Saturday breakfast/brunch restaturant/buffet recommendations in downtown Toronto!

[Queencaramel]

It's my husband's birthday on Saturday and I want to take him out for a really good breakfast. I'm looking somewhere nice, downtown, with either generous portions or a buffet . Cost doesn't matter..... I've heard raving about Hot House's SUNDAY buffet, which would have been ideal =0(

Any suggestions?

Hi there,
I host Saturday brunch every weekend. Here are some places that my friends and I enjoy:
Frank at the AGO
Zoe's Bakery & Cafe on King West
La Bodega in Kensington Market
Chez Cora
Barrio Lounge in Queen East
The Peartree Restaurant in Cabbagetown
Mildred's Temple Kitchen in Liberty Village

You might also want to try the Distillery District - I know Mill Street Pub & Restaurant do a Saturday brunch as well.

Cheers,

Are any of the above buffets?

Or, are any of the hotels in downtown Toronto of good value when it comes to brunch buffets?

The Boiler Room in the Distillery apparently has a very nice jazz buffet brunch on Sunday.

If you want the creme de la creme (for a price), the King Eddy does a beautiful buffet in their Cafe Victoria - complete with beef Wellington, lobster, etc.

How much would the King Eddy be!?

King Eddy will be $40+ per person. The Windsor Arms Hotel also does a brunch buffet on weekends. I suspect the price will be similar to the King Eddy. Call to be sure. Coquine does a decent brunch, but it's not buffet. The Miller also does a pretty good brunch prix fixe for 3 courses (one of which is a mimosa or bellini) or a la carte. I hear that the Globe does a nice brunch as well (I think they may also do a prix fixe or a la carte). I highly recommend the King Edward Hotel's brunch, if you don't mind the $$$. It's a pretty impressive spread that will please all types of eaters. I just focus on the seafood (oysters, lox, shrimps, mussels, smoked trout, poached salmon, seafood salad, etc.) and the veggies and I'm a happy girl. They do all manner of eggs and hot breakfast items too, as well as dessert. Go hungry!

Oh my gawd, that sounds lovely (the King Eddy one)... but it also sounds pricey! I think that would be a special occasion brunch! So, they do it for Saturday and Sunday? Or is it a Sunday brunch?
