Breakfast is more than your first meal of the day at Lady Marmalade. Eggs scrambled, baby kale, smashed beans, baked hash browns, cheese curds, roasted tomatoes: these are just a few listings on the menu at this savoury soul food diner in Leslieville.
Nondescript on the outside, Lady Marmalade is a throwback to old-school with a mish mash of vinyl seating, thrift store finds and avocado-coloured walls showcasing interesting local artwork. “The majority of what we’re serving is breakfast,“ says owner Natalia Simachkevitch, explaining the eclectic décor. “A lot of people say it’s like their grandmother’s kitchen.”
The vibe is sunny-side up, the food is wholesome and if it weren’t for a line-up out the door every weekend, one might only find Lady Marmalade with their nose.
