Brunch in South Etobicoke encapsulates all the usual bacon and eggy dishes you could ask for and that's not all. In this pocket of Toronto, you'll also find vegan, English, Eastern European and Mexican options.

Here are my picks for the top brunch spots in South Etobicoke.

Goodlake
Brunch at this relaxed New Toronto restaurant includes classic eggs Benedict, multigrain French toast and apple braised pork shoulder served with savoury bread pudding, crispy fried leeks and an optional fried egg.

Huevos Gourmet
Mexican and French foods mingle on the menu at this daytime joint on Lakeshore West. The all day breakfast includes omelettes and eggs Benedict alongside huevos rancheros, breakfast burritos and quesadillas.

Kitchen on Sixth
British comfort food is the specialty at this New Toronto kitchen where brunch on weekends runs from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Expect to find full English breakfasts, Benedicts built on crumpets and corned beef hash topped with poached eggs and doused in hollandaise.

Sugar For My Honey
Open from 9 a.m. on weekends, this European eatery on Lakeshore West is the place to go for palatschinken (Austrian crepes). You can also find Austrian breakfasts featuring an assortment of cold cuts and cheese with bread, butter and jam, plus frittatas loaded with red peppers, potatoes and onions.

Thrive Organic Kitchen
Short stacks of quinoa pancakes, sprouted French toast and breakfast platters packed with eggs or scrambled tofu with vegan sausage or tempeh bacon are on the docket at this massive vegetarian cafe on Lakeshore West.
