Motto Toronto

What is Motto Toronto? Occupying a bright, airy space at 764 Queen Street West just east of Trinity Bellwoods Park, Motto Toronto brings Aegean breakfast cafe culture to the West Queen West strip. Founded by Deniz Telli alongside his aunts who helm the family recipes, the room is appointed with crisp white-and-green accents, terrazzo tiles, and natural light cascading down from overhead skylights. Seating spans casual dining tables and banquette seating suited for midday catch-ups over fresh juice and espresso.

Motto Toronto Menu & What to Order The kitchen leans into Turkish and broader Mediterranean morning fare with a generous, scratch-made approach. The cornerstone order is the Mediterranean Breakfast plate, generously laden with fried eggs, halal beef sausage, crisp mücver (zucchini fritters), muhammara, olives, feta, and dulce de leche toast. Savoury cravings are well met by the Menemen plate, the slow-cooked brisket and avocado sourdough, and a loaded brisket omelette, capped off with house-made pistachio tiramisu or fresh-squeezed cold juices.

Know Before You Go Tables operate on a walk-in basis, meaning peak weekend brunch hours between 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. often see a steady queue form out front. The 501 Queen streetcar stops right nearby, making transit the best option as Queen West street parking is limited. The kitchen serves daily from 8:30 a.m. until late afternoon.
