Stepping into Daphne Toronto‘s patio feels like entering a secret garden in the heart of the city. With lush greenery, vintage inspired décor, and an atmosphere that’s at once playful and refined, Daphne offers a brunch experience that’s both magical and elevated, a perfect escape from the everyday.

We began with a pair of beautifully crafted non-alcoholic cocktails. The Botanist combined Seedlip Grove 42 with guava purée, lime, grapefruit, and soda for a refreshing, subtly complex drink. The Garden Tonic featured Seedlip Garden, cucumber syrup, lime, and tonic water, offering a crisp, light, and invigorating complement to the brunch menu.

For our sweet courses, we indulged in the Pancakes, served with berry compote, lemon curd, coconut, and a maple & date syrup blend. The French Toast was equally impressive, topped with poached Concord grapes, Calvados crème anglaise, and maple syrup, a decadent yet take on a brunch classic.
