A place to enjoy your lattes
Glenn H.

Look I've tried this place 6 times same breakfast. I come here every two weeks, and this time could be my last. First you're not community place if you charge 9 dollars for a latte. Second I asked for based eggs, which is basically steamed eggs they cook perfectly, but yet this kitchen can't seem to get that. I don't understand why you have to overexplain breakfast in general. It's amazing how many people screw up eggs and bacon. This place does this everyday of the week. Honestly please just close your doors. We do not need another over priced restaurant that has no idea how to cook. If you have your breakfast or lunch meetings here you better off to go to McDonald's for the food it's a step up from this place. Seriously things need to change here. The food has not been great since it was the Thompson Hotel when the building first open. Let's breakdown this breakfast for you. Mixed potatoes were terrible over cooked. Eggs I sent back because they couldn't get them right. Bacon taste like it's been deep fried even though they say smoked. You can tell a lot by how good a restaurant is by their breakfast. So if you cannot get breakfast right that says it all right there. I'm sick of restaurants of any kind who just think a nice decor equals a nice breakfast , sadly it does not. Do yourself a favour go to a local spot that's open and if not then completely avoid this place for its food. You deserve better Toronto than this place that just can't get it right. Not only do you deserve better, but literally for two vanilla lattes and bacon and eggs with tip cost me $54 for breakfast unbelievable Please hurry up go out of business. Your food is terrible. And yes, this will be the last time that I come to this establishment/crappy hotel.

The 6ix with egg whites

Really great food and wonderful service. Their beverage selection was huge - any juice blend you could imagine. The thoughtful details were not expected but delightful - my friend ordered just a bagel with cream cheese and it came with flowers topping the cream cheese. Wish I got a picture.

Really cute cafe/brunch spot. I really like that they have coffee and cocktails! I got the Norwegian smoked salmon egg Benedict which was really good. I like that their potatoes are a mix or sweet potatoes, taro and regular potatoes. I also really liked the chicken and waffles. I thought their portions could have been a bit bigger though for the price. Their drinks are really pretty as well. I got the Biscoff espresso, I do wish it was a big stronger but other than that we had a good time. Our server was also very kind and very patient.

We stopped on here for an early dinner and had a great experience. Our server was very attentive and took the time to go over the menu and make the gluten free substitutions as requested. The ambience is gorgeous and our food was great. We all loved the soap in the bathroom too!

Inside decor!

Came here for Saturday brunch with my husband. A much needed break for us. There are a couple of Greenp parking lots near by. As we entered, we were greeted by friendly crew. They had our table ready. We didn't get the best view table cuz just the 2 of us so smaller table for us but their ambience and decor was pretty cool and natural..very calming yet modern. No loud music. Lots of people with friends, family and we saw lot of babies too...not seen many babies at brunch places like this. This was unusual yet good feeling of inclusivity. Service was top notch. Crew was friendly. Food was freshly prepared. Limited options for people who are vegetarian but don't eat egg. We got avocado toast so we were goid. Hope they add some options for this dietary requirements. We had a great experience. We'll be coming back.

We went here for Sunday Brunch, and it's very homey, cute, and comfortable. The menu had options for the savory and sweet breakfast fans alike, and our server was super kind and attentive. He brought us vanilla lattes, which I hadn't originally seen on the menu. I got the French toast, which was super filling, but very good. My friend and I both really enjoyed our meal and we would definitely go back!

Pork chop

After a less experience at Harriets I came downstairs for dinner. Had to be quick about it. The sun sets at 8:18. The restaurant closes at 9:00. It's tagged as a Michelin restaurant. It's not. The hotel is Michelin rated. Service was excellent. I enjoyed a local Canadian Pinot noir which was quite good. I was dining so low so it was a entree only kind of meal. I had the pork chop and opted for Caesar salad instead of watercress. Both were excellent pork was well cooked succotash was good enjoyed my meal.

Feel Good Margherita
Carol M.

We were here for a friend's birthday dinner. The service was stellar. Very friendly and helpful with a lot of great suggestions. Started tried a few of their signature cocktails. I was a fan of the feel-good margarita. It had turmeric around the rim instead of salt, which was interesting. We shared the pumpkin dip. It was served with Taro chips, which none of us had ever had before. It was delicious. I ordered rigatoni, which was a fresh take on a classic. The sauce was a Parmesan cream sauce with a garlic crunch. I also tried brussel sprouts in Garden roasted carrots. Everything was delicious. The brussel sprouts were interesting they were very light and crispy. We were there for a friend's birthday, and her son had a tray of desserts delivered to the table for all of us to share. So we got to try a little bit of everything. They were all good, but I think my favorite was the spiced cake with berries.

Wait staff was amazing, even remembering me and my plans that were discussed during our dining experience! Food, juices, smoothies, and lattes were perfection. Not complaints, thank you 1 Kitchen waitstaff!

We found 1 Kitchen sort of by accident, as we were shopping nearby at Stackt Market, and wanted a place where we could sit down inside and eat which wasn't a 'fast food feel'. A quick review of the menu convinced us that all three in our group could find something they liked, so we walked over around 1:30 pm on a Wed. There were several tables with groups of diners, but still lots of space available. The hostess decided to put us in a booth next to a window, which was perfect. The plants throughout the interior gave the place a comfortable peaceful vibe, and the light from outside made it feel bright and airy, but still cozy inside. The menus are online and you have to scan a bar code to see the offerings - this was one thing we didn't like. We know it's more environmentally friendly, especially when menus change often, but all of us had trouble getting the pages to load since we were from the states and roaming. There didn't seem to be a paper option though. Our server, Maxine, was great. She was very friendly and attentive. Among us we ordered a burger, an Earth Bowl, and a beet salad with added falafel. The burger came with a 'sea buckthorn jam' which we had never heard of, but Maxine was able to explain what it was like (sweet and tangy), offered to have the kitchen put it on the side, and also suggested some options for the fries that would compliment the zaatar spice. We appreciated all of her suggestions. The diversity of food offerings is amazing, with lots of vegan and vegetarian options and ways to add protein to any veggie-forward dish. We loved all of the food, but here are a few notes: The burger was perfectly cooked and served on a potato bun with a side of very thin pickles - it was very well balanced flavor and fat wise, and really enjoyable. The portion of zaatar fries it came with was huge and enough for all 3 of us to share. The Earth Bowl was a lovely mix of long grain wild rice, roasted butternut (?) squash, chick peas, sunflower seeds, herbs, avocado and a delicious lime cilantro dressing. My sister is very sensitive to ingredients that are old or off and she remarked how very fresh and clean this tasted. The beet salad was served with a generous portion of beets over a roasted cauliflower puree. The description said it had a maple walnut dressing, pickled pears, fennel and candied pistachios. I added falafel for some carbs and protein. It was delicious but was very light on the nuts, and the pears and fennel were not detectable flavor wise...I would have enjoyed the depth from more flavors... So overall, a lovely experience that I look forward to repeating, but I took a star off since the menu would be a challenge if you didn't have good cell service, and my dish fell short of expectations based on the menu description.

1K Falafel Burger
Helen M.

This place was very nice and fancy but good prices. The food was really good and clean ingredients-- me and my friend split the falafel burger and earth bowl. We also ordered smoothies, all of it was excellent and filling! Highly recommend, I was on vaca in Toronto and really want to go back to try their brunch next time. Service was excellent, waitress was the sweetest and super patient and helpful!

Norwegian eggs Benedict
Elvis A.

While they have the got the ambiance right the service and the food makes me wonder what the hype is all about. I had booked in advance so despite the overwhelming crowd got the spot quickly. The service is all over the place non existing to pleasant when paying the bill. I had the Norwegian eggs Benedict. Other person had the potato waffles plus the chicken add on. We both tried the honey ice cream, sugar pie with rhubarb I wanted to try the chicken so I had a piece. Oh this was so greasy that I couldn't get past the first bite. We are talking dripping oil all over sogfest. Eggs Benedict are decent but the house potatoes were all over smaller one being ok while larger pieces being undercooked Dessert were possibly the best item we ordered. Also it was so noisy that got noise fatigue an hour+ of sitting there. I can't possibly rate it better than 2.5 stars out of 5.

Went for a lunch with a few others and it was really great. We had a reservations but it wasn't too busy on a Thursday afternoon. The restaurant is really pretty. Lots of plants everywhere and natural light. The food was very good! I went with what the server recommended, which was the fried chicken sandwich. I ordered it with a Caesar salad. The Caesar salad was unlike any I've had before but was still very nice. The chicken sandwich was delicious but the chicken was 2 pieces so it was a little messy. The fries are also very tasty!! Oh and the think pink juice is sooo refreshing and sweet.

Every aspect from the sauce to the baguette to the meat was so tasty. I also recommend getting the garlic aoli for the fries. The drinks were very well done and unique in flavor as well, in particular I tried to the midnight show which was like a raspberry espresso martini. It was fantastic. The ambiance of the place is spectacular as well with a cool, library naturally, vibe. The servers were also great and helped accommodate my date who is gluten free, and her baguette replacement was the best that she'd ever had of a gluten free option.

They decorate the lobby, bar area, and the whole main floor with Christmas decorations during the holiday season, including the giant Christmas tree in the lobby (complete with its own lighting ceremony and live music performance). Good selection of drinks and great customer service. Fun facts: The Royal York Hotel opened in 1929. It hosted royalty, heads of state, and golden-age Hollywood legends like Cary Grant and Alfred Hitchcock when they were in town filming or staying upstairs in the hotel. Stepping inside is like time-traveling back decades, with velvet seating, brass accents, and dark, moody lighting. As soon as you walk into the Library Bar, the real centerpiece that grabs your attention is the massive oil portrait above the fireplace. That dignified gentleman watching you sip your drink is George Locke, the very first chief librarian of the Toronto Public Library. I love that a librarian is the patron saint of this bar! The drinks here aren't just cocktails; they're chapters in a story. The current menu, titled "Ink & Alchemy," is actually inspired by Michael Ondaatje's famous novel In the Skin of a Lion. Created by their award-winning mixologist James Grant, the menu is a tribute to the people who built this city: the immigrants, bridge-builders, thieves, and dreamers. You aren't just sipping a martini; you're drinking a liquid homage to Toronto's history.

Ambiance: Stunning from the moment you walk in. Despite the soaring ceilings and two-level layout, the space still feels intimate thanks to the dim, romantic lighting. We loved being seated beside each other rather than across from one another, an option I appreciated compared to the large half-moon booths in the centre of the room. Tables line the perimeter and upper level, while small trees with twinkling lights frame the booths, adding a whimsical, almost magical touch. A window displaying the cuts of steak was a fun and enticing detail. Appetizers & Mains: Every bite impressed. The seafood atop each piece of nigiri was incredibly fresh and buttery, literally melting in your mouth. The lobster mashed potatoes were an indulgent and unforgettable accompaniment to the perfectly tender steaks, which were thoughtfully presented tableside before cooking. Dessert: We saved room (and I'm so glad we did!) My cheesecake arrived beautifully plated with a candle and birthday message, while my boyfriend enjoyed the butter cake. Both were absolutely delicious and the perfect ending to the meal. Service: Every team member we encountered went above and beyond to make the evening feel special, but a heartfelt shout-out goes to our charming server, Vig. He was attentive, warm, and genuinely invested in ensuring each moment felt intentional and unique. He also shared enticing reasons to return for lunch, happy hour, and weekend brunch (options we had no idea the restaurant offered). Thoughtful Touches: From coat check, a welcome birthday cocktail, a personalized birthday card from the staff, to complimentary bubbly with dessert, every detail was thoughtfully considered.

Perched high above the bustle of downtown Toronto, LOUIX LOUIS makes a compelling first impression…read more The dining room is genuinely handsome -- a study in polished Art Deco glamour softened by sweeping city views that lend every table a sense of occasion. On a Valentine's Day brunch visit, the atmosphere alone was enough to justify the reservation. The kitchen demonstrates genuine competence: dishes arrive with care, the pacing is unhurried, and the mise en scène -- from tableside presentation to that now-famous thirteen-layer chocolate cake -- reveals an establishment that understands the theatre of fine dining. That towering slice of chocolate cake, in particular, is a masterstroke of marketing and pastry craft in equal measure; it draws the eye, earns its reputation, and very nearly steals the show. Where LOUIX LOUIS gives one pause is in the cuisine's ability to fully match its surroundings. The cooking is accomplished and reliably pleasant, yet seldom rises to the level of genuine distinction one might hope for at this price point. Dishes satisfy without surprising; technique is evident but inspiration, at moments, feels held in reserve. For the corporate traveller or the visitor seeking a polished, geographically convenient showcase of the city's skyline, this represents an entirely sound choice. For those seeking an experience whose flavours linger as long as the view, the kitchen has room yet to grow into its magnificent stage. Service is attentive and well-intentioned, though it can occasionally want for the depth of knowledge that elevates a good meal into a memorable one. LOUIX LOUIS is, in sum, a very good restaurant striving -- not quite yet arriving -- at greatness. The bones are exceptional; one hopes the culinary vision will, in time, catch up with them.
