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

Not gonna lie the 26oz prime bone in rib eye was alright. The meat by itself was juicy and chewy as expected for a medium rare+ . But it was seasoning which wasn't up to my standards. It was a little saltier than expected. Not only mine but my date's one too. As a fine dining restaurant it was hard to believe that they made this mistake. However ,overall our dining experience was good because of the service and the atmosphere inside.

Amazing service, very busy on a Saturday night. Steak was ribeye medium rare, slightly overdone and honestly nothing special, especially for the price. Had much better steak before at other steak houses in Toronto.

Morton’s is a fantastic place for dining. The food is excellent. However, I gave this a 4 star because I had some issues that just needed a little bit of attention and as the server was fantastic. He did everything possible to make sure we had the best service. But unfortunately we needed the help of the manager at the time whose name was Ryan and he was the reason why we didn’t have the experience we were expecting. He was extremely rude. Would not accommodate our concerns and I wonder how he was able to effectively attain his position. Unfortunately this was a big disappointment and I hope that there would one day be a manager that can accommodate a very simple concern. My servers name is Dormer. He was wonderful and it was a pleasure to be served by him.

Hemingways restaurant is top notch. Relaxed environment, friendly servers, awesome bartenders and excellent food. We had the following: Ernest Ribs platter, Linguine Shrimp pasta and Snapper Hemingway. Each was tasty. Everyone we have brought to dine here has enjoyed their meals and drinks. My wife and I have always enjoyed our visits there. Kid, elderly and handicapped friendly. Lots of free parking and there is a nice movie theater within the same plaza.

This restaurant has such a nice ambience! It's beautiful. The main floor has lovely green walls and bookshelves to give it a sort of comfy library feel to it. And the upstairs patio is gorgeous with windows all around in the cold to keep you warm. The food tasted great, but it was a little more pricey than some places. The nachos were loaded with toppings, but a little light on the cheese. However the buttermilk crispy chicken sandwich was to die for. Very filling, great services, amazing vibe!

Food is good. Sticky pudding dessert was awesome. Ambiance/atmosphere is definitely geared towards australian football fans. We went on a day when a game was on. It was so rowdy I couldn't hear myself think let alone have a conversation. So unless that's your crowd, I would avoid game times. Would probably come back and ask for a table away from TVs 😂

We had dinner at Hemingway's last night. We did not have a reservation but ended up getting seated right away. Even though it was early, the restaurant was very busy. The staff were very helpful. We ordered drinks and an appetizer. The drinks came out quickly followed by the sirloin bites. They were tender and flavorful. We then ordered our entrees. I received my soup and it was delicious! It was a bit of a wait for our entrees but the food made up for the delay. It was all amazing. We passed our plates around so everyone could try the food. We had jambalaya, sirloin steak and the jerk chicken burrito in a bowl. Kudos to the kitchen - the flavors were all spot on! We saved room for dessert and had the cheesecake and pavlova. Again, a wonderful job! It was great to see the staff work together to tackle the large groups and large volume of people during the holiday! Great teamwork!

Good vibrant atmosphere or chill, take your pick and find your spot. The real winner here is the Fish & Chips. A huge piece of perfectly lightly fried and fluffy haddock, so fresh and delicious. This was surprisingly a top 3 for me off all time best Fish & Chips anywhere in the world I’ve been. I’m not a fan of coated fries, but they were crispy on the outside and fluffy inside, even the Cole slaw side was great too. Definitely would order this again and again; so yummy. And another plus was the price, at $18, what a crazy good value for a nice sized portion. Highly recommend.

I had the pleasure of creating a flower installation for a wedding client with my business The Moody Blooms last summer. The operations staff were super helpful and loading in was relatively easy. The spaces available for a private function are filled with natural light and the decor/ furniture has a contemporary feel. This was my favorite venue to flower in the city. Thanks for having us! There is a elevator to access the restaurant space on the second floor. I also had a vendor meal during this lovely wedding and it was delicious.

I enjoyed the second floor more than the first floor. The exhibits on the first floor was a bit all over the place. The exhibits in the middle of the room had all the items' description on the left hand side, so you'd be breaking your neck looking back and forth to see the item being described. Some displays are placed waaaay too low on the bottom. The second floor was better organized, better lit, and more interesting (imo). Their website wouldn't let me buy a ticket (clicking on I agree to the terms wouldn't register), so had to go and buy it in person but at least I can get a Presto discount. The floors could've been cleaner and I saw the occasional fingerprints on the glass displays (this was during a working day so not much foot traffic). All that said, it was fun and informative to take in the historical tidbits about Chinese/Japanese/European ceramics/porcelains. You can easily spend above 2 hours if you take your time reading.

my favorite museum in toronto so far! the ceramic pieces were very delicate with fine details, accompanied by thoughtful explanations / captions. the hallway / staircase featured an exhibition on queer body, with plants, paintings and ceramics, a great addition to the experience. museums cafe and outdoor patio were also delightful.

Been wanting to visit the Gardiner Museum because it is right opposite the ROM. Finally visited today, and I was not disappointed. The museum specializes in clay and ceramic works . It has beautiful displays from all over the world both contemporary and ancient. If you want a quiet place to look at art without being overwhelmed then this is the place to visit. Was so lucky to even meet one of the local Canadian artists Silvana Michetti. She took time to explain to me how she makes her pieces. Her art is exquisite! Tickets are $15 for adults but admission is free on Wednesday afternoons from 4pm. And presto card holders get 20% off. Pro-tip: You can get in for free if you have a reservation at the Clay Restaurant but note that the restaurant is only open from 11am-3pm.

Museum of ceramics. Four levels. Modern and classic pieces from all over the world. The 4th level is usually for special exhibitions. There’s a restaurant with a terrace on the last floor as well. In the basement there’re pottery studios where you can learn wheeling and handling techniques of work with clay. On Sundays - Family days where you can create with your child from clay - perfect for basic introduction.

Went out for a date night a few weeks ago and loved this place! The atmosphere and food is lovely overall. The staff are super friendly and despite us not making a reservation, we were accommodated. We shared a salad, calamari and a pizza between the two of us and with the drinks we had, it was all we needed. The calamari is a popular dish and I could see why! The squid is tender, lightly battered and the sauce on the side is excellent! The tomato salad we had was simple but fresh and delicious. And finally the pizza we had was the gorgonzola and honey pizza. The gorgonzola was toned down with sweetness from the fig and honey. We felt the pizza was ok the sweeter side of our liking however gorgonzola is not everyone's cup of tea but I would have enjoyed a little more sharpness of this wonderful cheese. Last but not least, the cocktails here are lovely. They're a bit on the sweeter side but very enjoyable! We tried the espresso martinis, the lemonchello spritz and so on. Very enjoyable evening and I was happy that the restaurant had a more homey than pretentious vibe. Pricing was not the worst either. It came to $200 for the two of us with 3 rounds of cocktails. Drink s are expensive anywhere you go. Definitely recommend!

One of the TOP Italian restaurants in the city. Raymond the owner is the most gracious host. - Orecchiette with Induga sausage was one of the BEST noodles I’ve ever had. Smooth. Soft, not chewy at all. The meat was some of the best I’ve had with pasta - Rigatoni w/Ala Vodka - sauce was UNREAL. - Calamari was the BEST I’ve had personally. Smooth, soft, and not chewy. Light & flaky breading. - Arancini was great! - Lamb skewers were a necessary appetizer - grilled salmon so buttery and flaky

Great food in a prime location in Toronto where there are many other choices. The seafood was amazing esp. the fish. They were so good that it took us right back to Italy :) Highly recommend!!!

This place is so big with lots of floors, lots of patio and rooms, the service is impeccable, and the food is absolutely amazing, cooked with live and passion. The chef was extremely gracious and came to the table, offering a variety of dishes. The atmosphere is unmatched with its beautiful lighting, and the surroundings are amazing. The food is all authentic, obviously home made and literally melts in your mouth. You can take family or a group of people and have a wonderful time. Take a date and you are sure to have a second one, lol. This is a must try

Me and my group went on friday night. The place was small but had great great selection of gelatos !! Staff was super friendly and working so hard. We tasted a few and they were all so great. Fig, peach, pistachio and black sesame (recommended by the staff) was my favourites! We had 4 scoops cup and it was worth the money. I wish they renovate this place better so it’s more engaging and looks like a gelato shop. The vibe was more like a quick pizza take out shop.

They had a good variety to choose from. It was super yummy but my choices were a bit too sweet for me. It was a nice space to sit in and chat with my friend. I also loved their wall of flags from around the world.
Nana Khadijah - a month ago

Too good I cry 😭 The girl working at the time was so sweet. She explained all my questions and recommended really good flavours. I got the pistachio and raspberry which were recommended, and I gotta tell you their pistachio gelato is the best pistachio gelato I’ve had. I really mean it. Raspberry was also really good as well. It was also cute and nice of her to put the raspberry on top! I would come here often now that spring is approaching! Go try their pistachio!!!
Michelle Lee - 11 months ago

The cashier was super helpful and let me sample a couple flavors. She informed me the front row is all dairy free. The lime e coriandolo was my favorite, a yummy spin on a virgin mojito! Also they have indoor and outdoor seating
Tiarah Fowles - 8 months ago

the pistachio definitely the most memorable flavour, overall a decent gelato. the texture is quite creamy / however it melts quickly. I was not disappointed with my cup but it cannot compete with mizzica, however if you’re in this side of town, I recommend you choose this spot for good quality gelato. the space could use a rebrand as it’s quite dated considering it’s in yorkville.

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.

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.

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.

Had the BEST chicken McNuggets here! They were fresh out of the fryer and delicious. Just thought I’d leave a review to let them know that this made me very happy.

Friendly staff and usual McDonald's quality. Bathrooms were not so clean.

When visiting the Ontario Museum with children, choosing McDonald's for lunch is an excellent option! Since the museum allows re-entry with tickets, you can enjoy your meal leisurely and still make the most of your museum visit. It's convenient being just one traffic light away from the museum. I'm glad to hear that the interior of the restaurant was clean! Enjoy your day at the museum!

This is an excellent McDonald’s as far as downtown Toronto goes. Staff are the best usually! 98% of the time. However, It does say open 24 hours 7 days a week but on 5 occasions it closed!!! Two times asked to just GET OUT with 5 min notice and three times just closed. Website indicates 24/7 and they themselves claim to be 24/7 min person and with signage. But they do shut down for dine in suddenly. No notice and they falsely advertise 24/7 Actually that’s just not true. The manager was very rude and aggressive when he asked me to get out. I just got my food.

It's just opposite to the museum, and quite a good place to sit and enjoy the food. Food options are regular, but the ambience is good, there is option ro order from the kiosk itself.

Especially the chicken tacos!! Fantastic place . Highly recommend this location. Cute Back patio as well. Gets very busy So definitely make a reservation.. Paid parking lots on either side in Yorkville.

First visit to this place in Yorkville. We were seated in the back where they have a beautiful patio space. The ambiance is lovely and serene and I imagine it's lovely in the summer time. However we were here on a chilly, windy night but there are enough heaters to warm the place up nicely. We happened to be at the restaurant during happy hour and they have a decent menu! A few appetizers and cocktails are more than enough for an enjoyable meal. We tried the falafel, the zaatar shoestring fries, green chickpea hummus and while nothing really stood out, they were all good. I felt the fries didn't quite have the zaatar flavor and were a little bit on the salty side. The Falafels were excellent. The food hit the spot but the cocktails were sublime. To finish up we had the pistachio 'tiramisu' which was incredible! The light Philo pastry paired with the pistachio cream was light and delicious! Definitely a must try. The only not so great part about our evening is that we were seated under the staircase, like the Harry Potter books. There was a free table next to us for the whole time we were there but we were informed that the table was reserved (without checking). So we sat in a cramped space and a tiny table. Nonetheless this is still a must try in the area. I can't wait to come back and try some of the other offerings and definitely their other cocktails.

A very young atmosphere with an instagrammable interior. The Lamb Baklava was pleasantly surprising with both a savory and sweet flavour. We also ordered the Greek and Arabic fries - nothing super special but the greek fries were more preferred by our table. The Broccolini was very meh. The Shawarma was the star of the show. The chicken was very tender and had a crispy skin. Beware that the pitas are limited so you may have some chicken leftover. The Mac Pide was also good.

What a place! The "secret garden" is beautiful!! The atmosphere is different from the one in front of the restaurant. Regarding the food, we had the New Zealand Lamp Chop which was my favourite, but we also had the Grilled Prawns which were amazing as well, the chargrilled Octopus and a mushroom montadito. Overall the food was amazing.

What a great bar/restaurant. We went here for dinner and the service alone was amazing. Our server, Chris was very helpful with the menu from helping us on picking the cocktails to food items. The cocktails were very well done and the presentation was awesome. The food as well was great! Highly recommend the Miami Short Ribs and the Lebanese Taco’s. We will surely be back :)

Our server was great and welcoming. The decoration is nice. We ordered medium cowgirl steak, and it was over cooked and medium well to well done, look at the picture. Salad and fries pretty ordinary for a restaurant at this scale and price. The washroom wasn’t clean, the trash bin was over full although it was at a very low number of people time.

Very nice atmosphere, love the decor very modern but yet warm. A really nice bar that would be fun to have drinks and people watch:) We had almost all the appetizers on the menu I must say it was all tasty and so delicious. Great wine and cocktail menu. Will absolutely go back!!

Absolutely incredible from the food to the overall experience. We had the pleasure of having Charlotte as our waitress and she was hands down a delight to have. She was welcoming, pleasant and very knowledgeable of the menu. She made some great recommendations and everything was made to perfection. She made the experience for us! Now let’s get down to the food! Yum yum yum the steak was probably one of the best steaks we have ever had. We decided to get the porterhouse steak cooked to perfection. Our sides were Mac and cheese as well as brussells sprouts delicious and recommended!

Stepping into STK Toronto last night, I was immediately transported into a realm of culinary sophistication. From the elegant decor to the impeccable service, every detail was curated to perfection. The menu boasted a tantalizing array of dishes, each a masterpiece of flavor and presentation, from steak to seafood. Our waitress guided us expertly through the cocktail list, enhancing our dining experience even further. Every bite was a revelation, leaving us craving more. A truly unforgettable dining experience.
