Evviva Breakfast and LunchB+

25 Lower Simcoe St, Toronto, ON M5J 0C8, Canada · Breakfast restaurant, American restaurant, Brunch restaurant · Waterfront Communities-The Island

A lively, tourist-adjacent brunch spot with a big menu, strong vegan coverage, and genuinely popular dishes, but you should expect occasional service bottlenecks and value pushback at the current prices.

Our take

Evviva delivers solid brunch performance with strong food quality and exceptional setting appeal in a vibrant downtown location. However, inconsistent execution across menu items and visits prevents a higher grade, and variable service speed during peak times creates friction despite generally attentive staff. The restaurant excels as a reliable, Instagram-friendly brunch spot but falls short of the consistency expected at grade A level.

One caveat: Some meals arrive cold, bland, or unevenly cooked, and that inconsistency shows up in multiple reviews.

Standout dishes

• French Toast / Frenchie Toast
• Traditional Eggs Benny
• Vegan Eggs Benny

What people love

• The rare feeling of a brunch spot that actually has options for vegans and vegetarians
• Big, photo-friendly plates that feel festive and filling
