Brunch in the west end

Brunch in Little Italy, done properly.

On the main floor at 291 Harbord Street, on the corner of Harbord and Manning, Ace Restaurant is your Saturday and Sunday brunch spot in Palmerston-Little Italy.

We kept the menu short and the welcome long. Two eggs and peameal under glossy hollandaise, souffle pancakes that wobble, avocado toast done right, and a coffee that keeps coming. When you want more than breakfast, a full lunch and dinner menu is right behind it.

It is the kind of brunch you make a habit of: locals from Harbord Village, students walking up from the university, friends spilling over from a College Street night. Walk in, or save a table for the weekend.
