"Their Belgian waffles are truly unbeatable. On a sunny day, there's nothing better than grabbing a seat on the patio."

LPD has been my go-to brunch spot in the neighbourhood for the past five years I've lived in Toronto. Their Belgian waffles are truly unbeatable. On a sunny day, there's nothing better than grabbing a seat on the patio and enjoying your morning here.

"This is the only place I know in the GTA that makes Brussels style waffles and it has become my gold standard."

Best waffles ever! This is the only place I know in the GTA that makes Brussels style waffles and it has become my gold standard when having waffles. Nothing comes close to this. It's super light and crispy and absolutely delicious.

"My everyday brunch go-to for 7+ years. Known for the best, real Belgian waffles in TO."

Le Petit Dejeuner is a true neighbourhood gem. My everyday brunch go-to for 7+ years. Known for the best, real Belgian waffles in TO. But their benny's, lunches and dinners are also special. Super fresh, made with care and fantastic vintage vibe. Great energy, relaxed, fun. Amazing staff.

For our anniversary, my wife took me to breakfast downtown. She loves eggs Benedict, and found this restaurant via ChatGPT of all things. It's cozy, has character, and the food was excellent. My wife claimed the eggs Benedict were the best she's ever had.
