This cozy Corktown diner is a weekend brunch favourite and a budget-friendly hangout for George Brown students. Church pews, thrift-store mirrors and kitschy tableware add to the charm, while the menu features an assortment of sandwiches, a daily omelette and soup. A traditional pan bagna (which translates unappetizingly to “wet bread”) is essentially a Niçoise salad on a bun. Here, it’s done vegetarian style (we add sliced ham for a quarter), with some assembly required: the loads of fresh greens, sliced tomatoes, onions, black olives and piave cheese seem as though they couldn’t possibly fit inside the crisp Ace Bakery bun, but we manage to wrangle it all together. A bowl soup ($4) adds a little warmth before we head back out into the cold.
The cost: $5.50, with tax and tip
The time: About an hour, arriving just after the lunch rush
Morning Glory, 457 King Street E. (at Gilead Pl.), 416-703-4728.
