The Over Easy restaurant on Bloor near Avenue Rd is a trendy breakfast/lunch spot. The downtown location is also well attended. It is the centre of the downtown hub and always busy. I was meeting my niece who was on her way back to Montreal after a family visit in St Catherines. Toronto was just a stop over for a few hours. This worked out perfectly for both of us.
Over Easy offers all day breakfast and lunch from 7 am -3 pm. It is located behind the lobby of the Hotel Victoria just north of Wellington St.
My niece ordered the Healthy Light. ($10.99) A large bowl was filled with fresh fruit, a layer of granola and honey and served with a muffin.
I also was in a healthy frame of mind trying to get over the woes of too much holiday food. I ordered A Complete Healthy Meal.($10.99) An egg white scramble was served with fresh fruit salad, hot oatmeal. Multigrain toast and a slice of tomato.($10.99) It was delicious and I felt so virtuous enjoying my healthy food. Soups and Salads are popular items for lunch. The Big Salad is prepared with mixed greens, feta cheese, black olives, marinated tomato, cucumber and purple onion.($12.99) Salad Nicoise is a classic item with albacore tuna, tomato, boiled new potatoes, black lives, hardboiled egg, asparagus and anchovies served with a balsamic vinaigrette.($13.99)

If you are in the mood for a wrap or a sandwich you will have many choices. The classic Sandwiches are served on white, whole wheat or multi grain bread. French fries, salad or soup is also on the side. The California Vegetarian Wrap is filled with avocado, sundried tomatoes, caramelized onions, asparagus, goat’s cheese, tomato and lettuce. ($11.95)

This is hearty food to start the day. The portions are generous and the food is affordable. The variety is amazing.
No wonder both locations are always busy. For breakfast or lunch this is an ideal spot.
