McDonald's breakfast menu prices in Canada, August 2026

Breakfast hours

McDonald's Canada serves breakfast from around 5:00 a.m. until 10:30 a.m. on weekdays and until roughly 11:00 a.m. on weekends. There is no all-day breakfast.

That weekday-versus-weekend split is where most people get tripped up. Show up at 10:45 a.m. on a Tuesday expecting an Egg McMuffin and you'll get a Big Mac instead. Show up at the same time on a Saturday and you're usually still fine.

McDonald's Canada does not run an all-day breakfast program. Some McCafé bakery items and beverages, muffins, cookies, and coffee among them, are available outside the breakfast window, but that's not the breakfast menu and it doesn't include the McMuffins, McGriddles, or hash browns. Hours also vary by franchise. Mall locations, airport counters, and highway service centres commonly run different clocks than a standalone street location, sometimes starting earlier or cutting breakfast off sooner to free up the grill for lunch volume. If breakfast timing matters for your trip, calling the specific restaurant beats guessing from a corporate hours page.

Where these prices come from

Every price and calorie figure below comes from one restaurant: a McDonald's at 20 Eglinton Avenue East in Toronto, Ontario. The listing I pulled these from doesn't say whether the prices are counter prices or app prices, and McDonald's Canada franchisees set their own menu prices restaurant by restaurant. There is no single national price list. If you're in Calgary, Halifax, or a different Toronto neighbourhood, treat everything here as one verified snapshot rather than a guaranteed number for your location.

The full McDonald's Canada breakfast menu, with prices and calories

This is every breakfast item and every breakfast Extra Value Meal from that Toronto location, plus the Breakfast Bundle for 4. I've left out the McNugget and dinner-hour bundles that show up in the same source table, since those aren't breakfast items.

The $2.90 breakfast upgrade, and why lunch costs more

Turning a breakfast sandwich into an Extra Value Meal, sandwich plus hash brown plus drink, is the cheapest upgrade on this menu. Turning a burger into a meal at lunch is not. Here's the comparison the source data supports directly: the Egg McMuffin goes from $5.99 to an $8.89 Extra Value Meal, a step of $2.90. The Big Mac goes from $8.39 to a $14.79 Extra Value Meal, a step of $6.40. Adding sides and a drink at breakfast costs less than half what the same move costs at lunch.

That $2.90 figure isn't universal across the whole breakfast menu, though. I checked every sandwich-to-meal pair in the source, and the step-up ranges from $2.70 to $4.30 depending on what you're upgrading:

The lowest step-ups sit on the three classic egg-plus-meat McMuffins, all $2.90, and on the Egg 'N Cheese McMuffin at $2.70. The highest sit on the McGriddles and the single Breakfast Burrito, $4.00 to $4.30. So the finding holds cleanly for the cheapest breakfast sandwiches, the ones McDonald's built its breakfast reputation on, but it stretches toward the lunchtime gap once you move to McGriddles.

There's a second way to read this. A Hash Brown alone is $3.29 and a Premium Roast Coffee alone is $1.99, $5.28 combined. The source doesn't itemize exactly what the Extra Value Meal adds, but if it's roughly a hash brown and a drink, then every single breakfast upgrade in that table beats buying those two items separately, even the priciest $4.30 step-ups. The smallest gap is on the McGriddles, where the meal upgrade still saves close to a dollar over $5.28. The biggest gap is on the Egg 'N Cheese McMuffin, where the $2.70 step-up saves roughly $2.58 against buying a hash brown and coffee on their own.

The McMuffin ladder: how McDonald's prices egg against meat

Line up the McMuffins by what's actually in them and a pattern falls out. The Sausage McMuffin, meat with no egg, is $3.39. The Egg 'N Cheese McMuffin, egg and cheese with no meat, is $4.99, a full $1.60 more. Then all three meat-plus-egg versions, the Egg McMuffin, the Sausage 'N Egg McMuffin, and the Bacon 'N Egg McMuffin, land on exactly the same number: $5.99. McDonald's doesn't charge extra for bacon over sausage in that trio. It charges for the egg.

The Chicken McMuffin also happens to price at $5.99, matching the egg-and-meat tier despite being a different kind of sandwich, and the Egg BLT McMuffin sits above all of them at $6.89, the only McMuffin to break past $6. On this menu, going from meat-only to egg-plus-meat costs $2.60. Going from egg-only to egg-plus-meat costs $1.00. Egg is the pricier half of the sandwich.

Are the breakfast bundles actually a deal?

I checked every multi-item breakfast listing in the source against buying the same items one at a time. Most of the menu is single sandwiches, so there's really only one direct bundle test available, and it doesn't flatter the bundle.

A single Breakfast Burrito is $3.49. Buy two separately and you'd pay $6.98. The menu also lists "Two Breakfast Burritos" as its own line item at $7.29, which is $0.31 more expensive than two single orders. There's no reason to order the bundle over two singles unless the app is running a promotion that isn't reflected in this listing.

The meal version tells a slightly different story. A "Two Breakfast Burritos Extra Value Meal" is $11.09. Build the same thing from smaller pieces, one "One Breakfast Burrito Extra Value Meal" at $7.59 plus one extra Breakfast Burrito at $3.49, and you get $11.08, a single cent less. That's not a real saving in either direction. It's close enough to call a wash, which at least means the bundle isn't quietly overcharging the way the two-singles burrito is.

The Breakfast Bundle for 4 at $35.35 is the other multi-serving item in this section, but the source doesn't break down what's actually in it, so I can't test it against buying the components separately. I'd rather say that plainly than guess at a saving I can't back up with a number.

The cheapest breakfast, and the best calories per dollar

The cheapest full breakfast sandwich on this menu is the Sausage McMuffin at $3.39. Drop down to components rather than a sandwich and the English Muffin at $2.09 is cheaper still, though it's bread, not a meal. The Hash Brown at $3.29 is the cheapest hot item.

Calorie efficiency tells a different story than price alone. Working through every a la carte breakfast item, calories divided by price, the best value by that measure is Hotcakes & Sausage: $6.49 for 760 calories, or about 117 calories per dollar. Close behind is the Sausage, Bacon & Egg Breakfast Wrap at $6.89 for 800 calories, about 116 calories per dollar. The worst calorie return on the menu is the Egg McMuffin: $5.99 for 290 calories, about 48 calories per dollar, barely edging out the Hash Brown at 49. If you're optimizing for calories per dollar rather than protein or convenience, hotcakes beat McMuffins by more than double.

Frequently asked questions about McDonald's Canada breakfast

What time does McDonald's stop serving breakfast in Canada?

Breakfast typically ends at 10:30 a.m. on weekdays and around 11:00 a.m. on weekends at Canadian McDonald's locations. Exact cutoff times vary by franchise, so a location in a mall or airport may run a different schedule than a standalone restaurant.

What time does McDonald's breakfast start?

Breakfast generally starts around 5:00 a.m. across McDonald's Canada locations, though opening hours vary by restaurant. Some locations open later, particularly in smaller communities.

Does McDonald's Canada serve breakfast all day?

No. McDonald's Canada does not offer all-day breakfast. Some McCafé bakery items and beverages are available outside the breakfast window, but McMuffins, McGriddles, bagels, and hash browns are only available during morning hours.

How much does McDonald's breakfast cost in Canada?

At the Toronto location I checked, breakfast sandwiches range from $3.39 for a Sausage McMuffin to $7.99 for an Egg BLT Bagel, and Extra Value Meal versions range from $7.19 to $10.99. Prices vary by province and by franchise, since there is no single national McDonald's price list.

What is the cheapest item on the McDonald's breakfast menu?

The English Muffin at $2.09 is the cheapest single item. The Sausage McMuffin at $3.39 is the cheapest full breakfast sandwich, at the Toronto location this data comes from.

Are McDonald's breakfast bundles cheaper than ordering items separately?

Not always. The "Two Breakfast Burritos" listing at $7.29 costs $0.31 more than buying two single Breakfast Burritos at $3.49 each, which total $6.98. The "Two Breakfast Burritos Extra Value Meal" at $11.09 is essentially the same price as building the equivalent from smaller pieces.

How many calories are in a McDonald's Egg McMuffin?

An Egg McMuffin has 290 calories and costs $5.99 at the Toronto location checked for this page, which works out to roughly 48 calories per dollar, the lowest calorie-per-dollar return of any a la carte breakfast item on the menu.

Does McDonald's breakfast pricing vary by province in Canada?

Yes. McDonald's Canada franchisees set their own prices, so a McMuffin in Calgary, Alberta or Halifax, Nova Scotia can cost a different amount than the same item in Toronto, Ontario. This page reflects one verified Toronto snapshot, not a national price list.

Methodology

Every price and calorie figure on this page comes from a single McDonald's restaurant at 20 Eglinton Avenue East in Toronto, Ontario, checked for accuracy on August 6, 2026. The source listing does not specify whether these are counter prices or in-app prices, and I haven't been able to confirm that distinction independently. McDonald's Canada franchisees set prices restaurant by restaurant, so figures from this Toronto location will not match every province or even every Toronto neighbourhood. All arithmetic shown, the step-up comparisons, the bundle math, and the calories-per-dollar figures, is derived directly from the prices in that source table. Breakfast hours are based on typical McDonald's Canada operating patterns as of August 2026 and can vary by franchise, so confirm with your specific location if timing matters for your visit.
