French Toast the size of your head? You'll find that - alongside other modern takes on brunch and lunch classics - at .
The North 鶹ýӳdaytime spot, which opened in 2019, is run by Top Chef Canada alum Chef Dawn Doucette and team. It's a bright, cozy contemporary diner with a trim menu of approachable, hearty eats made using fresh, local ingredients.
You might also know Douce Diner for its popular fried chicken take-out meals (they call it ). The crew here does chicken well - you can even get an Eggs Benny made with a perfectly poached egg perched atop panko-crusted chicken for a decadent breakfast bite.
Speaking of decadent, on the weekends is when they serve their signature French Toast, which is a massive portion of the eggy bread dish that comes topped with lemon curd, mascarpone, and berries.
But if savoury is more your speed, they do a wicked good French Onion Grilled Cheese (don't sleep on the side of their homemade pickles, either). A few dashes of their house-made hot sauce will kick things up a notch, too.
I recently (re)visited this lively diner for a weekend feast. Check it out in the video below.
Douce Diner is located at 1490 Pemberton Ave in North 鶹ýӳand is open daily from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
You’ll only find this epic French Toast during weekend brunch. 🎙️@Ի¸
