Early breakfast in Downtown Toronto

[gothlig]

I am accompanying someone who has a MRI scheduled for an unbearably early time midweek around University/College. By 5:30am-6am we'll be ready to start the REAL day with a fine breakfast. Any suggestions for a good place open that early? (BTW, the appetite of the "patient" is hearty and unconstrained.)

Fran's on College just West of Yonge used to be open 24 hours - not sure if it still is.
Corned Beef Hash used to be pretty good.

Yes that Fran's is still open 24/7.

If you're looking a treat to perk them back up, check out Tundra in the Hilton. They're open early and do a great breakfast for a reasonable price.

Oh, brings back memories of my husband's MRI appointment once - 3:30 am. Thankfully, he too was healthy and unconstrained.

I think that Cora on Carlton, just east of Yonge, opens at 6. There's also Mars on College, near Bathurst. Thompson Diner sounds like a good bet for the best of the bunch - I would think that some of the other hotels may be options as well. And assuming you have a car, the traffic is pretty non-existent at that hour so you can consider an extra few minutes in the car to chase that fine breakfast you're looking for.

Thompson is nicest if any stress associated with the test ; )

It's a little bit of a trek from where you will be, but the Thompson Diner @ Bathurst and Wellington is open 24 hours, and they serve a pretty good breakfast..
