Gilead Bistro

Chef Jamie Kennedy is something of a legend on Toronto's dining scene, thanks to several decades working in iconic kitchens including Scaramouche and his own Jamie Kennedy Wine Bar. His current restaurant is focused on breakfast and lunch, with dishes drawing from both his classical French training and his appreciation for the array of fresh ingredients grown around Toronto. The result is an ever-changing blackboard menu of simple and fresh creations ranging from a burger paired with Kennedy's famous frites, local perch served with warm potato salad, and at breakfast, house-made preserves. Stop by Gilead for Sunday brunch, when the menu includes bacon rosti with scrambled eggs and smoked whitefish on Red Fife pancake.
