O'SOMAE

Cute and clean brunch and lunch location on Broadview with delicious food, creative drinks, and massive portions. We went as a group and were honestly surprised at the portions and quality of the food. Staff were friendly and prompt with their service and food was brought out quickly after ordering.I had the duck confit waffles and everything was prepared perfectly. Waffles were fresh and the duck easily came off rhe bone. The portion was two to three times what I would have for lunch so it's definitely shareable!I was surprised the restaurant wasn't as busy as the other popular brunch location just down the street that always has a line up. Hopefully more people learn about O'Somae and consider it as well!

A very cute brunch restaurant that actually has very good food. The portions are great and definitely worth the money. The fried chicken is super juicy and flavourful while they give you maple syrup AND a blueberry chutney which compliments it well. I highly recommend going here if you are in the mood for a delicious brunch. It’s located in small chinatown so its easy to find parking on the street.

Great place at Gerrard and Broadview Ave. Attentive staff and fast service. Chicken waffle is a must try but theres other options too. Big serving so come hungry. Food can be shareable. Fries and burgers options are great too.

Finally went in to try the good looking food at this brunch spot with the family. No doubt the food looks beautiful as it comes out, and the menu is also fun with a lot of comfort food options - such as mac n cheese, fried chicken, and even duck confit.I really wanted to love it and have another brunch spot to add to our repertoire, but I think the kicker for me was ordering the Beet and fruit smoothie and expecting to taste beets and fruit. Instead it was just overpowered by the simple syrup that was used to sweeten it. When I order fruits and veggies in a smoothie, I never expect it to be sweetened by anything other than its own fresh ingredients (maybe offer additional artificial sweetening for those who want it). Smoothie = health boost in the mornings for me and my 4 yr old and even he commented on the sweetness (we have green smoothies at home on the regular). So if ordering smoothies here, make it a point to ask for no additional sweetening.From there, while our plates of food were bountiful I found my duck confit dish a tad bit on the salty side (think the fried herbed Mac n cheese was the culprit). Also I found the fries on both plates a bit too much. When having something as rich as the duck, a side salad would have been more balanced or much fewer fries. The farmers market breakfast was by far our favourite dish - which to me says that keeping it simpler is the way to go here.My son loved his chicken and waffles and even the parents thought that was a decent enough plate…again, with too many home fries. The salad and dressing on there was top notch though!I’d like to give this place another try, simply because the staff are great, the menu is fun, and the place is comfortable and available (unlike the lineup outside lady marmalade). Perhaps we should give the eggs Benny a try next time.

I ordered the duck waffles and it was super good. But the portion is very big, I got bloated the whole day after. I think you should share that instead of ordering a whole thing for yourself. The matcha I ordered was not good. No flavour. Overall, I like the waffles.

Amazing interior decor, nice food.It was a business lunch, weekday, not crowded at all, everyone enjoyed. Egg Benedicts are probably one of their signatures, perfectly made. Duck confit is superb superb superb! So tender, juicy, seasoned just right, so soft that the bone comes out with a soft pull. Another stunning thing is, they don't use cheese slice in the burger, but grilled mac&cheese, omg, I can't resist it.Service was ok.The fries are too salty.

I’ve been here three times in the past two weeks and I am obsessed. This place is so relaxing and so posh. I love the entire experience of the restaurant. I highly recommend this place for a day out with friends, family or even just wanting to eat on your own. So far I’ve had the salmon benny and the farmers breakfast and I give them both a 10/10! Their drinks are also lovely! I’ll be back again shortly!

Left to Right:1. Chicken and waffles- rating 4.5 starsThe chicken was seasoned and cooked to perfection. Potatoes were also well seasoned crispy on the outside and soft on the inside The only reason I took off the .5 is because the waffle was not fluffy and moist on the inside like I like it. For the people who enjoy a crispy waffle texture, you will like it.2. Pulled Duck Benny- rating 5 ++ starsThis dish was amazing and I have nothing to say about it except TRY IT!!!I will be going back for this many times.3. Crab Cake Mac & Cheese- rating 2 starsThis dish did not do it for me at all.The crab cake was not to my liking.I was chewing into crunchy bits that felt like shell and the flavour was too “fishy” but not in a good way. I ended up taking off all the crab and eating only the Mac and Cheese because anything that hadn’t touched the crab was actually not bad.Overall I give this restaurant 4 stars.But the Duck Benny has won me in and I will definitely be back.The service was also pretty good and the restaurant itself is really well decorated. Minimal but playfully romantic.

Great place for brunch, great addition to neighborhood. We had Matcha Latte, Papina Colada, Crab Cake Benny & Duck confit Waffles. All delicious, service excellent, clean restaurant and washrooms.

We are having a quick business lunch here. The environment is clean and cozy. The staff are nice and helpful. The duck confit burger is a must-try item as it comes with a whole duck thigh. My Classic Benny (Egg Benedict) is cooked perfectly. The york is juicy and comes out like lava. Their latte are good. The duck benny comes with duck meat covered with poached egg is very innovative. After this meal, I have enough energy to focus my work in the afternoon.
