ShareDakota Tavern, 249 Ossington, at Dundas, 416-850-4579
This raucous west-side wateringhole may only dish up its gut-busting smorgasbord on Sundays, but this steal of a meal deal incorporates so much food – mountains of flapjacks, scrambled eggs, streaky bacon and fruit salad served with bottomless cups of strong black coffee and a side of bluegrass for all of 12 bucks – that you won’t have to eat for the rest of the week.
