Pancakes or French Toast for Dinner!

Hi everyone,

Sometimes I get in the mood to have a big platter of pancakes or french toast for dinner. There are some places that do have breakfast all day, but very few will include pancakes/french toast (sweet breakfast items) for dinner... most just have a couple egg dishes.
Any ideas where I can get pancakes or french toast for dinner? I'm okay with diner-style, as long as its clean and okay to eat in. Downtown or East GTA, if possible!
Thanks in advance!

    Just to verify - The Counter does have an option of three dinner-plate sized pancakes, one with sausage embedded, one with bacon embedded, and a third, plain one with an egg on top. Ridiculously large. Bad-to-meh.

      If you deign to eat at Pickle Barrel, you can get their French toast at dinnertime.

        Great question - wish I had a good answer for you as I've been peeking at this thread for awhile now. Golden Griddle's crepes were so bad that I wouldn't ever recommend anything else from there - but that's to be expected. Same with Frans. Wouldn't be surprised if The Counter offered them too, but it'd be a terrible rec as well!
        I've had French Toast /w Foie Gras as a dinner appetizer from Brasaii before - but wasn't a fan. Wish I had a good rec for you!

        I realize that this is a downer-reply, but just my two cents anyways...you just made me pop a couple of Eggos in the toaster though - my backup quick breakfast-for-dinner staple :(

                Just thought of another place -- Ontario Bistro at Dundas and Ontario. They are known for their pancakes. However, I don't actually know if they are still open, as their web site is down.

                  I know this is an old thread, but after having a late breakfast at Future today, I have to say -- don't do it. Worst breakfast I've ever paid for. Dry, overcooked eggs with soggy vegetables and limp potatoes, not to mention horrible coffee. BF and I agreed we would've had better at Boom, of all places.

                  I *think* that Terry's at Bellamy and Ellesmere (same plaza as Federick's) does all-day breakfast with the full breakfast menu. And honestly, it's the type of place that would probably make them for you anyway if you asked.

                    I've passed Terry's tons of times on my way to Feddy's.....solid diner?

                      I've only ever had breakfast there, which is a solid diner breakfast. Never tried anything else!
