The Berkshire bacon (as described as saltier, tastier, from England,..) is just like the regular bacon, IMHO..
Scott BorchertFebruary 26, 2010Great place for down home food. Prices are cheap and the food is excellant. It'll remind you of your local coffee shop, great prices, great food, great people!
The Senator RestaurantMarch 21, 2014HEY #toronto, if you're around @YDSquare or @toeatoncentre we've got you covered for #dinner AND #latenight #drinks.
Try the Senator Omelette with a side of Pea-meal Bacon. It's a Toronto classic.
Karen BirssAugust 18, 2014Coffee was rich and smooth and pancakes were being fought over at our table.
- If you like your eggs cooked in butter, this is the place to go!
Katya RyabovaMarch 11, 2016Unless the whole party is present, they won't seat you. Annoying on the weekends.
Jodi SpanningaSeptember 23, 2010They say it's the oldest restaurant in Toronto, no msgs or preservatives, no benedict either, but food is really delicious!
Amir M.December 2, 2015It was pretty good but not as good as 45 minutes waiting in the queue on Saturday morning.- Mario MizziOctober 5, 2016I had the salmon eggs Benedict. Too expensive for what you get and hardly give you any salmon. Steer clear of this joint, in spite of its publicity. I never come back
Natalie GarsideMay 22, 2010Highly recommend the herb roasted chicken and mashed potatoes. Simple and absolutely delicious!
Sometimes on weekends there's a big lineup so plan accordingly.
Jamillah RossAugust 26, 2013The service here is awful. My food came 20mins after the rest of my group. The bacon was under cooked! I can't finish this food! It STINKS!- Ahmad ObayJune 20, 2018The senator breakfast was dry. Orange tasted off. Ridiculously overrated and overpriced. Service is good though.
Emily Smith van BeekJuly 28, 2012Terrible service, cold food and can't do basic math so they try to jip you on your bill. I'll never go back.
ClauJanuary 26, 2014El desayuno es realmente delicioso! Súper recomiendo Benedict Popeye es delicioso!!
