There was no monkeying around when we created our famous 'Monkey Gland Sauce.' Our Monkey Gland Sauce is a traditional South African BBQ sauce made using caramelized onions, red port and tomato. Some use it as a condiment for burgers, hot dogs and steaks. We like to use it to make our Sticky BBQ Breakfast Sausage and serve it with Grilled Boerewurs. YUM!

It’s the perfect day for brunch! Our Caramelized Apple French Toast has your name written all over it! 👋🏻

Host a private dinner in our space and enjoy a family-style spread. We work individually with you to create a menu custom tailored to your group. Give us a call or send us an email to learn more!

Our famous seed bread is made with whole wheat flour, molasses and toasted seeds, baked fresh every Sunday morning for brunch! Now the tough part, which homemade spread are you going to load up on?

One for you, two for me. We love these Grilled Satay Chicken Skewers with sesame, chive and peanuts. They make for the perfect bitesize snack.

Any guesses what this is? If you guessed tempeh, you're right! Tempeh is a traditional fermented soy product originating from Indonesia. We've prepared ours Sweet 'n Sour Style.

Start your morning right. Fuel up for your day with our bakes eggs with shakshuka sauce, herbed goat cheese and charred onions. 💪🏻

It’s what you’ve all been waiting for! Swing on by between 10:30-2 and load up your tray! Don’t forget to tag us in all of your brunch photos! 🙌🏻

Tis the season and our tree is feeling festive! Join us tomorrow for brunch and play your own festive game of ‘eye spy!’ 👁

Fresh greens from our friends at @footsteporganic. These leafy greens are a great source of vitamin K, vitamin A, and vitamin C. 📸: @footsteporganic

Now that’s a trio if we’ve ever seen one. Fresh fruit, yogurt and Lauren’s famous granola! Curious about our yogurt flavours? Just like our brunch menu, it changes every week! But just to keep you curious...guava, halva, yuzu, maple... should we go on?

Dip and dunk in our homemade (gluten-free and vegan!) hummus. Caramelized onions, sesame seeds and roasted chickpeas add the perfect amount of crunch to every bite. Veggies, pita, what do you dip?

Three words. KOREAN CAESAR SALAD. This fan favourite is made with crisp lettuce, puffed wild rice and our sesame sunflower dressing .

The perfect on-the-go lunch? We think so! Here at Jack and Lil’s we know that ‘fast food’ doesn’t have to be unhealthy, and our Buddha Bowls are the perfect example. Our Buddha Bowls are gluten-free, dairy-free, AND nut-free! We start with a mix of ancient grains with fresh herbs, scallion and a sesame vinaigrette, topped with a variety of roasted veggies. We finish them off with some edamame, ginger-miso tofu, dried currants and togarashi seeds and our green tahini dressing!

Come hungry! We’ve got some very exciting items on the menu today! Banana French Toast Pudding, anyone?

It’s almost time to brunch! Stay tuned tomorrow morning, when we’ll announce what you’ll be filling up your plate with! See you all tomorrow from 10:30-2!

Sliders, anyone? We love these pork sausage Bahn Mi Sliders with Hoisin mayo and a sesame glaze. You may want to fill your pockets with these guys (they’re worth saving for a late night snack!)

Is there anything better than enjoying a warm cinnamon roll on a cold winter evening? We love making these sweet, sticky cinnamon rolls drizzled with icing, almost as much as we like eating them! We’ll have one for breakfast and dessert, please. 🙌🏻

Sweet potatoes with charred onions, tahini dressing and fresh herbs, piled high! We also make a variation of this dish with squash! Now the tough part, sweet potatoes or squash?

Ah Sunday afternoons. People file out with full bellies, and we clean up what's left - which is usually slim pickings! See you all next Sunday!
