I have visited mains mansion a number of times for breakfast or brunch. That's what this review is going to talk about, the brunch.
The inside is decorated like an Irish -ish pub. Hardwood floors, stain glass windows, bar, etc. You can definitely tell (and sometimes smell) that it is probably mostly a pub at night. There's also a huge patio to sit at in the summer. Its never really been that busy when we've come, bit we tend to go a bit earlier. It's usually when we are ready to leave that's when it starts to fill in more.
It's located on main Street Markham, not main Street unionville. There's some on street parking, and parking on the side, and back of the building.
I have only come with girlfriends for brunch usually before heading off to paint lounge or the farmers market.
With one exception the brunch is great. I prefer coming here than going to Cora's. Cost seems to go from a yogurt parfait for 12.99 (its huge) to an eggs Benedict platter for 24.99. My favourites are the classic breakfasts. Three eggs, toast ( regular or French), and a platter of fruits. Yum!. The yogurt parfait is also huge. For sure shareable. Breakfast sandwiches are really great too.
Only thing we didn't like, the waffle. It's the same price as the classic and sandwich breakfasts. You get one dense, bad tasting waffle, a blop of whipped cream, and a couple of pieces of fruit. Not the best. The one thing I had that I did not like.
Service is spotty. It's never been what anyone would call good. Usually the wait staff is just standing around talking about the night before or what's up that night, or gossip about someone that works there. Usually you have to ask for coffee refills and bills. It seems like its because we are usually a table of women. We have noted that tables with men get more attention. I guess they are hedging their bets that flirting will get them bigger tips?
All in all great place for breakfast, waffles excepted :)
Just came walking down Main St Markham for Pan-Am Fridays and stopped here for a beer. Stella on tap and allowed our dog on the patio. Good enough for me for a good rating. Obviously if you want a food review, check others. Waitress was nice and they have a live band on Fridays so worth a check out, sure.
For Sat or Sunday breakfast/brunch the best in the world. Or at least Markham!!!! Awesome worth a visit
One of the best restaurant which I was ever.. I've been in this Casual Canadian restaurant a couple of times, after I expressed my pleasure with their food and service, I believe this is my job to do the owner a favor and write a review on his restaurant's website. What words would you use to make it short and sweet.Great food, Perfect service and it is 10/10
Thanks for your excellency services in advance
A great place for a nice evening meal on the patio. The wait staff is frendly and attentive. The food was good, although a bit pricy compared to other local pub fare. I would definatly recommend Main's Mansion.
One of the Better Brunches in Markham!. They had a WagJag deal so I went for brunch, ordered a Super Breakfast and the New Orleans Brunch with smoked salmon, caviar, poached eggs, fruits, potatoes and good stuff.
All the food was great, served nice and hot, and service was quick too.
Would definitely come back for brunch, definitely very filling and even without the coupon deal, good value!
Great service, great atmosphere, best breakfast in town!
Yummy!. I purchased a "WagJag" offer of $40.00 worth of food for $20.00. After making my purchase, I located a handful of reviews via Google Maps and they weren't entirely favourable so I was a bit nervous. I went with my 2 kids and spouse. I think I probably won't take my kids late in the evening at it is a pub - and there were a bunch of men clustered around the tiny bar but we sat around the corner and everything was fine. Our waitress Jennifer was incredibly attentive, bringing out crayons and a kids menu without us asking. We ordered hamburgers, perogies, soup, salad, Philly steak sandwich. The food was generously portioned and flavourful. I especially liked that my Philly steak wasn't hiding globs of fatty meat - which is often the case.
My only criticism is that we weren't finished our soup before the main course came out. I will definitely go back!
Main’s Mansion is located at the beautiful and historical Main Street of Markham, because of that, it is reflected in their rustic décor and furnishings as well. I much prefer dining at Main’s than the family style Cora’s, it is far more quiet and feels more like home. Their portion are massive too. I especially like their large assortment of fruits. I can’t believe that they even have star fruits! I get my money worth just by eating the fruits on the plate, honestly. At times, I feel that the ser
Loved the interior - it is very cozy! At night time Main's serves as a pub so it only makes sense that its interior fits that purpose. We were seated by the fireplace so we were extra warm and cozy :)
My friend recommended Main’s Mansion for their brunch, as we were both craving eggs and toast. The restaurant is in an old house with wooden floors and a nice patio, which mends with the old architect of Main Street Markham. The interior felt like a pub and there was free parking next to the restaurant.
As I had the baby in the stroller, the steps were a bit steep, and for the life of me, I could not carry the stroller up the stairs. There was little staff on a cold Saturday, so there was no hostess to help me out as well. Good thing my friend came to the rescue as I felt pretty stranded outside. Do keep this in mind mommas with strollers!
The brunch items ranged from about $10 to $24 with a traditional fare of eggs, bacon, omelettes, eggs benedict, steak and sandwiches.
I opted for the traditional Greek omelette which had onions, bell peppers and feta cheese. What makes the brunch stand out is the amount and quality of their fruits, which included dragon fruit, star fruit and even pomegranate! The portions are generous as well.
This is my first time there, so I would not be able to provide further recommendations of their menu. If visitors are looking for a traditional breakfast with a nice balance of carbs/eggs/meat and fruit and large portions, this is the place to be!
I will come back in the summer to try their lunch or dinner items, and enjoy the view from their patio.
