Canada’s busiest brunch day is just around the corner: Mother’s Day. For those looking for advice on where to treat mom, we’re thrilled to announce the 100 Best Brunch Restaurants in Canada 2018.
Restaurants from coast to coast round out the list, with Ontario having the most restaurants featured (37), followed by British Columbia with 27 and Alberta with 18. Quebec (11), Manitoba (4), Newfoundland (2), and Nova Scotia (1) also have establishments in the top 100.
From sustainable dining such as Vancouver’s Forage with its commitment to farm-to-table fare and the rustic elegance at The Lake House in Calgary to Canadian comfort food at Toronto’s Bannock, this year’s list features an extensive variety of brunch destinations moms will enjoy.
Canada’s 100 Best Brunch Restaurants is generated solely from more than 550,000 restaurant reviews collected from verified OpenTable diners between April 1, 2017, and March 31, 2018. All restaurants with a minimum “overall” score and number of qualifying reviews were included for consideration. Qualifying restaurants were then scored and sorted according to the percentage of reviews for which “hot spot” was selected as a special feature.
