Bruch here is SPEC-TA-CU-LAR! Officially my new favorite brunch spot... by a landslide. Everything we had was next level. The Eggs Benny was superb - the peameal bacon is cured in-house and was cooked to perfection, not soggy not dry, the perfect thickness. The hollandaise sauce was exquisite - silky, rich, yet light, like a luxurious blanket - nothing soggy, lumpy, overly salty about it. Poached eggs were perfection, not even a hint of lingering vinegary taste you get everywhere that had me almost swear off ordering eggs benny altogether. Home fries were the right amount of crispy and not too salty (miracle). Even that kale side salad was perky and properly dressed. But the excellence just kept coming.Thank gahhhd we ordered that side of bacon and steak - cuz they were friggin amazing. So amazing that I actually asked why the bacon was so good, perfect thickness, excellent taste - and was told it's also made in-house! That piece of steak would hold it's own next to some fries as a dinner item - it's phenomenal. Whatever cut that is, it's moist, flavourful, and gorgeously prepared - a very far cry from the shabby, tasteless, chewy write-offs that you get from most places with 'steak and eggs' on the menu. Whatever you got, get that side steak too! It's not too much. You will not regret it. I can't stop thinking about it.We also got the Cinnamon French Toast - it's bruch after all - which was superb - light, not too sweet, whipped cream was obviously fresh and home made - a very classy touch.Service was super friendly and attentive, and the vibe here was perfect for brunch, and the quality for the price has to be one of the best in the city. Get you some brunch here ASAP!

I love this local. The French fries are to die for. Their taste in beer is spot on. The patio is phenomenally hidden and storybook-like. And the Wednesday night regular band - Peter Graham And The Voyagers is one of my fav mid-week stops. Would also highly recommend the brunch on the weekend!

Great drinks, great food. I’ve been to Wheelans many times and always leave happy. The burger is genuinely one of the best in the city, the schnitzel is perfect, best I’ve ever had outside of Germany and Austria. You can tell everything is made from scratch and in house. Stellar food in such a cozy casual atmosphere with great service. This place is definitely a hidden gem.

Have been in a few times and the service and food has been great! They have managed to take seemingly simple menu items and execute them very well. Love the fried brussel sprouts. Or, if you're in for brunch their cheesy scrambled eggs and deep fried French toast are delicious. Staff are also friendly and kind. Would recommend!

Whelan’s makes for a great local, if you’re looking for a chill spot with friends, or a cozy date. The old wood panelling makes for a great vibe with friendly regulars and some total gems on staff!Good draft selection and cocktails. Tasty eats. And unexpectedly good live music + trivia.

It may be a surprise, but the wings here are some of the best you'll ever have. They serve whole wings, not just flatties and drumsticks. Great sauces to choose from and a decent price for what you get. It's a bit small as a bar, and there aren't 100 places to sit, but if you are lucky enough to get a seat, order the wings and thank me later.

I’m not even a brunch person and they have me hooked. I’ve tried most of their brunch items and I have no idea which is my favourite because they’ve all been truly incredible. Though I highly recommend getting any savoury dish to start, then splitting the french toast (it’s to die for). I think that’s the move.

I loved this pub so much I got married here!We had a small ceremony (20 people) on the dreamy back patio and a medium reception (55 people) on the upper floors. Steve and his staff were a dream to work with. I won't get into all the details but it was like working with a proper wedding planning team with the benefit (and cost!) of a casual, cozy pub wedding. Everyone raved about the food and the staff.It's so cliche but it was the best night of my life.These are just some snaps from friends' phones. I may update when I get the professional photos.
