This quirky Dundas West restaurant is the perfect place to find some ethnic brunch fare on the weekends. Saving Grace is a simple and airy space with minimal decorations and a long lineup at the door. The menu is peppered with ethnically inspired dishes like the Salvadorian pupusa-sandwich. The traditional versions found at roadside pupuserias use a maize-based dough, and the fillings could include pollo (chicken), frijoles (refried beans) or queso (cheese). Saving Grace’s version ($11) generously stuffs red beans, butternut squash and Monterey Jack between two corn tortilla rounds. Tomatillo salsa verde, cilantro and hunks of avocado stand in for repollo — the typical sauerkraut-like side salad. Be warned: this take is just as filling as the original.
