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.

I dont normally give 5 stars, but where credit is due, it has earned. David was wonderful with the bottle choice and recommendations on the food! He told us about the specials and was really helpful in enjoying our experience!

We had a fantastic experience dining here. The food was really good, we enjoyed everything from the carpaccio to the pastas to the homemade tiramisu. The staff, especially Edwin, were so kind and friendly ! Will be back soon.

We discovered this place in 2020 and go there when we can. The food is great and the service is great too. Except, during the last visit, at 615 PM. We were told they need the table by 8 PM multiple times. While there were a couple of tables available on the main floor, we were led upstairs to an empty space (felt like eating at home and not a restaurant), the food was somehow lcaking in flavor and the Server seemed to give off a vibe like he did us a favor by giving us the table in an empty room. He did his job, but the atmosphere was not top-notch. I met the owner the last visit and she was lovely, but this time.. just came away slightly disappointed. I'm not sure if we are going back there. PS the Tiramisu and the Almond Salad were awesome!

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

Very busy at around 11:30PM-2AM and great for students. Sooo many floors and different vibes for whatever you’re feeling. Tequilas also not watered down 👍 There may be a long line but it moves really fast. Overall had a fun time. Boy to girl is kinda off.

I got here regularly for football game on the weekend. I appreciate the fact they open the place that early Staff is always friendly and helpful. They have a special menu for early games which is amazing as we call get good breakfast options. They have a large selections of beers and drinks so that also helps. Sometimes I do feel they are short staffed for big games which the servers end up suffering as they just can’t keep up with peoples request.

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.

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!
Richard Covert - 2 months ago

Despite the menu saying that there would not be food substations, the waitress was helpful in accommodating our dietary needs. The food was good, but the portions were small for the high price of the items. The Gnocchi pasta was $39 and served on a large plate with a small amount of pasta.

Whether I’m in the mood for a quick drink or dining with friends, Bar Mercurio has something for everyone! If you don’t know what to order just ask Joe or Chef Mimo. I’ve made lifelong friends and I am always longing to return.

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.

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.
Anne Mary Pham - 2 months ago

A great place to pick up a quick lunch. They offer sandwiches, salads, coffees and desserts. It's self serve. Place your order, get your food and grab a seat. Gotta love a place that has a Fiat car right inside. Enjoy! P. S. NOT to be confused with Bar Mercurio across the street with a similar name. It's a sit down restaurant.

A very good French café on Bloor St W near University of Toronto. Great ambience and vibe - nicely decorated with French café vibe. Big windows overlooking a small garden that’s open in warmer months. And there is a vintage Fiat in the front. In fact when I visited there was a table of French (Parisian French !) speaking students in the corner. Formidable! I had a double Americano - very good. Strong with lots of crème the way I like it. Also the câpres salad sandwich. The sandwich was generously portioned (I like that!) with crispy focaccia bread creamy caprese sliced watercress tomatoes lots of butter and garlic. Lacked salt but otherwise très bon!! They also sell pastries and coffee beans. Will definitely be back to try other things!

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.

I absolutely loved the food, everything was made with fresh ingredients and the sauces were delicious. I particularly enjoyed the squash tacos and dragon fries. When I mentioned to the waitress that I was fasting, she kindly brought me some extra dates to break my fast,I didn't ask for them, which was an incredibly thoughtful gesture. The atmosphere is fantastic as well. I'll definitely be back to try more dishes!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Service staff here is great! From being seated to bring served, everyone was friendly. Big portion of fish and chips and good selection of beer from the bar.

When we first walked in we greeted by an extremely outgoing and super kind gentleman! We were quickly seated at our table although if you’re going during busy make sure to make a reservation, menu options were fantastic! They great deals on weekends but make sure to go after 4pm otherwise they don’t apply, we got some steaks and a pretzel and it was fabulous, steak was cooked to perfection just how we wanted and saltiness of the pretzel is just right! Our waiter was also exceptional and treated us with care and patience. Would recommend this place to anyone heading downtown!

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.

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
Nate B - 4 years ago

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!

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.

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!
