Brunch Ideas for New Years Day?

I'm looking for a nice brunch spot in and around the Toronto area that will be open on New Year's Day (Sunday).

Any suggestions?

    Thanks for all the suggestions! We ended up going to C5 at the ROM.

      Add to all these lists just about every hotel restaurant. We are off to Tundra, liked it enough last year.

        If you're in the west end I know Mitzi's, Hadley's and Habits are open. Wherever you go you better get there early!

          Keep in mind when looking, Mitzi's Sister on Queen West is now just called The Sister.

                Beast is open. On the east end, Hammersmith's is open. You can't go wrong with either for brunch.

                  What's good at Beast brunch? I would like to try it again with hopes of a better experience.

                    I haven't been in a while, but the McBeastwich is very high on my list of things I need to try there for brunch.

                      I didn't realize their brunch menu is always changing. We had a dud meal and never went back.

                      Thanks for the heads up!! I found the McBeastwich on flickr and it looks awesome.

                      Here's to a food filled 2012!

                        Doesn't it? Between the description and photos, I'm just about crying. Must. Eat. Mcbeastwich.
