Father's Day in Toronto is way more low key than Mother's Day and with any luck the weather will oblige and Dads everywhere can happily play up that whole King of the Grill cliche. Of course you can still grab brunch or do dinner, the gist is that you should just hang out with your pops.

Here are 10 places to celebrate Dads over brunch or BBQs this Father's Day.

BRUNCH

FRANK Restaurant
The restaurant at the AGO celebrates Dad with a special Father's Day prix-fixe brunch, paired with wines and beer for $35.

Mill St. Beer Hall
Celebrate Dad with the 3Bs: brunch, beers and brewery tours. Enjoy live music on the patio, and complimentary steins for all the fathers.

The Gladstone Hotel
Brunch at this West Queen West hotel is fit for a king, including a la carte options like the Lumberjack breakfast and French toast topped with caramelized apples, maple caramel drizzle and house smoked bacon served from 8am to 4pm.

The Hogtown Cure
Start Dad's special day with a Caesar cocktail at this Dundas West eatery before moving on to selections on the meaty menu including smoked brisket bennies and stuffed french toast.

Montecito
The weekly $35 brunch buffet fits the bill perfectly for Father's Day. Indulge in all you can eat eggs and enjoy specials on champagne and Caesars.
