This cheerful Leaside restaurant is known for its tasty, affordable lunches and brunches. With a bright, cozy interior decorated with citrus motifs, Sophie’s Kitchen is a welcoming spot for friends, couples, and families alike — owners Hayley Edwards and Robbie Sabato named it after their own daughter, Sophie. The menu offers a crowd-pleasing mix of hearty and healthy dishes, from make-your-own salad to a poutine-inspired skillet (there’s also a kids’ menu for little ones). Be sure to arrive early or be prepared for a wait — it’s a popular spot and its 24 seats fill up fast on weekends!
