The Top 100 Brunch Restaurants in Canada 2024 Methodology*

OpenTable’s Top 100 Brunch Restaurants in Canada for 2024 is generated from over 1.3 million verified OpenTable diner reviews and dining metrics from February 1, 2023 – January 31, 2024. Restaurants with a minimum threshold of diner reviews were considered and evaluated by a compilation of unique data points, including diner ratings, the percentage of five star reviews, the number of alerts set, the percentage of reservations made in advance and direct searches. Metrics were weighted to comprise an overall score. The qualified restaurants were then ranked by the percentage of reviews with the tag “brunch”. The resulting list appears A-Z, not in ranked order.
