Edward Levesque’s Kitchen

1290 Queen E, at Hastings, 416-465-3600. In the blogosphere, Levesque has a reputation for being a bit of a curmudgeon. But once past the grumpy persona, find a chef who’s committed both to the environment and to the comfort of his regulars. Best: Montasio Frico, fried cheese pancake with asparagus, poached egg and salad latkes topped with Kristapsons smoked salmon, sour cream and chives blueberry waffles with whipped honey and mascarpone toasted cumin- and chili-rubbed steak with two sunny-side-up eggs or organic greens. Open Thursday and Friday 11:30 am to 3 pm, Saturday and Sunday 9 am to 3 pm, holiday Mondays 10 am to 3 pm. Licensed. Access: four steps at door, washrooms in basement. Rating: NNNN $$

Joy Bistro

884 Queen E, at Booth, 416-465-8855. This expansive east-side eatery has always been one of the better breakfast spots in town. Now with new owners and Bryan Burke, a former Jamie Kennedy sous, in the kitchen, Bistro is more of a joy than ever. Open Saturday and Sunday 8 am to 4 pm. Licensed. Access: barrier-free. $$
