The Best Quiche in Toronto

The best quiche in Toronto is the savoury, eggy tart turned quintessential cafe fare. The original recipe is an open-faced pastry with cream, cheese and strips of fatty bacon, but French bakeries and brunch spots around town are putting any number of varieties of cheese, tender veggies and meat into this baked brunch staple. 

Here's the best quiche in Toronto.

3 - Bonjour Brioche

<p>The quiche Lorraine from this Riverside restaurant is famous citywide. Their recipe includes some smoky ham, Swiss cheese and curls of leek. The custard is made with both 35 per cent and 2 per cent cream for a deliciously smooth egg. </p>
8 - Maman

<p>Located on the mezzanine of First Canadian Place is this popular New York-founded bakery, where coffee and baked treats abound. The quiche rotates daily, but you can always get a slice of it in a combo with salad on the side.</p>
4 - Pain Perdu

<p>Head to this cozy French bakery and cafe on St. Clair West for airy quiches with fillings like goat’s cheese and spinach or zucchini, tomato and feta. The size of these slices are generous, with deep-crusted cheese exteriors.  </p>
5 - Ma Maison

<p>Provencal, Lorraine, lobster, brie and leek and broccoli chicken cheddar are just some of the quiche options at this Bloor West Village patisserie. Get one of these colourful slices in sizes small enough for you or large enough for a whole group.</p>
6 - Jules Cafe Patisserie

<p>This patisserie has been one of Mount Pleasant’s foremost spots for French dishes like pain au chocolat, croque-monsieurs, and of course, quiche, since 2006. Quiche varieties include artichoke and tomato, cauliflower, and ham and cheese.</p>
7 - Patisserie La Cigogne Danforth

<p>If you’re looking for a veggie-packed quiche, look no further than the Garden Fresh slice at these cafes on the Danforth or on Bayview. There’s also a smoked salmon and brie combo, and a few classics with ham and cheese.</p>
9 - Nord Lyon

<p>West Queen West’s emporium of bread, chocolate and pastries has a round quiche that’s relatively small, but jam-packed with tuna, ham and chicken, with veggies, cheese and peppers all fitting in alongside.</p>
10 - Jack and Lil's

<p>This laneway commissary on St. Clair West is your spot for easy takeaway breakfasts, including an egg dish that’s slightly more frittata than quiche. This crustless version has caramelized spinach, roasted veg and goats cheese. If you want a breakfast sausage in there, call ahead. </p>
11 - Mabel's Bakery in the Junction

<p>Visit the Roncy flagship or go to any of the other three Mabel'ses across town for their famous quiches. They have versions that rotate daily made with free-run eggs, organic veggies, cheese and a buttery crust. </p>
