Quebec (9), Manitoba (3), Newfoundland (2), Nova Scotia (1) and New Brunswick (1) also have establishments in the top 100. The Best Brunch Restaurants in Canada list was culled from more than 500,000 restaurant reviews submitted by verified OpenTable diners for more than 3,000 restaurants in Canada. From the elegant dining at Vancouver'sL'Abattoir Restaurant, laidback rustic dining at Calgary'sBow Valley Ranche Restaurant, the beautiful Grand River views of the recently updated Elora Mill Restaurantand some of Niagara's best winery dining, this year's list features an extensive variety of brunch destinations moms will enjoy. The annual list comes on the heels of OpenTable's national #DiningMode campaign, a challenge to diners to set aside their phones while dining with mom and connect with those around them this Mother's Day. Diners are now encouraged to give moms the gift of being truly present at a celebratory brunch at any of this year's winning restaurants making honoring the mom in your life easy and more rewarding. "On Mother's Day 2018, we saw more diners than any other day that year and recognize that celebrating mom is a priority for Canadians," said Caroline Potter, Chief Dining Officer at OpenTable. "The honorees on this year's best brunch list are creating experiences that will dazzle her and make embracing our #DiningMode challenge a snap, with sublime drinks and dishes and friendly service. You won't be tempted to pick up your phone on May 12th at any of these spots." Canada's 100 Best Brunch Restaurants is generated solely from more than 500,000 restaurant reviews collected from verified OpenTable diners between March 1, 2018 and February 28, 2019. All restaurants with a minimum "overall" score and number of qualifying reviews were included for consideration. Qualifying restaurants were then scored and sorted according to the percentage of reviews for which "hot spot" was selected as a special feature.
