When it comes to regional cuisine, imitations just won’t do. Nobody makes pasta like the Italians, nobody makes a croissant like the French and nobody makes goulash like somebody cooking from a handed-down family recipe courtesy of a Hungarian grandmother. “The Bread and Butter menu includes authentic central and eastern European dishes which are made from family recipes,” says co-owner Lazar Bunda proudly.
Lazar may well be proud of the restaurant he runs with his mother Mira and his sister Severa, and not just for the delicious and hearty food. Bread and Butter opened in 1980 and the Bunda family took it over in 1995, but not without a struggle. Mira came to Canada from the former Yugoslavia in the late 1980s as a single mother and barely spoke English. Determination to create a better life for herself and her family led her to master the language and buy the popular neighbourhood restaurant. Today, she’s got to be one of the busiest and happiest cooks in Toronto, producing her tasty dishes with the help of her children, Lazar and Severa.
This is the best kept secret in Toronto. If you...
This is the best kept secret in Toronto. If you haven't visited the Bread and Butter by now, find your way to Mt. Pleasant & Millwood. I thought it was the best breakfast and lunch place I've visited in the whole city.
Unbelievable service and food that many of your grew up eating. Remember what Mom used to make when you were growning up, this is the same thing. Great home cooked food with that Eastern Euro flavour.
The European style cuisine is of an excellent quality and authenticity. The service impeccable. Very pleasant neighbourhood place to go out any time of the day or to order take out. Reasonable prices.
Best Schnitzel sandwiches in town. Friendly staff, quaint setting, great little patio. Fantastic eastern European food or a simple sandwich...highly recommended!!
