Toronto restaurants within a 5 minute walk of Bay Station | Ratings, Reviews & Maps

I've been here a few times and the experience is always pretty good. The food and drinks are delicious and the wait to receive them after ordering is pretty quick. The staff are nice and helpful, it just takes a while to flag one down. I'll definitely visit again and this is a place I recommend.

I had my graduation party at The Pilot over the weekend and I was so impressed! The food and the drinks were delicious and the staff were so attentive. When planning my party with the event staff they were very accommodating and helpful. I had various allergies in my party and everything ran very smoothly. The atmosphere was also very lively. I would definitely recommend hosting your events at The Pilot!

Expect mediocre food but the dining atmosphere was great. Might be better when there’s live music or if you’re here to grab some drinks, rather than expecting a nice meal. We went for lunch during a weekday. It was not busy and we were seated fairly quickly. We did have to walk up a staircase to access the patio and it can be challenging for some. The service was great and the staff were professional. Our food came out at a reasonable time and water was served in jugs to the table. However, the food was very mediocre, way too heavily seasoned(at least for my chowder), and the portion runs on the smaller end.

I recently had my birthday celebration at The Pilot. The reservation process was very comfortable to navigate, and very flexible to be accommodating as possible. The staff was always kind, and helpful. On the day of the celebration, the same was true in terms of the service! I am so grateful to Tabitha and everyone who made the evening the success that it was. Thank you so much.

Michelle was incredibly helpful! She assisted me in retrieving a missing coat, which I had accidentally left in a private party space due to a miscommunication within my group. The jacket had been taken home by the party host, but Michelle stayed on top of the situation and communicated promptly throughout the process. Coral (phonetically spelled) was also very helpful when I went to pick up my coat. Great people and excellent service, and highly recommend!

As a regular dining in Yamato since 1998, I have no negative things to say, their food was always up to a standard, however last night’s teppanyaki dinner was good but not great, it seems like portion gone slightly smaller, meat thinner, veggies a bit less, only the delicious fried rice stays the same Service was top notch as usual. The place could get a facelift given it’s fairly old, ventilation getting worn out so it could get extremely smelly while the place is packed with people ordering grills, and a little too dark for a family restaurant

Note: The restaurant is separated into two areas - the sushi area and the teppanyaki area. Entrance is at the sushi area! We tried their teppanyaki. Food itself is tasty and fairly priced. Great spot if you are looking to dine with a bit of a culinary show by the chef! They will crack many jokes and gags along the way. Wonderful experience overall, would highly recommend for group gatherings. Seating was comfortable and decently spacious - bathrooms were also nice and private and decently clean. Will be back!

Really enjoyed our experience. We took the whole family including several toddlers. Everyone had an amazing time. The food was very good. The chefs know how to put on a great show. Very reasonably priced. The whole restaurant was full of families so a great place to take kids for a great experience.

Very very very good fish - with actually somewhat reasonable prices. Service was so-so, and the place feels a bit cramped for what you pay. Nice joint, would go again, but the vibe feels like any other cheaper sushi joint (and this isn’t cheap)

Beautiful Yorkville. what happened Yamato? Obviously a great patio. I came for Lunch .The attendant was friendly but it took 40 mins to get my meal. My miso tasted like chicken noodle soup, it was still good but not miso. The photo , Teriyaki shrimp. The picture is exactly seconds after it was given to me, I didn't touch it. The picture speaks for itself . There was hardly anything on my plate. Food was served terribly, everything was very greasy. Like one mushroom, 4 pieces of zucchini the rest was onion. Very bizarre.

Nice Old Toronto bar type feeling. I wish the upper floors were open when I visited. I enjoyed all the food, it was all fresh. The menu wasn't too complicated. For price to food- the poutine was my tables favorite. Only 12$ for such a large portion! The gravy and cheese were perfect. The bruschetta was awesome, tasted very fresh and honestly it was a lot to have alone. Id recommend splitting the app to leave room for the main. Also had a couple sandwiches, that were great but a little bit over toasted. I personally would not recommend the Grilled Cheese, as it felt like cheap square cheese on wonder bread. Other wise all the food was great, especially the pesto stuff 🤤

Love it here! Came here on a Tuesday around 11 and stayed until 4am. They let you study if they’re not busy and if you continue ordering snacks and drinks. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Theres two levels which is cozy but not very spacious. Upstairs is really beautiful. Food was delicious and reasonably priced. Only mistake is that I ordered a warm apple cider since it’s fall season but they gave me the alcoholic one in a can, I tried asking for the warm one but they looked confused.

7 West Cafe has a wonderful ambience and I really enjoyed the restaurant space. My friend and I got pasta, and our respective choices were both amazing. My friend got the Pesto Pollo which was so fragrant and tasted just as exquisite as it looked. I got the mac and cheese and I added chicken to it. The mac and cheese may not have a traditional yellow hue, but don’t be fooled. This cafe’s mac and cheese is some of the best I’ve ever had. I look forward to going back and trying more of their menu.
Zarin Rahman - 3 months ago

Best Mac and cheese in the city! Order it with bacon and indulge in a delicious meal. This location is the ultimate after-party destination when you’re downtown. Staff is always on point and the chefs know what they’re doing! Restaurant itself is quite compact, so big groups isn’t the best move unless you get lucky. Intimate dining experience and dim lighting makes it feel really elegant. I’ll be back soon enough after a night out, thanks for always doing a great job!

I really liked my experience here. I went in the morning on a friday when they have their $10 breakfast special. They don’t mention this special when you’re in the restaurant, or maybe i missed it, so i’d check online on their website to see if this special is still occurring before going in thinking they’ll have the special. The restaurant was busy, but staff was still very attentive and work very quickly, so I was really happy with the service, given the circumstance. I really like that I was given a glass jug of water for me to pour my own water. I drink a lot of water, so it was nice that I didn’t have to call for a staff member to refill my water every time. Food came out in a timely manner and the food was really good, especially for the price. I would go again and bring some friends if the special is still available in the future.

I had a delightful evening at Sassafraz! We were seated in a beautiful spot under the skylight. From the appetizers to the main dishes, everything was excellent, especially the salad! The only reason I’m giving 4 stars is because it took unusually long to receive my cocktail, likely due to an issue at the bar. Despite this small hiccup, the overall experience was great, and I would definitely recommend it!
Anne LM - 2 months ago

The asparagus lemon soup was superb. I had the "Betina Salad" Tomato and peach with fresh avocado. I call it "Betina" because our server suggested the Avocado addition. She was delight. She made our girls luncheon memorable. I highly recommend.

The food at Sassafraz never disappoints. I’ve mostly been here for events and the prix fixe menu items have been pretty good. The steaks are cooked perfectly. Would love to come back and try their regular menu as well.

Beautiful interior, and the service was excellent. The food was quite good as well. They offered us free champagne and macrons at the end of the meal! I would recommend the truffle fries!

I ordered delivery to my home. The food was delivered quite quickly and was beautifully decorated. This was my first time trying this restaurant and I was quite surprised because the sashimi here is very fresh. Everyone in my family complimented me on how delicious it was. I will definitely come with my family and friends to enjoy the restaurant next time. It’s located right next to Bay station, very easy to get around, so if you have the chance, you should try it.

Had a great meal at Sushi Inn! The place was cozy, and the staff were super friendly. Everything looked great on the plate and tasted even better. Highly recommended! I’ll definitely be returning to explore more of their menu! 🍣 🍜

The sushi at Sushi Inn is absolutely top-notch! My friends and I had a great experiences, were greeted warmly by the staff, who were attentive and welcoming throughout our visit. We ordered a salmon platter, add a sushi combo ,and as you can see from the picture, the presentation was beautiful. The salmon was incredibly fresh and vibrant, with each slice and roll tasting as amazing as it looked. The sashimi and maki rolls were melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The service was quick and attentive, and the cozy atmosphere made our dining experience even more enjoyable. If you're a sushi lover, this place is a must-visit! We’ll definitely be returning soon.

I wanted to try a Bento Box and decided to get the Gold Box with salmon! It came with miso soup and sushi (cucumber and salmon rolls). The salmon with teriyaki sauce was delicious, as were the spring rolls. The dumplings and sushi were okay. Overall the meal was filling and delicious. The staff was very friendly and the atmosphere cozy.

The food and ambience here was delightful, we chose the food options. We asked the server for the best recommendation for the drinks, and we weren't disappointed at all. They have a wide variety of deserts, and we went for what they recommend and were really satisfied. Five stars for the service and value of the food.

Smashing IT! This is most definitely my go to place when I'm craving cheesecake! There coffee is amazing as well. Great customer service. Great vibes. They have an amazing selection of cheesecake. Ya try to just order one slice, I dare ya, it's impossible! LOL

I wanted to explore beyond Yonge Street and I found this great place, you might miss it because it's nested below street level but look for it, you won't regret it. They are conveniently open late. First you are welcome to a great barista guy which suggests you a good drink and what cheese cake pair it with. Then you pick between indoor or outdoor sitting. The cheesecake is fabulous, it has a great texture and a very tasty flavour without being overpowered by the sugar level. The ingredients in there are properly mixed for you to enjoy. Their coffee selection is very good. I had the opportunity to try the Spanish Coffee and it was good, the alcohol flavour was properly mixed. The staff is very good that I had the opportunity to try another coffee drink that didn't disappoint either.

I went here with my girlfriend for some dessert. The location of the cafe was very nice too in a cute neighborhood in Toronto. The interior was very nice as well and the server was nice. We ordered one slice of their caramel cheesecake. The cake tasted great and was super good. You can tell without before even eating the cake the it was made in house and was not store bought or ordered from a third party. Overall I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to grab a bite of cake in a cozy place.

AYCE Korean BBQ. Good price but not authentic Korean style. The kimchi was not very good and very limited bunchan (side dishes). Missing some essential items such as sesame oil, soybean sauce and raw garlic. The survey we had within our group indicated that no one wanted to return for the BBQ again.
Harry Zheng - 2 months ago

140$ for two people to eat (all you can eat) and share ONE drink. Honestly, this place could look better(in terms of cleanliness and interior, + plastic cups are absolute joke, they tasted funky) and have bigger selection for the price per person, but staff was friendly and always making sure plates don’t stay on the table, stars just for that. And as other people said, tips are included in the price. Better suggestion for the same prices if you’re wondering : Shinta. Very luxury place and very big selection.
Alice Ferguson - 2 months ago

I’ve come a few times and the tables are setup very nicely for a larger or smaller group to be able to cook their food and share all appetizers and sides. The staff is great but service can be slower when it’s busier around lunch time.
Maddy Saville - a month ago

My team went there after our games for all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ. The food was great, and the servers were very fast and polite :] They accommodated our large group very quickly. The strawberry ice cream was delicious as well. I've never tried this kind of food before, and I would recommend this restaurant to other first-timers! :D

Nice place for a barbecue time! From outside it looks small, however there is plenty of space for everyone! We tried all you can eat option which is approximately $36 per person and you can have unlimited meat, fish, side dishes and vegetables. You are ordering through your phone scanning QR code on the table. It is a bit confusing , however after first time we got used to it. The service is fast and friendly! The location is perfect as it is near Bloor station.

We made a reservation for Friday lunch on the patio to make the most of last days of summer and patio season. We were seated very close to the bar and we could see everything coming out of the downstairs kitchen and being served to other customers; everything looked so delicious. We ordered “Thai Chicken Salad”. The ingredients were fresh and the sauce was very delicious. The service is fast and staff are friendly. Parking could be a challenge here, but it’s perfectly accessible through subway.

They have a nice rooftop patio/bar that's great for date nights or hanging out with friends. The food was not bad although it's your standard pub/bar fare. The fish and chips were crispy and the fries were like Costco fries (yum), and the portions are actually huge. Service wasn't bad either but sometimes quite hard to flag down our server since she was always busy making drinks at the bar too. Definitely a cool place to go to, and I'm glad I tried, but probably not for me again!

We had a terrific time on the rooftop patio. Service was terrific, I really enjoyed my avocado peach salad, my partner enjoyed his clubhouse sandwich but it could have used a bit more lettuce and tomato. All in all a nice place to spend a warm summer afternoon!
Suzanne MG - 4 months ago

Great fish and chips that had a very tasty big piece of fish. I had the butter chicken with rice and although the sauce was very good, the chicken pieces were very dry. I had to cut in small bites and run through the sauce in order not to choke. Also had to request more rice but was given white rice instead of basmati 🤷‍♂️ I would come back to be on the rooftop again, but definitely go to an Indian restaurant next time.
Alex Karayan - 3 months ago

We had a great time at this restaurant! The chicken fajitas were delicious, with tender meat and perfectly seasoned vegetables. The pitcher of beer was a great complement, cold and refreshing. The only reason I'm not giving five stars is because the service was a bit slow, but overall, it was a fantastic experience. We'll definitely be back for more fajitas and beer!

Trattoria Nervosa never fails to impress! We keep coming back for their mouthwatering pizzas – each slice is a perfect balance of crispy crust, fresh toppings, and rich flavor. The lasagna, though, is the true star of the menu – layered with perfectly cooked pasta, savory meat, and gooey cheese, it's simply to die for. To top off the meal, their desserts are a must-try. Whether it’s their creamy tiramisu, or rich chocolate cake, you can’t go wrong. Each bite feels like the perfect ending to an already unforgettable dining experience. Highly recommended for anyone who loves authentic Italian cuisine!

I recently visited this restaurant and had a mixed experience. The welcoming was great—the manager greeted us with a warm smile, which made us feel immediately at ease. The restaurant itself is cozy, with a beautiful interior design that creates a pleasant atmosphere. We chose to sit on the top patio, which added to the overall experience. However, there were some noticeable issues with the service and food. The waitress who served us seemed unhappy and didn't introduce herself, which affected the overall vibe. Unfortunately, all three dishes we ordered arrived cold. The kale salad with added chicken was oily, even though we specifically requested no oil, and the chicken itself was cold. The pizza had a partially burned crust, which left a noticeable burnt taste. As for the steak, it was cold when it arrived, and even after sending it back to be warmed up, it was returned to us still cold. The staff tried to explain, but it was clear they were not fully familiar with the proper process. While the food had potential to be delicious, these issues significantly impacted our experience. For these reasons, I’m giving this restaurant 3 stars. I hope they can address these concerns to improve the overall dining experience.

Overall great experience. They only accept walk-in, so I had to wait a few minutes, but the rotation was pretty fast, so I didn't end up waiting too long. The service was very quick. Staff were nice and regularly checked on our table. As for the food, it was great. However, I found the beef a bit tough. Other than that, the food was cooked well, and the flavor was there.

For my 28th birthday this year, I went to Trattoria Nervosa after work with two of my best friends. The food was spectacular, and the company was just as wonderful! I had the Risotto Nervosa, and it was the best risotto I've ever eaten! The Chocolate Cake was very rich but quite tasty. 10/10 service and somewhere I'd most definitely recommend and return to.
Cody Ogle - a month ago

It is a delightful experience in Trattoria. The food was delicious across the board. The salad was very refreshing and healthy, providing a great start to the meal. Both the pasta and risotto were well-seasoned, bursting with flavor. The pizza was a pleasant surprise, as it didn't feel heavy or fattening at all. The atmosphere was charming, and the service was commendable, especially as they were doing their best in the rain with water in the covered patio. Despite the weather challenges, the staff remained attentive and friendly, making our dining experience enjoyable.
