Thoroughbred

Despite having lived in Toronto for half my life, I’m so pleased to constantly find places that I’ll continue to visit over and over again. I decided to try Thoroughbred last weekend after hearing rave reviews from friends, and really, what could be a better way to spend a rainy Sunday morning than with pancakes and eggs benny?

Things were off to a great start when the restaurant presented us with a bok choy dish on the house, which was really only a teaser for what was to come.

The Jerk Chicken Hash.

The Grilled Cheese Eggs Benny (yes there is such a thing). But this is no regular grilled cheese eggs benny, I subbed the peameal bacon for fried chicken because YOLO. Guys, I recommend you drop everything and run to Thoroughbred at this very moment to try this dish.

The Fried Chicken & French Toast, which I hear was excellent.

The potato wedges.

And finally, the Gingerbread Pancake Party, courtesy of the restaurant, which cemented their spot on my top 10 brunch spots list.

Because of its location, Thoroughbred is easy to pass by without even noticing, but I truly think it’s one of Toronto’s hidden gems.

Guys, if you haven’t been here yet, I strongly recommend you go. The staff are super friendly, the restaurant itself is cozy, and the food is out of this world.
