While Nirvana in Toronto has a cool vibe with its eclectic decor, it might not be the place for the best food at brunch.
I think it could be a fun place for drinks with a friend.
We had a large group, so I won’t address anything to do with service or staggered meal delivery since Nirvana isn’t really set up for large groups, and they were kind enough to accommodate us. The best: each of us was able to pay individually. Wonderful.
I started with a Caffe Latte. I was disappointed in the espresso at first sip. It was terrible. I love a good, fresh dark roast. This one tasted like it had been sitting in a coffee can for a year. And there were coffee grinds at the bottom of the cup. Yuck.
The girls having tea laughed, and rejoiced in their drink choice.
I ordered their Eggs Benedict ($9). The 2 eggs are perfect and the sauce good. What was odd was the ham. I had to look for the ham. I thought they left it off the plate. The ham was a small circle, the size of an average water glass bottom. They cut it in half and placed one half slice of ham per English muffin.
They serve the plate with plentiful sweet potato fries, ketchup and a spicy chipotle dip. A dish of fruit, containing 2 squares of melon, half a strawberry, a triangle of orange, a bit of apple and one grape accompanied the Eggs Benedict.
Overall we had an OK meal at Nirvana in Toronto.
Parking is metered on-street parking. Toronto’s “Green P” (parking) service offers pay machines with slips of paper you put on your windshield or there’s a Green P app you can download. The app will warn you when your time is nearly up and you can conveniently add time from the app directly.
Here are some other spots you may want to visit in Toronto.
