few minutes to decided on our breakfast options, we both ordered ourselves lattes while we decides on the food options! You will literally be spoiled for choice with so yummy options to choose from! & This was everything we ordered, I opted for the classic B.A.B eggs benny with bacon, avocado and brie - SOO SOO GOOD! The highlight for me was the salad because that dressing was literally bomb.commm & the benny itself was cooked to perfection!!! Amit opted for the Moroccan Eggs Scramble which came which had tons of veggies like kale, spinach, tomatoes, olives, spiced chickpeas & he throughly enjoyed that too!! Towards the end we were packed but there is something I wanted to try that Lady Marmalade is known for its their super delicious waffles when I say these right here are the best buttermilk waffles I have ever tried in my entire life, I am not joking!!! & super moist, super flavourful, & the raspeberry compote was everything!!

Went on a weekday, no wait, they have an interesting menu with new items. The Benedicts are tastier than the rest of the menu. If you re getting the baked thing with parched eggs, I think the ham option is better than veggie.

A spacious, clean, and bright breakfast/lunch space in the east end! Came here on a Tuesday morning and they had no problem accommodating us. They don t take reservations, so make sure you go on a less busy day! Staff was kind. theres 2 levels - both of which are clean and maintained. Food was yummy!! My partner got a traditional breakfast and said the eggs were very fresh and local. All around a cute spot!

Follow @bredgyeats for yummy food pictures! No wonder theres a snaking queue every weekend at this spot - their egg benny and bread pudding are to wait for. The English muffins were delightfully airy, providing ample surface area for the rich, creamy hollandaise sauce and egg yolk to seep into, preventing you from wasting a single drop of that liquid gold. If that wasnt enough indulgence, the avocado adds a nutty creaminess to the dish that compliments the umami of the crispy bacon and the tang of the brie, which comprise of the perfect bite to fuel your morning. Home-style fries are a must, fried to a delicate crisp on the outside while still being tender inside. Finally, the salad provides a refreshing palate cleanser, finished off with a sweet and tangy Japanese-style dressing. Obviously, you cant have brunch without getting something sweet. What better than an entire load of a piping hot, freshly baked portion of bread pudding? With a subtle buttery aroma, the thick caramel sauce is an indulgent burst of sweetness and a fruity, banana aroma. Critical hit for me, cause I have a weak spot for banana-flavoured desserts. The fruit salad served on the side has a genius balance of acidity that pairs well with the caramel, and the ring of tangy strawberry syrup adds another dimension to alternating bites.

A Toronto classic! Famous for their eggs benedict and it never disappoints. Their home fries are very mediocre unfortunately. Service is excellent as well. Would recommend! p.s. if visiting on the weekend, be prepared to wait around 30 minutes!

First time here so I played it safe and had just the scrambled eggs with homefries and wholewheat toast and a side of sausage - well done please n thanx. The eggs were not mixed and the whites were very runny. The toast was DRENCHED in butter and the $4 side of sausage was 3 halved pieces of dry cold sausage. The eggs looked farm fresh, so theres that. The warm tap water was just gross. No one checked up on us. I read a ton of great reviews and the line up is what drew us in...for the last time. Sorry for the bad review, but that really did suck for $20.

Finally got to try this place out. Went on a weekday so there was no wait. Got seated upstairs. The space is big and bright with very high ceilings. However, with hard surfaces and the high floors it seems that noise carries well and it can get a bit on the loud side. If you want quiet, I would probably recommend the ground floor. I had a scrambled egg and rice dish which was really good. Never had anything like it before but would go back just to order it again. My wife liked her dish as well. The food was very good. Would recommend!

Artful space, friendly staff, hearty brunch! Modern two-level space where you can bathe in natural light and hanging plants. Brought family and our kids here and it was delightful for all. Croque mon + eggs Benny were kids loved their waffles, avec REAL MAPLE SYRUP, and wiped their plates clean. Parking: Parking was tricky for tourists or visitors. For for Toronto locals it s the usual roll-the-dice for paid street parking Kid-friendliness: Staff didn t bat an eyelash when they heard kids - instead they smiled, asked if they needed a high chair and simplified the daily waffle special happily. Washrooms are gender-neutral and are equipped with change tables

Generally it didnt worth the hype. We had to stand in line for 1h15m just because they dont have booking system. while waiter was saying it takes 45m max. We noticed multiple groups after us going in finishing their meals and we were yet standing. just bcuz they didnt want to attach tables together for a bigger group we had to wait. food was meh, and the froth for the milk on latte wasnt perfect either. Fun part, after 1h15m wait since we were table of 6,we had to pay the 18% tip... I know other restaurants have the same for this size group but they dont hold that group waiting under the rain and humid weather longer than every other groups either. The best meal was the Braised beef Torta and the eggs on Crepe croque monsieur was not cooked as it should have been. (pictures are included)

Met a friend here for brunch on a Friday around 10:30am - there was no lineup but it was already pretty busy, 90% of the tables were full. Ordered the huevos migas which I really enjoyed, it was flavorful and very filling. If I had to nitpick I would have preferred the green onion to be sliced a little smaller so they can be more evenly dispersed throughout the dish, as the long pieces were hard to eat.

Went in for a breakfast on Saturday to this busy and popular place. 20mins wait for a table of one. The food lacks a bit in terms of presentation, however it very much makes up to it on flavour and ingredients used. There was no service at all. Not provided with water, not even asked if I wanted water. No greeting after I ve sat down as well. What stroke me the most is the contrast when the two table next to me received exceptional service while I was ignored. I had to ask for water and bill three separate times until it was finally delivered to me.

★★★★★

The food here is delicious. I usually get the mango eggs benedict and it s next level amazing. You can t really taste the mango flavour and so it s not a sweet dish but there s an undertone of the mango - it s there but not overpowering at all. It s an excellent dish.

Lady Marmalade has the best Salmon Eggs Benedict in GTA. No one else comes close. Having said that to get those, you will most probably have to wait in a line for a little while on weekdays and Im assuming more than that over weekends. The service is quick and friendly. The coffee is just ok. The place itself is a bit narrow and feels crowded. The ambiance is done in earthy and light tones which makes it airy and well lit making it very pleasant. Highly recommended for fans of Eggs Benedict!

Was charged for tomatoes when it clearly says salad or tomatoes plus told us to leave when we were drinking our coffee because they had more people to sit - so rude! We come to this establishment often and was not pleased at all- we weren t there even one hour. Spoke to the manager and she had no answer for the tomato charge just hemmed and hawed about it.

Ordered pork eggs bennidict, hollindase was good, but the dish was poorly thought out and even more poorly executed.

If you don t mind the lineup, this is probably one of the best brunch spot in the city. We arrived around 11am on a Sunday and had to wait in the line for about 20 mins. I ordered the mango benny, my friends ordered the pulled pork benny and the cochinita torta. I recommend the bennys here, the mango salsa was delicious. We also really liked the salade dressing, it s a soy ginger mix that you can buy to take home. Besides the food, we also really liked the cozy interior. The service was good too.

I was overcharged $3 for a ham crepe croque made with mix of ham and veg suggested by the server herself. Server didnt offer to fix the billing problem. It is listed as $19 on the menu and there was no verbal disclosure of an upcharge. I visited on a weekday late lunch. No wait for a table. Tiny flies around the table unfortunately. Individual washrooms beside the tables. Restaurant requires climbing up a flight of stairs. I would not recommend based on the overcharge and lack of ethics.

Food- We got the The breakfast and Braised Benny. Its good but its not worth lining up for. I mean you can try for yourself but...its not anything mind blowing like the reviews say lol! Just tasted like an average breakfast to me. Ive tried way better brunch places in the city. I will say though, the ingredients are of good quality, theres just no seasoning to make it taste any better. - Vibe- The service is fantastic but the atmosphere is TERRIBLE. Family gatherings with babies, toddlers and strollers everywhere for the whole hour-or so we were there. Doesnt help that the place is congested already. Friendly reminder its not a playground...its a brunch restaurant. If your kids are ill-mannered keep them at home, we dont want to be bumped into and hear screaming at 9 am

Solid 4 stars, we come here every few months. I usually get the Poached Egg BLT but it s becoming way too overpriced for the quantity of food, two thin slices of bread, a couple of spinach leaves, a slice of tomato and a slice of avocado with two medium (maybe even small) eggs. My partner gets the Braised Beef Benny which they enjoy very much! Wish they would figure out a different waiting/line up system than just standing outside, there are apps for that.

Over all this was a very pleasant experience. We didnt have to wait too long for a table about 15 minutes on a long weekend around 11 am which is reasonable. The upper floor is very nice and bright and not chaotic and loud like many places. The braised beef benedict was really nice. The fries werent amazing but good. The bread pudding was also very delicious and had a massive dollop of toffee on it. I wish it had more fresh fruit but still very nice. All the ingredients were fresh and high quality even the coffee. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Prices are about average and similar to most brunch spots. My only complaint would be the home fries and the cutlery which looked beat up but thats nitpicking it and the experience was very satisfactory.

One of the best breakfast places I ve ever been to. Food had been excellent each time, atmosphere impeccable, and prices for quality right on the mark. They deserve at least two Michelin Stars. Vegetarian options: They have many vegetarian options. Dietary restrictions: They have dairy free options for coffee.

Went for breakfast on a Wednesday morning, were able to get seated for 2, no trouble. I ordered the braised beef benny, which was delicious, with a horseradish crema, tender beef and perfectly poached egg. My friend had the breakfast sandwich which was also great, and a pretty good size! We ordered a blueberry lemon bread pudding to share as well based off some of the reviews and were not disappointed. The bread pudding portion was huge and the lemon curd provided the perfect tangy sweetness to compliment the blueberry bread pudding. Drip coffee was also good and a well done decaf cappuccino! Would come back again!

Worth the money and the wait! There s a long queue outside the restaurant but we are so happy we made the right choice to not leave. I tried Huevos Migas which is a Mexican food inspired dish, LOVE IT!! The portion is so big that for the very first time I was not feeling hungry until 7 after I finished my brunch. Everything tastes really good! FYI, there will be a long wait if you don t have reservations (tbh I am not even sure they take the reservation or not ) so Be There Early!!

Good, great amount of food and overall good quality. We didnt wait to get a table, but there is often a line, and I think I would have been disappointed if I had to wait. It doesnt worth a 30-minute line (which is what they said when we first arrive, but a table got free after 5min)

Huge portion. FOOD: Build your own benny: it actually comes with bread, potato, salad but it doesnt say on the menu, I ended up order extra bread and salad. Mango salad taste a little weird because of the sauce. Sausage was tiny and tastes ok. Pull Pork Benny: I dont remember much about this but its decent, I like it better than the sausage. DRINKS: Cappuccino: coffee was ok, a little bland to my taste. SERVICE: theyre all very friendly VIBE: very small, you will have to line up outside because theyre very busy, tables are small and super close to each other.

Had a lovely brunch here last week. Only downside was where my companion was seated when I arrived: the table on the first floor, closest to the kitchen. The seat opposite the bench has a full ear shot of the kitchen, and I felt as though I was literally sitting beside our server as he chatted to their coworker. I could not concentrate, and I asked if we could be moved upstairs. The second floor felt like an entirely different restaurant experience- tons of sunlight, walls of plants, and communal tables. Once seated upstairs everything went smoothly. Both plates were delicious and service was great. Had we not moved upstairs, I would have definitely not wanted to return.

Super cozy spot perfect to catch up with some friends. Reasonable (Toronto) prices and good portion sizes. Flavour palette is clean, fresh and bright; reflecting the energy of the service. Place is very popular so prepare to wait a little bit. Went on a Sunday at 12 and waited around 25 min. A little rough in the winter, but I would imagine its lovely in warmer weather. I like to try different dishes, and I found that getting a breakfast plate + a dessert to split between 2 was perfect. Personally tried the Huevos Migas, Pulled Pork Benny and Bread Pudding; all lovely but the pulled pork was my favorite, being the more flavourful of the three.

THE BEST BRUNCH IN TORONTO! I continually come back to Lady Marmalade as the food is always high quality and delicious. If you are a beef lover you must try the braised beef eggs Benedict. It s to die for! I get it every time. Whenever I bring new friends here they are impressed with whatever they order! Although it is pricey you are getting a bang for your buck. Serving sizes are generous and the mains come with potatoes and a side salad. Moreover the side salad is the best I ve ever had. The kale mixed with the sweet balsamic dressing is perfection. I d come here just for the side salad!!! Plus the server s are always wonderful and accommodating.I really love this place! If you re thinking about eating here DO IT. Don t let the line scare you it moves really fast!

I would give it 4 stars because we had to stay in the lineup for an hour and they don t take reservations, which makes it quite inconvenient. If it wasn t for the lineup, we would ve definitely gone back

I went to Lady Marmalade on December 31 around noon. They told me it wasnt as busy, but all the tables were occupied. I guess they said that because there wasnt a line of people waiting outside. The restaurant is in a beautiful space, close to public transportation. Its a two-level house, and it is more spacious upstairs, where I sat. Even though the tables are close, you dont feel on top of the other guests. The food is delicious and made with quality ingredients. The portions are good, and the dishes are visually appealing; what you get is the same as what you see in the photos. I got the Moroccan Scramble with tofu, and it was amazing! The staff is excellent, attentive and friendly. Even though they were packed, I got my food pretty quickly. I most definitely recommend this spot.

If you have ever passed by this restaurant, you will almost always see a large line out the door. They don t take reservations, so you will want to line up early to get a spot; their food, however, definitely lives up to the hype! I came here with a group of friends for a friend s birthday. I had heard of this restaurant before, and it surpassed my expectations! The design of the restaurant is super cute with its wood-centric theme, and there are many plants throughout. Our server was kind and helpful. We appreciated her attentiveness even though it was so busy! I got the Breakfast Poutine and a lemonade. It was DELICIOUS!! The potatoes were piping hot, the gravy was delectable, and the cheese curds melted perfectly. I also LOVED the giant green onions on top. The lemonade was ice cold, refreshing, and not too sweet. I would highly recommend coming here for a delicious brunch. Just make sure to get in line early! Vegetarian options: Their menu is mainly vegetarian and vegan options.

This small place is great for Branch. We went to try this place on a Sunday morning. It is a very popular spot and we had to wait about 30 min before getting a table. However, the waiting time paid off. We both ordered eggs Benedict one with pulled pork and one with salmon. The hollandaise sauce was very creamy and covered the eggs perfectly. We enjoyed both dishes. The coffee was refilled multiple times. I am sure I will be back.

The food is really tasty; our meals came with salads that were really refreshing. They offer bottomless coffee and the service is great. Note: You cannot stay laid back after you eat, as there are many others waiting. Therefore, I recommend this place for the experience of their meals, not as a hangout. Go for the Moroccan Scramble!

Venturing into a less posh neighborhood led me to discover a hidden gem for brunch. The venue, though not in the fanciest locale, exudes a charm of its own. With seating options both downstairs and upstairs, it offers a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The beverage choices are diverse, catering to various preferences. Whether youre in the mood for a caffeinated kick, fresh juice, or even a brunch cocktail, the menu has you covered. Delving into the food options, the menu boasts a commendable variety. Opting for the salmon Benny, I found the salmons flavor a tad strong for my liking, but the poached egg was a revelation, perfectly executed and bursting with richness. A standout recommendation goes to the side waffle, a delightful addition that left a lasting impression. Its taste and texture were spot-on, making it a must-try for anyone visiting. Despite its location, this brunch spot manages to carve out its niche, offering a pleasing ambiance, a diverse menu, and some noteworthy dishes. Its a testament to the idea that culinary treasures can be found in unexpected places.

We had a lovely experience here! There was a line out the door when we arrived at 11:45, but they seated everyone very quickly, so the wait was minimal. The seats were comfortable, and the decor was tastefully done. Service was friendly, fast and helpful. The dishes were all very tasty - I especially enjoyed the salmon in the salmon benny... and the dessert bread pudding is delicious and quite soft. I will definitely return when back in the Toronto area.
