We were welcomed warmly and there was a nice atmosphere to the restaurant. We ordered a bottle of Cianti Classico and it was excellent ($80) it was devine with all the dishes. We started with the classic Brushetta, a ceasar salad and Mussels in a Tomato sauce, all were nice but the Mussels in the Tomato sauce was splendid, we mopped it up with the house bread. The main courses arrived promptly, I had the Spaghetti with Chicken and Prawns, delightful sauce again, my dining companions had the Mushroom Gnocchi and the Orecchiette pasta with Italian sausage, all were scrumptious. We finished, although full already, with a Tartufo and a Tiramisu, it was my birthday and they even put a candle on it 😁 This Tiramisu was so soft and creamy, a sensation on the tongue and it was too my taste as it was not too heavy with Marsala wine, I like it light on the alcohol. I had the house recommended digestive to top it all, we all had a sip, I'm glad I said yes. So all in all a delight, I shall return 😀

We went there today with my family. Very unique and cozy place, very beautiful property. Stuff is very attentive to details and friendly, unfortunately we don't know name of man who was assisting us, but he was extremely nice! We will definitely come back there again, especially in summer when terasse will be open. Thank you for this experience!

Not sure where to start with my review for this hidden gem in Toronto. My son was looking through Google to find an Italian restaurant near us and he picked out this place based on their ratings. What an amazing choice. For the first time in awhile I had nothing to complain about and every single item we ordered was WOW. The bread is so fresh crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. We ordered a margarita pizza to share, gnocchi, linguini shrimp Alfredo, pasta with blush sauce, shrimp and mushroom, and pasta with seafood. Everything was beyond delicious and the service was amazing as well. I will definitely be back and will recommend it to all our friends. Hats off to the chef and kitchen staff as well.

Amazing food, service and wine menu. The wine pairing suggested by the staff was perfect. The owner, Ms. Floriana, was at the restaurant and told us their history. A fantastic experience!!

THE BEST ONE! This is definitely the best bar in Toronto. There you will find different atmospheres depending the floor you are in this big old house. You can dance, play games, or just chill around this university environment. My favorite is the piano man that starts playing at 10:30 PM. What a wonderful place!!!

Yesterday I hosted a small group and Zak took care of us. He was kind and efficient as he gave everyone a number so they could pay their tab. I really appreciate him and the booking staff who helped me make this event possible. A few of us stayed after for dinner and we were all satisfied. We ordered fish & chips, salmon, Mac & cheese, and crispy chicken sandwich. All were tasty. I had a great first impression here. Thank you

This place is awesome. The staff here are some of the most welcoming and lovely people I’ve ever met. When you go to check it out be sure to TIP YOUR SERVERS! Doesn’t matter if you get one drink or a meal for the fam. They work much harder than you think so YOU can enjoy your time there.

Celebrated my birthday at the Maddy w a few friends and had the best time! Shout-out to our bartender Chloe! She was the coolest! So gracious and attentive and fun to talk to. 10/10 whenever I go I always hope to see Chloe there :)

Absolutely quaint interior and cozy. Owner is very friendly. Lot of beautiful details to look at within the restaurant. I ordered the tiramisu which is probably one of the best I've had ($16). The orange chocolate cake was okay, the orange flavor was a little too strong. But the cake itself was constructed to perfection.

Very authentic place run by the most wondeful family. First time I walked in I felt like I came home. This is a place the locals love and they love the locals. They hug their regular guests and get to know their new ones, right away. The food is absolutely incredible with a cellar to match. I cannot describe in words how impressed and pleased I was and that's why I went there twice in the three days I was in Toronto. Visit Joey and his family and see for yourself.

I rarely use words like this in a review but this is the best pizza I have ever had. The sourdough crust makes for a phenomenal platform for the delivery of quality ingredients. We were only there for 5 days but managed to eat here 3 times - which I never do when in a new city. I have had quality pizza all over the world but this is my favorite! The pasta dishes we experienced were also superb! I can’t recommend highly enough. Some very nice wines also!

Had a smoked salmon crostini and a cortado for breakfast. Very pleasant little cafe with a good assortment of drink and food options. Sandwiches are not made to order (they take a premade one from the counter and dress it up a little) so it wasn’t absolutely fresh but still very nice. Egg was not overcooked and the bread was chewy and tasty. Coffee was good too. Comfortable seating with lots of windows to let in the sunshine makes the dine in experience enjoyable.
David Lo - 2 months ago

This place is honestly pretty pricey, but the food and coffee were pretty good! They have lots of seating and a huge selection of sandwiches. It’s a great place for a light lunch or coffee/catch-up with pals.

This is a great coffee place with good food! I passed by to grab a cold coffee and a smoked salmon sandwich and let me tell you!!! it did not disappoint. They have a car indoors that makes for great pictures. The indoor environment is super clean, so you could come here and work or read a book. They also have this patio area in the back with nice furniture. Makes you forget that you are in a city for a while.

What a lovely find and so close to The ROM. The Café was lively and bright, sparkling clean too. The food displays were lovely. I eventually settled on a pancetta sandwich with figs and a very yummy cheese. I also had a raspberry tart which was bursting with flavor. I’m looking forward to visiting again and trying something new.
Wendy Melville - 2 weeks ago

Sandwich is a little on the pricey side but good taste and good vibe so well worth it. Coffee is a little small in portions compared to elsewhere. Note that it can get really busy at noon so expect a slower service rate around that time.

Huge shoutout to the staff here for seating an impromptu table of 9, we really appreciated it. The food was SO GOOD. And there were so many amazing options on the menu it was really hard to choose what to have. Definitely somewhere that we’ll have to return to as I’ve got a solid list of what I want to try next. Service was efficient and timely, and the restaurant had a chill vibe. Such a great lunch spot, highly recommend.
Amanda Cooke - a month ago

Loved my experience at fresh! The atmosphere is so warm and welcoming. The hot chocolate off the winter warmer menu had just the right amount of sweetness and was definetly a highlight. The Cobb salad with extra chicken was so refreshing and I loved the Dutch fries! Can’t wait to come back and try the juices and burgers.

Met a dear, old friend here for a long overdue catch-up. Monday nights are a great night to come because it is less busy and a bit quieter than during some of the busier times when there is a lot of traffic and energy, and a bit more volume, which is also fun (I come here a lot). I had a salad, The Botanist, and my friend had one of the bowls, The Green Goddess. The food here is so nutrient-packed and delicious, and instead of feeling full and regretful after a meal, you feel like you’ve done your body an excellent and delicious favour. As well, I highly recommend this location in particular. If you get a window seat, it’s great for people watching, and is steps from the Spadina subway stop. This is one of the original locations as well, so it’s a little smaller and more intimate than some of the newer and larger locations. No matter where you go, this menu is perfect for health-conscious foodies.

Your warm welcome and generous accommodation were greatly appreciated👏. Thank you for hosting such a lovely celebration event. It was a memorable experience✋️. We are grateful for your kindness during our stay there. Your exceptional hospitality made our trip both enjoyable & unforgettable😍

I normally love the Goddess bowl but this time was super lacklustre. The soba noodles were clumpy and came together in chunks, the bowl seemed to be missing components, there was only a tiny portion of greens/bok choy, and the broccoli was raw. Very disappointed at the lack of consistency.

We had such a lovely time celebrating my engagement at the Duke of York in between wedding dress shopping! From start to finish the whole experience was super special. We were put in the bay window and provided complementary champagne to toast the occasion. Byron provided incredible service and the whole staff were very warm and welcoming. Such delicious food, cool venue history, fabulous tea cups and wonderful character. Look forward to our next visit!

Slightly off the beaten path but within walking distance of the Royal Ontario Museum and other attractions. Upscale service and food in an intimate Irish pub setting. We were seated on the main floor, which is a small lively area, with a great patio off the back. The staff were all incredibly friendly and the service was fast despite a fairly full house. We both ordered the St Patrick's Day special stew. Which was served with a side on turnip carrot mash potato, a tea biscuit and brussel sprouts. It felt like a home cooked meal. Absolutely delicious. Prices are fair, and very reasonable for the area. We hope to make it back soon to try something off the regular menu, but that special was too good to turn down. I guess there is a reason it's been around for 5 decades or so.

A friend of mine picked this spot for us to grab a bite to eat before we checked out the symphony. When I first walked in I could smell an odor of dead rodent which kind of turned me off a little but I didn't pick the place or know the area so I still took my seat and waited for my friend to arrive. I started with an appetizer the spinach artichoke dip and it was very good and then I decided to order the turkey club sandwich with french fries and my friend had the steak with caesar salad and fries. I was told the steak was a bit stringy and had quite a bit of fat so it wasn't the best cut of beef. My main was very good 👍. It was a bit loud in there with people talking but we managed and it was a pub style establishment so it's to be expected. Our server was very nice and he made sure to check on us which was good. Overall it's your typical pub establishment. They need to check their traps more often because thay dead mouse smell was very obvious walking in.

Some of the best food I’ve had in a long time. Everything was delicious and cooked perfectly. Our waiter, Byron, was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. We will definitely make a point of coming back next time we’re in the area.

This is the place for you if you just need food in your belly, in terms of flavour food is good and will leave you content, especially with the portion sizes. I got the fish and chips which was solid, but I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re looking for earth shattering flavour town. Something that did hit the spot were the macaroni bites. Service is great and very attentive. I don’t recommend sitting near the outside patio because it can get quite cold, especially in this season. Not pictured here was sticky toffee pudding. It was a little dry, but overall had good flavour.

Celebrated my anniversary here and had Thomas as our server. He was wonderful and treated us very kindly. I was surprised that there was only actually 1 jumbo shrimp but it was yummy along with the risotto it was served with. The steak was cooked a bit over my asking, but not too much. The louvre was a unique and tasty dessert as well. I would come here again. :)

Under radar lounge bar connected to a hotel with a great ambience and service. We recommend their chocolate cake which was a generous portion while being extremely tasty. Prices are also reasonable for a nice spot in the upscale Yorkville neighborhood.

A cozy bar, a good and relatively quiet setting for after work drinks with friends. It is part of the hotel, but you forget it is, as the bar is separated from the lobby.

We enjoyed our time sitting outside in the evening. You can see the stars. Food was good, service amazing. Good list of drinks too. Even a kids menu. The whole family enjoyed themselves. I recommend the pistachio mousse for desert.

I absolutely love visiting this hotdog stand on Sundays, when Sarah is there! Her hotdogs are hands down the best, made with love and passion that truly sets them apart. The warm and welcoming atmosphere she creates is unbeatable, making every visit a delightful experience. While there are a variety of people working at the stand, I always make sure to go on Sundays when I know Sarah is there. Her exceptional service and dedication to her customers deserve a 10-star rating! If you haven't tried her hotdogs yet, you're missing out on a fantastic treat. Highly recommended for a delicious and heartwarming experience! 👍🌭 Thank you Sarah, for your exceptional customer service!

I like the fact that this place is open 24/7 when I walk by day or night. This store has motivated to continue persevering with issues that I am struggling with atm which is weird. Just the fact that this store runs in warm weather, cold weather, rain or shine makes a difference. The people that run the place rotate so I did not feel bad for the person working there all day. Hot dog costs $3.50 and they take cash only. The downside is a small weight with waiting, and bun may not be fully toasted.
Rahul Rajiv - 4 years ago

I drove from Etobicoke just to grab a spicy sausage at 1am. Why? Cause this location is good. Pros: toasts bun perfectly Gives you 2 napkins instead of one Has all the condiments including bacon bits and corn relish and honey mustard Cons: a little slow but worth the wait

This is a Toronto style hot dog stand. You will see many of these around in the summer time. There is a small selection of hot dogs and sausages as well as toppings. From time to time I get a hankering for some 'street meat' as the locals say and so this is my local stand. Notes - Toronto Public Health mandates the Hot Dogs must be kept cooked and held in hot water above 74 degrees before they are put on the grill for serving - so the chance of getting sick from under cooked meat is highly unlikely. As these stands are outside, and not connected to a high speed internet connected debit machine you should expect that they will only take cash. It is also likely these stands will not accept $50 or $100 bills nor will they accept payment entirely in nickles and dimes.

Confusing entrance off Bloor. Didn't know if there was a host or seat ourselves. We had reservations, so 🤷. Liked the water options. We chose sparkling, and it's opened fresh in front of you. Menu online is different from what is provided in person. For example, Caramel Espresso Martinis. The food was good, hot, and fresh. Service could've been more efficient. It appeared they were down a few servers for the number of people that were coming in. The whole atmosphere is comfortable, and although we won't be back, we definitely recommend this place to others.

We were guests staying upstairs in the Kimpton Hotel and came down for breakfast. Our experience here was so lovely. The restaurant was quiet and we loved having a window seat. Eggs were cooked perfectly and the fruit was fresh. We found the coffee a little strong for our liking but likely many would find this admirable. The server was able to accommodate my husband who is vegan as well. We will be back for breakfast the next time we stay at Kimpton!

We had a great dinner with the Spinach & Artichoke Dip which is a filling appetizer! Then we had the Fish & Chips and Chicken Souvlaki. The portion was huge and the taste were so authentic! The batter of the Fish & Chips is so good and it is one of the best Fish & Chips in Toronto. The chicken is so juicy from the Chicken Souvlaki! Looking forward to our next visit!

This place was an awful-smelling dive before the renovations. Now, it’s high-end looking, yet still fits the university aesthetic with the wooden books on the shelves - much improved. The service was fantastic, with the server explaining the specials, catering to all the unique requests from our party, and even considering the pros & cons of the perfect cake slice for my friend’s birthday.

Came here with the kids for lunch. Food was really good. Our server Don was just delightful and super friendly. We had steak, wings, calamari and Cobb salad. Everything came out on time and delicious!
