    During a work trip to Toronto, Canada, I got to explore the downtown area. Hoping to explore the St Lawrence Public Market on a Sunday, I was surprised that the market is closed on Sundays!
    Wondering the streets of Toronto, looking for places to eat, I was happy to see that right down the street was a legendary place for a great Sunday Brunch and it get even better because it's a buffet!
    It's nice to see the HOTHOUSE brining back their legendary Sunday Brunch Buffet after a long while and even more happy to get to experience it. Canadian staples of hot French toast who maple syrup, roast beef and ham, and an assortment of wonderfully prepared Italian style hot dishes from the pastas to the seafood.
    Thank you for joining me on this Sunday afternoon! Great food and a couple of mimosas as well!

    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 ❤️

    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 :)

    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.

    Had to look for another breakfast buffet video after this morning's new video...what a lovely city and that buffet place looks really nice I love the way they have the food presented, everything looks so good. 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.

    $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.

    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
