We normally frequent the downtown core of Toronto for Sunday brunch, but H decided to stay uptown, and chose Seasons at the Prince for my birthday celebration (what an excellent choice)!
Seasons at the Prince is located inside the Westin Prince Hotel. The brunch is currently $44/person, which includes parking.
The décor is very clean, modern and minimalist; casual, yet elegant at the same time. Seating is spaced well and very comfortable, with a lot of options for privacy. The semi-circular booths looked very cozy, and we loved our table for 2 with a beautiful view of the parklands.
The staff were all very friendly and efficient. Aladdin was gracious in allowing me to take pictures before the brunch started. He was “very” attentive throughout our stay, making sure we were well taken care of!
A unique selection of hot and cold buffet items were available, and on our visit we enjoyed the stuffed lobster shells, oysters, mussels and shrimp, salads, danishes, croissants, the omelet and carving station, chocolate waffles, and so much more.
Smoked Salmon, Assorted Deli
Stuffed Lobster Shells, Oysters, Mussels
Omelet Station
Tomatoes, Fresh Mozzarella with Balsamic Vinegar Drizzle
Roasted Red Skin Potatoes with Lemon and Garlic, Seasonal Garden Vegetables
Roasted Leg of Lamb with Pearl Onions and Sun Dried Tomatoes
Butter Chicken
Tri-color Tortellini with Spinach and Artichokes
Herb Crusted Barramundi with Citrus Salsa
Chicken Apple Sausages

I also noticed the food was replenished very quickly.
Fresh juices, smoothies and fruit balanced out an indulgent brunch, but of course my mind was on the dessert table!

What’s On Our Plates
Being a dessert lover, I noticed the dessert table right away while I was taking pictures! My favorites were the dark chocolate cake which was not too sweet, Tiramisu and Chocolate Pots de Crème.
Jolanta suggested we make room for the bread pudding, but to honest, it looked quite plain to me. I’m so glad I gave it a try … it was pure decadence! The addition of a very light, yet creamy and thick vanilla sauce was amazing.
Most surprising was the coffee, as I prefer tea. When we asked Jolanta, she informed us it was Starbucks. While we love Starbucks lattes, H does not like their coffee, but this particular blend was mild and smooth, with no bitter aftertaste. Of course H enjoyed the pot that was left on our table, and I helped myself to several cups as well!
The restaurant was booked solid, but we never felt rushed to finish our brunch. We lingered long after everyone had left, and I was impressed that the food was still being served, fresh as when we first arrived. We were having such a relaxing afternoon, looking out at the beautiful grounds when Jamy and Jolanta brought out yet another piece of dessert while singing Happy Birthday :)
It was very nice that they took the time to chat with us. Most often, servers are in a hurry to clean up and usher guests out, but this was not the case at Seasons at the Prince!
We had a very enjoyable brunch, and we’re already looking forward to returning soon!
Note:
I contacted Kevin McFadden, Rooms Division Manager, to inquire about the Starbucks blend that was served at brunch. It’s very rare to see management respond so quickly, and with appreciation for our business. Thanks so much Kevin!
