Doro Dines: O’SOMAE

I am your very typical millennial: slightly overworked, usually juggling 1-2 side projects, and extremely fond of brunch. During my trip to Toronto in April 2022, I had the opportunity to try a new brunch spot in East Chinatown with 3 amazing friends!

O’SOMAE is located at Gerrard St E and Broadview Ave, located in Toronto’s East Chinatown. Broadview is the closest TTC station (17 min walk or 7 min bus). They serve your typical western brunch fare with poutines, burgers, waffles, bennies, and traditional American breakfasts. O’SOMAE also offers beautiful brunch picnic boxes (takeout only) that appeared to be all the rage during Toronto’s lockdowns last year.

I ordered the chicken and waffles and a duck poutine to share. Allow me to walk you through it!
