Lawrence

This Mile End mainstay serves up haute Anglo fare made with ingredients from Québécois family farms. Weekend brunch regulars rise early in anticipation of scones with jam and clotted cream and boudin noir – black pudding served on soda bread with spinach and fried eggs. Though lunch and dinner are rumored to be just as compelling, you're unlikely to find a more pleasant place to ease into Sunday than Lawrence's airy dining room, with its smart charcoal walls and handsome wooden tables bathed in soft, thin morning light. Get there in a hurry (lest the last batch of scones be spoken for) then caffeinate slowly and contentedly.
