On Harbord itself, between the bakeries, the bookshops and the back gardens.

Harbord Village keeps its own pace: independent shopfronts, a great bakery or two, and the quiet residential streets that run down toward the university. Ace Restaurant is on the main floor at 291 Harbord Street, on the corner of Manning.

It is the kind of brunch you can make a habit of. Families, students and locals fill the room through the week and on weekends. The kitchen is open from 8:00am until 10:00pm daily. After 4:00pm on weekdays and 1:00pm on weekends, service is patio, takeout pickup and delivery.

Walk over from anywhere in the village, grab the patio when it is warm, and stay a while.
