Ramona’s Kitchen ( Leaside)

I’m a tough one to impress when it comes to brunch spots, but they totally won me over! First off, every dish is beautifully presented with colorful, high-quality ingredients. The menu is super creative with something for everyone healthy options or full-on indulgence.nnThey’ve got fresh-pressed juices and a bunch of unique hot drinks like lavender blue matcha. Now, service is a big deal for us, and you can tell the staff here is really well-trained. Even during a busy rush, everyone was friendly, quick, helpful and every single waiter said goodbye when we left. nnThe host I’m guessing she’s the owner and if she’s not, she totally should be! made us feel so welcome even though the place was packed. While we waited, she recommended dishes and even gave us homemade cookies to take home. Honestly, service was above and beyond and we’re super picky about that.nnHuge congrats on such a successful location. We’ll DEFINITELY be back!

I found Ramona Cafe through Google Reviews — the ratings were super high, so I decided to check it out with my best friend for her birthday. Turns out it's actually a chain with a few locations! We went to one of them for brunch, and the experience was great from start to finish.nnThe staff was incredibly friendly — they even sang happy birthday to my friend, which was such a sweet surprise. The place isn’t very big, but we had made a reservation, so we were seated right away.nnI ordered an omelette, and it was genuinely delicious — huge portion, very much in the style of a classic American breakfast. Super filling and well-seasoned. We also shared a dessert a slice of cake which was sweet, rich, and surprisingly good — definitely on the sweeter side, but we loved it.nnOnly downside: parking was tricky, probably because it’s in Midtown, and there’s no free parking nearby. That said, I’m planning to check out one of their other locations next time — this one was a bit far for me, but I’d gladly go again.nnAll in all, the high Google rating is well-deserved. I’d give it a solid 5 stars — not because it’s absolutely perfect, but because it’s consistently good, welcoming, and the whole experience exceeded expectations.

We’ve been meaning to try Ramona’s Kitchen for a while and finally made it in for brunch.nnWe had the Burger Benedict and the Schnitzel Sandwich — both were delicious.nnThe service was phenomenal; our server was incredibly kind and attentive.nnThe atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a beautiful interior and an open-style kitchen that added a nice touch to the dining experience.nnOverall, a fantastic brunch spot we’re glad we finally visited!

We have been to this restaurant for brunch multiple times and it never disappoints. One of our favourite items is their crab cake Benny with shrimps. Services are always excellent. Not only do they allow you to bring your furry friend to their front patio, they even have a bag of treats for them.

We visited this cozy breakfast spot on a Sunday morning around 9:30 AM and had a 15–20 minute wait, which is reasonable for a weekend. The staff was very welcoming, and though the place is small, it has a warm and inviting atmosphere. They also have a patio, which might be a great option in the summer.nnThe food quality was excellent,everything tasted fresh, and the portions were generous. I especially appreciated the fresh salad that came with the meal, not just a random mix of greens. The omelette ingredients were high quality, and the homemade three color fries were amazing.nnThe coffee was good,better than the free coffee some places offer, with a decent taste. The pancakes were delicious, As for the burger, it was just okay. However, I think a kids’ menu would be a great addition since the portions were quite large for a child. It would also be nice to have the option to swap the salad for something like a pancake without extra charges.nnOverall, if you’re looking for a high quality brunch, I recommend this place. The service was fantastic,our server, Sherry, and another lady who seemed to be the manager were both very kind. The restaurant was also very clean. While the pricing felt a bit on the higher side, considering the quality of ingredients and service, it was justified. These days, everything is expensive anyway, but I do wish it was slightly more affordable so we could visit more often.nn5 stars for food, service, and cleanliness.
