Golden Griddle located at 146 Laird Drive in Toronto

Before heading to the Science Centre for a day of fun, we enjoyed breakfast at the Golden Griddle at their Leaside location.  It was a quiet spot for breakfast on a snowy winter day.  Since it was the 29th of December, many people might have either been at work or off for the holidays so we didn’t see too many people inside at this homey restaurant.  Golden Griddle is a family-friendly restaurant franchise serving western and casual style breakfasts, lunches, and dinners across the GTA.

I chose the Omelette Classic which had three eggs available with different toppings and served with a choice of three buttermilk, buckwheat, or grain pancakes or toast with homefries.  I chose the option of having feta, spinach, black olives, and tomatoes on my omelette with grain pancakes.  Ken also chose the Omelette Classic but with Swiss cheese, spinach, and grilled mushrooms and with toast and homefries.

Omelette Classic with three grain pancakes. $10.99

It was a really comfy and cozy restaurant to have breakfast at on a wintry morning.

I enjoyed my Omelette Classic with feta, spinach, black olives, and tomatoes.  It was definitely a very healthy and clean omelette as was Ken’s.  The feta cheese really was a good mix with the omelette.  The homefries were crispy and crunchy.  I really liked the grain pancakes.  They were healthy and you could taste the hard grains in every bite.
