Main's Mansion

I went to the brunch with my family including my 5 year old daughter. Food looked great, full of fruits and eggs not only looked great taste was even better than the look! The server was amazingly friendly, too. She even entertained my daughter, my daughter almost finished the whole egg Benedict! It was the best way to start beautiful Sunday on the patio.

Great place to take the family, enjoy brunch with the family inside or on the patio. Large portions, friendly staff.

If we're doing the one word game and I can only use one word to describe Main's Mansion, I would choose sunny. Sunny interior, sunny disposition, sunny side up. Sunny all around. Made for an all around happy, sunny brunch that left us feeling brighter when we walked out the doors.

Main's Mansion is a classic resto-pub in the body of a vintage house on old-school Main Street Markham. One of the only places to open beyond 9pm in Markham, I'm sure it's got its fair share of loyal night owls that come in for a pint. In the late morning, it opens its doors to the brunch population with a selection of favourites ranging from omelettes, to eggs benedict, to French toast.

Of all the similar pub restaurants in the city, I feel like Main's Mansion's got a few distinctions. Firstly, it's got a lovely indoor patio for those days where you want to feel like you're outside without actually feeling like you're outside. Secondly, it's got some of the brightest, tastiest brunches I've had in recent memory. Flavourful french toast loaded with cinnamon, eggs cooked to perfection, and my personal winner, loads of fresh hand-cut fruit. We replaced home fries with regular fries and those were amazing too.

Lastly, service wasn't just good, it was memorable. There was a mix-up between two of my family member's plates, resulting in us thinking a side of bacon was missed. Even though we fixed the mix-up and nothing was actually missed, our waitress still brought us an extra side of bacon. That, on top of frequently checking up on us for coffee refills, made her awesome in our eyes.

Though this place might be old, it's definitely one of my new favourite brunch places. It's great to find these places that have been around forever but still exceed your expectations.

Absolutely loved it. Food was fresh and delicious. Serve was pleasant. But one suggestion would not to serve soft drinks in a plastic beer advertisement cup. Put them in a glass.

Friday night out with my family. There was a great band and the restaurant was packed. Service was excellent too. Every once in a while the server came to check on us, we were all happy. Food was great, atmosphere was great, so much fun going around the whole restaurant, everybody seemed to be having great time. Highly recommend to everyone. Even my 2 young age kids were having fun with the music!
