    I love these low cost high quality discoveries you find. And the portions were really generous. I feel so sorry for these businesses that had to shut down for so long. But they've earned their right to survive. It's another addition to our long growing "Tim's" bucket list:) Sending Best Wishes and Blessings, James and Kim ❤️

    Does anyone here in Toronto remember the Richtree Marche at Bayview and York Mills and the crepes and Rosti they had there? I love how it was like a station setup, it was so fun and interactive.

    Once or twice a year I've come here with family for a special occasion -- A birthday, or Mother's Day. You can never go wrong, but if you want to eat there on Mother's Day you must make a reservation! This is one of Toronto's best kept Church St. Village secrets.
    The food is rich, and well made -- restaurant quality, they don't go cheap on the buffet.

    Hey Tim, great to see you back in Toronto! We've passed by The Hothouse many times, but have never stopped in. After seeing the Sunday Brunch Buffet, we'll have to give it a try. We're heading to Vancouver in the spring, to stay for the summer, so we're going to rewatch some of your videos for some great places to eat. Cheers :)

It was my Grandmother's specialty and I loved it! Have never seen for sale in any venue tho! Thanks for taking a try of it 🙂! I don't like French toast - but that topping! I would have to give that a try. Once again, thank you for sharing in your delightful way!

    This also reminds me of the Novotel hotel breakfast buffet in North York. They stopped having the Mother's Day open to public buffet and the ladies at the desk were snobs to me saying I couldn't have a table unless I stay at the hotel. But this is like so AMAZING and is the exact thing I've been looking for a breakfast buffet. I also know of Mother Tucker's by the airport and miss Frankie Tomatoe's since they closed down. This is so nice to see! Another two buffets are; Copcabana and Rodeo

    $35 seems like a great deal for such a great looking buffet especially in Toronto during these inflationary times. I don't know how the owners can afford to do this! It would be interesting to know what the prices were pre-covid? This would be a good way to gauge how much the major grocery chains (Loblaws, Metro) have used covid as an excuse to rip-off all of us!
    I'm glad to see that the Hot-House survived the controlled demolition of small businesses in Toronto during the Covid insanity. It is a Toronto institution that has been around for over 20 years as far as I am aware.
    In the late '90's and early 2000's I used to go to the flea market almost every Sunday at the St. Lawrence market with my best friend. We were both vegetarians back then so I never went there for brunch thinking I wouldn't get my money's worth, but I remember always looking through the windows drooling at the amazing spread of food inside. I'm no longer a vegetarian but other factors prevent me from going today.

I really like Shakshuka but i have never seen it in a buffet. The end piece is the best piece or the edges rather especially the corners. That desert station was small but that's all they needed had some really good looking picks coconut ice cream made me want that with grilled pineapples and peaches good stuff. Nice looking place.
