M and G II Restaurant
7.9
M and G II is a compact counter on Arthur Avenue where locals lean on simple breakfast plates, omelettes, and griddled toast alongside coffee to start the day. It feels more like a neighborhood lunch counter than a polished brunch spot, but regulars come back for the value and no-nonsense cooking.
