The Third

Nice little brunch spot in Westboro. The design is very casual/ bar like. The patio is small but is nice because it’s on the side- away from the road- and has a nice view of the beautifully designed church across the road. All the staff that helped us was very welcoming and easy going. The menu is filled with traditional brunch options such as eggs, hash browns, salads, French toast, burgers, etc. Something I also noticed about the menu is the prices are very affordable for just about anybody, most items range from $3-10. Unfortunately the menu has very limited gluten free options so I was a little limited in what I could get. I ended up having a lettuce wrap burger with home fries and my partner had a grilled cheese and some eggs. All the food tasted good. The hash browns we’re heart shaped for Mother’s Day which was a cute and thoughtful touch. Overall we had a really good experience. My only recommendation would be to add some more gluten free options to the menu.

Came here spontaneously as I was doing an escape room in the area. Surprised by the affordable prices and great serving portion. Ordered the brisket which came with toast, mac n cheese, pickles, slaw and corn. Cozy vibes, good nachos and homemade hot sauce. Dark and moody/casual eatery for hanging out with friends.

Came with a friend from out of town to catch up. Servers were attentive and made sure to top up coffee. Simple menu and not too many choices (a good thing). Reasonable prices. I had the breakfast nachos - delish - and a jalapeno cheddar scone. Both were excellent. Love the decor and the music. Whole vibe was relaxed and friendly. Will definitely be back!

Follow my food blog on Instagram for restaurant reviews: @mimi.munches! 💖 I've always heard good things about The Third, so I had to check it out recently while walking in the Westboro/Wellington West area! They define the third place as a neutral public place where people can gather and interact; unlike the first place(home) and the second place (work), the third place allows people to put aside their concerns and simply enjoy the pleasure of good company. This was definitely apparent as soon as I walked in - the interior atmosphere is super cozy! The restaurant is long and not too wide, with a variety of tables, high top tables, and bar seating. There is lots of wood and the colour scheme is predominately green, which is really calming. I started off with the Salted homemade potato chips ($3), which came with a really rich more-ish dip - so good! I love when the chips are BIG and crispy. Crispy chicken sandwich ($12): southern fried chicken, carrot & jalapeno slaw, pickles, spicy mayo, homemade potato bun. This had a THICK piece of fried chicken! It protruded out from underneath the potato bun, and was satisfyingly crunchy. Great value too, with thick cut fries! Roasted brisket ($13): Must-try in my opinion! This was with corn chutney, slaw, pickles, sweet potato mac n' cheese toast, BBQ sauce. Mmm...this brisket was TENDER. It had the right proportion of lean and fat meat, and melted in my mouth. Even better when put on top of toast, with the corn chutney/slaw/pickles! AND the mac n' cheese was RICH. I would order just a large size of it if it was available! Dessert was as milk and cookie ($3): how nostalgic! The chocolate chip & walnut cookie was WARM and not too sweet - soooo good dipped into milk with each bite. Nex time I'll be back for brunch!

We went for brunch on a weekend so it was pretty full and we had to wait a bit. But the seater and servers were very friendly and provided the most amazing service. We ordered a grilled cheese, a loaded french toast with cinnamon apple & whipped cream toppings and breakfast nachos. We also tried their homies which is a fried potato dish. All in all, loved the resto-pub place and would definitely visit again!

Fantastic brunch experience, the staff were prompt and took a name down when a table was not available. The prices are fantastic and the quality of the food is great. Makes you want to order more than one dish because they are affordable. I had the Breakfast Sandwich and a Scone, I wish the scone was a little less well-done, but had a nice lemon flavor, regardless. Will be returning with friends and family for sure.
