Great experience at Tim Hortons 246 Bloor Street West! I tried the Pistachio Latte and it was delicious. The team made my order quickly, and Belle was very friendly and welcoming. The service was fast and efficient, even during busy hours. The store was clean and well maintained, and my order was prepared correctly and with care. Definitely a reliable spot for a quick coffee and breakfast. Keep up the great work!

"I had a fantastic stay here, but the highlight was definitely the dining experience. The food was exceptional—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. What really stood out, however, was the manager SHAIL. They were incredibly attentive, ensuring every guest felt welcomed and that the service was seamless. It’s rare to see such high-level leadership on the floor. Highly recommended!"

I don’t usually leave reviews, but I just had to give a shoutout to Chris at the Tim Hortons on 246 Bloor Street West. He went above and beyond with his service. He was so friendly, fast, and genuinely kind. You can tell he really cares about the customers, which makes such a difference! The place itself has a great vibe too, clean, relaxed, and a nice spot to sit and enjoy a coffee. We had a great time there, and it honestly made our day a little brighter. Big thanks to Chris and the team for creating such a positive experience!

Loved celebrating our anniversary here! The pasta dishes are amazing. Our special tiramisu surprise dessert to celebrate was absolutely the sweetest. Amazing service too. Can’t wait to go back!

We went on Valentine’s Day. The greeter was a young guy wearing a hoodie. The waiter was a little rough and service was so/so. No candles or lights on the table. It lacks atmosphere and nothing would indicate it was VD Day. The appetizer and salad were good. I had the seafood pasta. 2 mussels were closed and a 3rd I needed to take out of my mouth as it was bad. The pasta was tasty but I did pay a price for the bad mussels. The veal was cooked well the sauce was ok. This restaurant has to put in a better effort. Dress, friendliness of the staff and atmosphere are all important in deciding to come back on a Saturday or special occasion. For 2 the bill was $230 so expectations are a little higher if you’re in the $100+/person territory.

What a gem of a restaurant. Service was on point. Food was devine; you will not go home hungry! A family restaurant worth visiting. Despite being in the heart of the city, we felt like we were sitting on a patio in the country, quiet and serene. Will definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an authentic Italian venue.

We went to the restaurant to have some nice Italian food. I didnt i ordered the chicken breast pizza and gnocchi… Pizza was terrible, it tasted like a frozen pizza. Gnocchi was okay but i’ve had better gnocchis.. overall not a good food was pretty bad. i wanted to try the tiramisu because i’ve heard so much from a friend about it. But after the food experience i was discouraged! Service was great. 2 start is for that reason

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Fieramosca, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. This elegant Italian restaurant delivers in every aspect: food, service, and atmosphere. The moment I walked in, I was impressed by the warm, sophisticated ambiance. The tasteful décor and inviting layout created a perfect setting for a memorable evening. It felt both upscale and comfortable, ideal for a relaxed dinner. The service was outstanding. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly, offering thoughtful recommendations and ensuring that every detail of the meal was perfect. The food at Fieramosca truly shines. Every dish we ordered was fresh, beautifully presented, and bursting with authentic flavours. From the first bite to the last, the quality and care in preparation were evident. It was a genuine celebration of Italian cuisine. I gladly give Fieramosca a full 5 out of 5 stars and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch Italian dining experience. It’s a place I’ll definitely return to again and again.

We went to Hangout with friends, and the whole vibe of the place was amazing. The food was really good—especially the nachos, which came in a huge portion and tasted great. The waiters were very professional and attentive. We had a wonderful evening. Highly recommend!

We arrived an hour early for our reservation so we could catch the start of the Blue Jays game. They were super accommodating. Moved us to a private area with a kick ass TV when 7pm came Service was friendly and food was great. Our reservation was for twenty made back in May. We were celebrating 40 years since our graduation and that pub made us feel like our twenties. Great fun and I don't think we were the oldest group. There was a line up of young people at the door when we left! Great evening. THANK YOU NEIL!!

Must-visit if you like pubs. The layout of the house is maze-like and really fascinating, and each room plays a different kind of music, creating a different atmosphere. The people there were very friendly, and the menu items were also not overpriced. Best of all, entry is free!

Came here for lunch after a class and it was a good time. The place is huge! Lots of space downstairs and upstairs. Many pool tables, juke boxes, slots, and bars to sit by. The beers were cold and smooth. I ordered a burger off the lunch menu and it was only $10!! I was shocked because I also got fries with it, you're not getting a meal at McDonald's with fries for that price, especially if you have to also order a drink like we did for the burger. The burger was decent and definitely better than the average fast food spot. I'd come back to try other things on their menu. I also had a tequila shot which they had decent options for a pub. Overall good experience I'll be back to try more.

I’ve been to Madison Avenue Pub a few times for meet-ups, watching soccer, and hanging out with friends—it’s always a good time. The vibe during soccer games is unbeatable, with a lively crowd and plenty of screens. The food is solid—I’ve had the fish and chips, chicken sandwich, and fries, all consistently good. Service is usually great, though it can slow down a bit when it’s really busy, which is fair. Overall, a fun, reliable spot for drinks, classic pub food, and catching the game. Definitely recommend!

I have been wanting to try this place for a long time and it did not disappoint. The pizza was incredible. The sourdough crust was truly an amazing experience on its own. Unlike most pizza I have had in Toronto, it was not burnt on the bottom which made a huge difference to me and I appreciate the attention to detail. The sauce and toppings were perfectly balanced and thoughtfully paired. The service was excellent and even Nonna came to check on us. It has a beautiful family atmosphere. I really enjoyed the vibe and the warmth of the staff. I will definitely be back hungry for more.

I grew up Italian. This is the best Carbonara I have ever had. Tiramisu was outstanding. Delicious calamari. Authentic, delicious, and wonderful service. Special treat was a visit from Nonna to check on us. We cannot wait to return!
Patricia DiCresce - 4 months ago

I’ve been here soooo many times and it’s consistently one of my favourite Italian spots in the city. Everything is made from scratch with great ingredients. They’re known for their sourdough pizza and pasta, and I love that they’re always updating the menu with new ideas — new pastas, new pizzas — while also offering rotating specials. One time I had a liver and onions dish that was honestly the best I’ve ever had. What really makes it special is that it’s truly family-run: the owner is the chef and you’ll even see Nonna (the family grandma) in the kitchen cooking. With so many Italian restaurants in Toronto, this place really stands out for its authenticity and the care that goes into the food. Highly recommend.
Nikolas Foulidis - a month ago

Best fettuccine carbonara I’ve ever had—no cream, just eggs, guanciale, pecorino, and pasta cooked to perfection. Rich, silky, and balanced. Family-owned place, with Nonna in the kitchen keeping an eye on quality, and owner Joe engaging with guests. Warm, authentic, focused on food rather than trends. Highly recommended!
Eric Barends - 2 months ago

Wonderful little Italian restaurant super close to St George Subway on Bloor St. I don’t recommend going without a reservation. I ordered a gf pizza made with pesto and mushrooms. The owner came to make sure I was getting something that worked for me as I had asked for gf, no dairy and no tomato. Tough call in a an Italian place but as I can tolerate Parmesan the pesto was amazing. The pizza was piping hot and delicious Too bad they have no sorbet. Dessert is limited to two items: tiramisu and a cookie. I would go back knowing the limitations. The ambience is amazing and it’s obviously a very popular spot.

My husband and I came in for lunch and we were not disappointed! The sandwiches were delicious. So fresh and full of flavour. The service was awesome as well. We will be back for sure!
Christina Cavotti - 3 months ago

My wife and I visited this amazing establishment since we were in the area. We ordered coffee and a sandwich. The sandwich tasted fresh and the staff told me they make the bread in house. The staff and owner are very lovely, warm, kind, and welcoming. I am definitely coming back to try their other baked goods and drinks. Grazie!!!

I absolutely love L’Espresso Bar Mercurio. I’ve been here many times, and it’s always amazing. The cappuccino is so good every single time, and I genuinely love their sandwiches. They’re fresh, filling, and just really well done. The place is cozy and welcoming, whether you’re grabbing a quick coffee or sitting down to relax. The staff are always friendly and make the place feel warm and comfortable. This is one of those spots I always recommend if you are on the go and for amazing coffee!

This place has such a beautiful, inviting vibe, with great service and friendly staff. The atmosphere is fantastic, truly memorable after just one visit. The coffee is good, though a bit on the expensive side.
Ann Marie - 7 months ago

If you’re looking for a real sandwich place, I definitely recommend Lespresso Bar Mercurio. This is my 4th time visiting this crazy busy lunch café. I ordered their daily lunch baked veal sandwich on their in-house schiacciata bread with their creamy stracciatella cheese, tomato sauce, and pesto. It was put together perfectly tasty. Thumbs up to the chef. Also, there’s nothing better than having your bread a little crispy. Bravo guys! I guess this will be my weekly treat, but I really wanted to try their smoked salmon the lady said she made in-house. So if anyone is looking for flavour and quality, Lespresso Bar paninis is a home run, minus the long line up, but I guess that’s lunch hour. 👍.🙌🏼 Hands down to the owners.

I went to Duke of York five times in Jan/Feb 2026 with three different friends and twice in December 2025 with the same friend - and each time was amazing. All I have to do is to bring a friend here once - and we are back again! I realized that I never left a review, or take pictures or talk about the amazing staff. So - I decided I wanted to go back and TAKE PICTURES and do a long over-due review! I went on 'Wing Wednesday' because they have the best wings, ever anywhere ( totally British - "BBQ" sauce is called "mild" - just FYI) ... First our server MURPHY - who served us a few times is absolutely amazing and very detail oriented. We wanted water ( no ice with lemon) and (ice, no lemon) and she had it on our table within a split second and I had some dental issues and she made sure that all my requests were met and delicious. Thank you, Murphy!!! So - here are the photos from my "work" Wing Night which I enjoyed so much and did some work too! I felt comfortable enough to put on my earphones, enjoy my WINGS and looking forward to the next dinner at the "Duke". - Gloria :) Grant - your team is amazing and thank you for your kindness!

Really busy spot after a concert a Koerner Hall! Sweet potato wedges were an amazing way to start - hot and with a perfectly crispy outside, fish was very good, and I enjoyed their in-house tartar sauce recipe. A good selection of brews complements the pub standards on the menu. Thank you for squeezing us in, even though you were heavily booked. Staff were all very friendly and personable even with the volume of patrons.

Great serving of fish and chips, really enjoyed the chips in particular. Sticky toffee pudding tasted liked just a muffin top with insufficient caramel to cover the top. Unfortunately on the day we went, there were two flies that wouldn’t leave us alone.
Ian Chang - 3 months ago

The soft pretzel with a cheese and beer sauce was an exquisite taste with the sauce being extra thick. The burger’s portion was pretty big and the fries were very crispy too. Our server was extremely nice and checked up on our corner table often!
musclovvv - 3 months ago

I just needed to leave a review to say just how amazing the chicken fingers/tenders are buffalo style. They are so crispy and stay crispy throughout the whole meal despite being drenched in sauce. And the sauce was really well balanced and not overpowering and amazing with ranch. I still think about this dish, so I highly recommend it.

A nice selection of dogs and condiments. I've tried them all and haven't been disappointed at all, they're quite tasty. Everyone I encountered there was very nice and friendly, but Sarah is their shining star!!! Her customer service is second to none. Truly a pleasant experience.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had both dinner and brunch at The Fortunate Fox and truly enjoyed the experience. The atmosphere is vibrant yet cozy, making it perfect for both a relaxed evening and a lively brunch. The space has great energy without feeling overwhelming. Dinner felt elevated but approachable, with beautifully presented dishes and well-balanced flavors. Brunch was equally impressive — fresh, satisfying, and thoughtfully prepared. Overall, it’s a great spot for a stylish night out or a weekend brunch in Toronto. I would definitely return.

My friend and I really enjoyed the pizza, and dessert! I got the cheesecake with apple compote (you may notice there is no picture - I devoured it in record time 🤩) The atmosphere was also super nice, it felt very fancy.

I stumbled into the Fortunate Fox after a small concert on a random autumn Wednesday. My options were McDonald's or anywhere else, as it was pretty late (9-11pm). I convinced my partner to go there with me, as they were open until 2 am and it was 1/2 price wine night and man were we surprised. To be honest we had no expectations going in besides late night food and alcohol but not only was the interior cozy and beautiful (and had many diners for such an odd date and time), the service was great (thanks Deline, hoped I spelt that correctly) and the food was to die for. I wish I was kidding, they have the best Caesar salad (Kale Caesar no add-ons) I've ever eaten and I consider self a connoisseu). It was so cheesy and the croutons were so crunchy and the BACON!!! Omg the bacon... I don't think I've ever had a Caesar salad where the bacon-to-salad ratio was so perfect. Please never change!!! We also had the Halloumi fries, it came with only four fries but they were decently large and paired very well with the salad. The sauce they came with to dip was great too, very tomato-y and a tad spicy. Anyway, to sum things up, we had a great time and will be back!

I had a late night weekday hangout with some colleagues here and it was a chilled experience. We had some drinks, and had a good chat. The service was smooth and swift. The atmosphere was conducive as well

This place is absolutely unique. Don’t be confused when you walk in as it looks like it might be a crystal store. But they just sell crystals and natural products at the front and the cafe section is deeper in the space. I love the atmosphere with all their natural, wooden tables and chairs. It’s very much a boho zen alternative vibe. Their drinks are absolutely delicious too. My go to is always their London fog.
Kaitlyn Jung - 4 months ago

Alternity is a very peaceful and inviting café with a unique atmosphere. The wooden tables are carved in organic, whimsical shapes, and there are cushions and carpets on the floor, soft lighting, and unusual mirrors that add to the mood. The drinks are delicious, and everything is fully eco-friendly - no plastic at all. At the entrance there is a small shop with beautiful stones, books, and a variety of teas - a lovely touch that makes the place even more special. It’s also in a great location - close to the ROM, Koerner Hall, the Ontario Parliament, and the University of Toronto.

I've been coming here at least once a month for a few years now, both to hangout and for events. Great cafe, unique vibes. I am specifically posting to share that there are now gluten free wraps. As someone with a gluten sensitivity, I really appreciate this. Food available includes wraps, salads, bagels and lovely vegan desserts (which seem to be gluten free as well). Thank you for expanding your menu!
Anna Chen - 3 months ago

Such a unique experience in this hidden cafe! Right off the bat, walking to the front of this lovely place is already welcoming with pretty tiles decorating the outside. On the inside is such a comfortable vibe, with a lot of seating and absolutely beautiful decor. I love that they serve plant based drinks, truly a great option for those who don’t consume dairy. They also lend you free tarot cards for you to use with your friends. The lavender latte was also great, although a bit too milky for my tastes, it wasn’t too bad for the price.
cheeselord - a year ago

I tried the matcha and quinoa puff and it was absolutely delicious—definitely on the sweeter side, but really enjoyable. What stood out even more was the exceptional customer service. My friend needed to check for sugar in certain items, and they kindly provided a full binder listing all the ingredients in their sweets. Super thoughtful and accommodating! Will definitely be back.
