It felt like there was an unspoken rule that you needed a dog to visit or live in Liberty Village.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Expect to wait in line for 45 min or to spend 1-2 hours walking around while waiting to be seated for brunch<\/strong> &#8211; Mildred\u2019s Temple Kitchen is notoriously known for not taking a brunch reservation and has been first come first service since it opened.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re arriving near the restaurant opening time, expect to wait in line for about 20-45 minutes before you\u2019re seated. Also expect to have other groups with dogs lining up with you. If your dog is like mine and loves pulling to meet other dogs, I\u2019d recommend taking your dog to walk around the neighbourhood for a walk while someone waits in line to avoid frustration barking and disturbing other dogs around you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re arriving after 10:00 AM, expect to put your name down and spend about 1-2 hours walking around nearby before you\u2019re called in.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bless. The entire \u2018L\u2019 shaped patio is shaded<\/strong> &#8211; on hot summer days, you\u2019ll be relieved to know that the entire patio is shaded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The main patio is protected from pedestrian traffic &#8211; great for easily distracted dogs! &#8211; <\/strong>The main patio portion stretches from the main entrance area and can seat about 6 tables ranging from 2 &#8211; 6 people per table. This area is nestled between the main restaurant building and a fenced-off garden. Pedestrian traffic is physically blocked by the garden which is a super plus for easily distracted dogs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The secondary patio is open to pedestrian traffic and people waiting in line<\/strong> &#8211; The \u2018L\u2019 portion of the patio loops around the fenced garden onto the main courtyard area where most people wait in line to enter the restaurant. This portion of the patio can seat about 3 tables in groups of four. There are no barriers between you and the foot traffic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you\u2019re brunching in September with your dog &#8211; expect wasps<\/strong> &#8211; like most patio experiences in Toronto, September is a time where wasps will crowd and compete with you for your food. If you are dining with your dog, be prepared to face these.

After all, this was not our first patio experience in Toronto. But let me tell you, this wasp encounter at Mildred\u2019s Temple Kitchen was by far the MOST wasp-filled dining experience I\u2019ve EVER had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t want to see a video of wasps crawling on food or read our descriptions of eating around wasps, please feel free to skip this section.

The one about wasps in September?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yeah\u2026 during our entire brunch experience, <strong>almost everyone who ordered the blueberry pancakes and chose to eat on the patio was eventually driven *inside*. <\/strong>The hordes of wasps were relentless in their quest to steal every bit of blueberry compote and maple syrup from each pancake patio victim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, brunching with a dog meant that we didn\u2019t have the option to run inside.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Angelo\u2019s blueberry pancakes arrived, I watched in helpless horror as 10 wasps crowded on, landed on, and started feasting on his blueberry pancakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Angelo, with the quiet calmness and resignation of accepting this wasp-filled fate, somehow managed to elegantly eat around the feasting wasps. I witnessed him gently nudging the wasps with his fork, and nonchalantly ignoring the wasps that climbed up his arm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Me? I was in paralyzed awe. Should I have asked us to just pack all our food and leave? Probably! But I was literally struck by the morbid fascination that was unfolding in front of me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Somehow, after much patient effort and deliberately slow movements, Angelo finished his pancake.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9605-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9605-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Wasp walking on a plate\" class=\"wp-image-3960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9605-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9605-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9605-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9605-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9605-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9605-1400x933.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>A straggler wasp lingering on the blueberry plate after Angelo finished his meal.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Eventually, the number of wasps dwindled down to three wasps on the plate, all of them vying for the best maple syrup spot until the waiter finally cleared it away.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, before you rage against the restaurant &#8211; they were pretty helpless about the situation! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We were warned that there would be wasps and because we had a dog, we would not be allowed to change our mind and get a seat indoors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We had multiple staff come up to us to apologize for the wasps. They told us they tried multiple wasp traps. From honey traps, simple syrup traps, to even setting aside a blueberry pancake dish as a sacrifice in the garden. Unfortunately, nothing really helped the situation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We even watched the staff set up these traps before we were seated so they really were trying their best!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, after experiencing this we have come to several conclusions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#faf8f9\"><li><strong>Don\u2019t order sweet things if you\u2019re going to eat on a patio in Toronto in September<\/strong><\/li><li>This wouldn&#8217;t have changed our order choice, but i<strong>t would have been awesome if the staff could warn guests about ordering sweet dishes<\/strong> if that many wasps would appear.&nbsp;Thankfully all the savoury dishes were left alone (like my Huevos Monty &#8211; I ate this in peace with zero wasps)<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9589-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9589-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Corgi smiling at camera between a table and a wooden fence at Mildred's Temple Kitchen's Patio\" class=\"wp-image-3951\" srcset=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9589-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9589-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9589-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9589-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9589-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9589-1400x933.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"limone-experience\">Limone\u2019s Experience at Mildred&#8217;s Temple Kitchen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>How was Limone\u2019s experience on Mildred Temple\u2019s Kitchen\u2019s patio?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019d say it was a positive experience!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We found plenty of methods available to us to secure Limone near us including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Securing her to the table legs<\/li><li>Securing her to our chair (but only when we\u2019re seated for added weight and security)<\/li><li>Securing her to the fence beside our table<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Because the main patio was nestled between a high-fenced garden and the building itself, we were blocked from pedestrian foot traffic.

In a way that speaks volumes about the partially isolated nature of the patio, and also\u2026 just how many wasps there were during our brunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Would I visit this place again? Absolutely! I\u2019d love to eat their brunch again. The food was lovely and delicious. Also, I got a peek of the inside, and the decor? I\u2019m sold on the decor and thought of delicious brunch food.&nbsp; I definitely want to come back and try eating inside!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Would I come back with Limone again? Absolutely yes! But we definitely won\u2019t be ordering the blueberry pancakes when we do! I just don\u2019t think I can witness another wasp experience like that again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"faq\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"reservations\">Can you make Brunch Reservations at Mildred Temple\u2019s Kitchen?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, the answer has and will likely be <strong>no<\/strong>. There are no reservations for their brunch. During the weekends, expect to line up half an hour before the restaurant opens if you\u2019d like to be the first one seated.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By 9:30 AM, you will likely need to wait in line until the first rounds of folks have finished their meal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is common to put your name down on the list and stroll for an hour or two around the area before being called in to eat.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"alcohol\">Does Mildred\u2019s Temple Kitchen offer alcohol for brunch?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Why <strong>yes<\/strong>! They do! Their brunch menu also includes a drinks menu that offers everything from classic mimosas, to craft beer, to refreshing mixed drinks like their watermelon smash &#8211; a cocktail of watermelon juice, lime, and gin or vodka.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does Mildred\u2019s Temple Kitchen offer alternatives for dietary restrictions?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Yes <\/strong>&#8211; Mildred\u2019s Temple Kitchen offers <strong>gluten-free<\/strong>, <strong>vegan<\/strong>, and <strong>halal <\/strong>options.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"dogs\">Do dogs get any treats\/menus\/etc.?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a communal water bowl near the check-in area where dogs may drink water from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there are no special dog treats\/ food items on the menu. If you need to provide any food, treats, or water to your dog, please come prepared with your own dog bowls. I\u2019d suggest bringing a couple of <a href=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/recommends\/silicone-collapsible-bowls\/\">collapsible bowls<\/a> to keep packing items to brunch at a minimum.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every single staff member we interacted with liked dogs and many will ask you to pet your dog if you\u2019re okay with it.
