Upon entering I was greeted with such a warm welcome, the environment is so beautiful with its dim lighting and comfy seating. Very cozy indeed, I can see people coming here for the winter for great meals and a comfortable evening! Food: [5/5] Corn Caesar Salad: This salad was so delicious I actually enjoyed it more than the pasta! (which was also very delicious). I'm not sure if it's the dressing they use mixed in with the bacon from the salad but it was just so delicious! I loved it! Spicy rigatoni: [5/5] Although it wasn't spicy it was still creamy and delicious! I enjoyed it so much. The Stracciatella made the pasta a lot more creamier as well! Steak (side): [5/5] This steak was phenomenal! It was seasoned beautifully and was the best side for the salad and the pasta (more-so the salad). I asked for it well done and got it well done and it was so delicious. Highly recommend the steak! Iced Biscoff Espresso: [5/5] Very strong but also balanced out by how sweet it is. It also looks nice as well. Service [5/5] Jay/Maxine -- My servers that night (9/22) were very friendly and fast when it came to service, he told me to flag him down when ready but he had a lot going on and I didn't want to disturb him especially since I was dining alone. But even with all that he had a smile on his face and remembered my order from top to bottom without writing it down. He also wished me an early happy birthday which was very nice of him and gave me some things to do while I'm visiting toronto. Thank you jay! Maxine also made sure I was ok making sure everything was fine, I was enjoying my meal, and had everything I needed. Ambiance: [5/5] This place is great for a date night / solo night with dim din lighting and comfy seating. It ms very beautiful and has a warm aesthetic to it I'd recommend this place highly for the looks alone! Overall, with a great atmosphere, fantastic service, and great food, comes with an even better time and I really enjoyed my night at this restaurant. Affordable if you're looking to alone or with a plus one. Highly recommend! Thank you Jay & Maxine! read more

A delightful Sunday morning breakfast. I had the breakfast sandwich with perfect eggs and tons of potatoes. The potatoes were a mix of 3 kinds and bell pepper pieces. Very good. She had the eggs benedict. Eggs, cheese, bacon, aioli. And potatoes. + Service + Plants v- for a wamer atmosphere + Lighting - 2700K + Music - soft + Flatware - La Tavola. hefty + Cloth napkins $73.45 CAD for breakfast for 2, inc tax and tip read more

Always an easy option for a meal option. The food is always fresh and slightly elevated than your average menu. The ambience casual with great staff who are attentive but also able to read the room and allow you time and space to catch up with friends or just sit in peace and quiet. I do prefer their dinner menu as I love their hummus and Brussels sprouts, but their brunch is also delicious. read more

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. read more

1 Kitchen offers a solid experience with decent food options. The dishes are flavorful, though they could be a little more adventurous in terms of spice and presentation. The service was satisfactory, but it wasn't particularly memorable. The ambiance is cozy, but nothing extraordinary. It's a good place to grab a quick meal, but I wouldn't go out of my way for a special experience. read more

Stopped here for a weekday breakfast and while the ambience and service were both great, I found the food to be a little bit disappointing. The waffle was a little dense and really lacking in flavor, which for the price was really too bad. But their drop coffee was great. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Cute brunch restaurant with yummy health food! Came without a reservation and we were still seated promptly. The decor is so lovely, plenty of pretty plants and green accents everywhere. The service was great too! All the servers are attentive & polite. Got the Greenest Goddess salad and it was really fresh and delicious. You can't go wrong with adding some protein on top because their chicken is bomb. We also ordered their Brunch Chicken Sandwich and it was SO good - the chicken was crispy, juicy, and seasoned to perfection. The only downside to this place is it's expensive for the amount of food you get - it would be nice if portions were more generous (esp since it's primarily veggies). Otherwise, it's a cute place with chill vibes. read more

Came here with a big group on a Sunday morning to celebrate my cousins birthday! This was my first time coming here and I thought the place was very aesthetic. The place was bright, full of plants, clean and very spacious. We had a set menu which consists these items: St. Brigid's Butter with Honey Red Caesar Avocado Tartine French Toast The 6ix Famers Market Fruit Bowl We also had The 1k Mimosa Experience (orange or grapefruit) I also got on the side the Chai latte with oat milk and the espresso martini (From the Grounds Up). The food was overall very simple and delicious, the Avocado Tartine was definitely the star out of all the dishes, totally recommend getting that. The chai latte was watered down by all the ice in it so I don't think its worth it, but the espresso martini was very delicious, a perfect balance of espresso and alcohol. Overall this place is a very nice place to have brunch with the girlies, it is definitely on the pricey side with everything being about $20/30 per dish or drink. *Side note* When I was eating the fruits from the fruit bowl, there was a piece of plastic which cut my gums. They did apologize to me and comp my espresso martini, mistakes do happen but no one likes to find random stuff in their food that can potentially harm them. read more

We stopped by here because my friend highly recommended their espresso martinis. We went there on a Saturday morning so we got a table right away. Their space is so pretty and earthy, it has a lot of sunlight and a great ambiance overall. The service was pretty quick and friendly, our server sensed that I was meeting my friend after awhile and asked if we would like a photo together. It was very sweet of her! I wish we had more time to try their food because it looked soo good, but I'll be back again!! read more

The restaurant is beautifully decorated throughout and the ambiance is very welcoming as well as warm. It looks like the Dinner menu had just changed because the waitresses did not know the menu very well. Food took over 30min to come and the waitress claimed the chef is working around this new menu which I didn't find an acceptable answer. Once the food came, we really enjoyed the steak skirt dinner. The Steak Skirt came with a Carrot Puree, Vermouth Tarragon Jus, White Beans Salad On Roasted Leek. Although it was a very small plate...we would definitely come back for the Steak skirt. The Pumpkin Seed Dip was very bitter and was not my kind of dip but I'm sure others will enjoy it. It was beautifully presented. Must: order Truffle fries on the side. It's not on the menu but ask the waitress. read more

Maybe it was the beautiful, lush surroundings positively dripping with greenery, or the fantastic waitstaff (literally everyone was my favourite!) or the delicious food, but we quickly became regulars! From the fantastic egg dishes to the delicious green juice, coffee & fresh salads, absolutely loved everything I had here. Highly recommend! read more

This charming little restaurant on the ground floor of the 1 Hotel in Toronto has great service, ambience, and food. While I wouldn't consider it an eatery to travel out of your way for, especially in a great food city like Toronto, I wasn't mad about popping downstairs for a bite while I stayed at this beautiful hotel. When I first arrived in Toronto I was famished and joined my group for a late lunch here. We had great cocktails and I enjoyed a grain bowl with seared shrimp. On another day I had a coffee and avocado toast before heading out for a day out on the town. The hanging plants and friendly service complete this place, which was never too crowded during the few days I stayed here. read more

I came here for brunch with two girlfriends - it was as busy as one would expect for a Saturday at 11AM. We were seated at one of the booths by the windows. Loved the ambience here with all the beautiful greenery. I ordered the Sweet Potato Waffle - though I usually prefer savoury brunch items, I really liked that this dish wasn't too sweet or heavy. I paired my meal with a hazelnut latte. I also had a taste of my friend's yuzu hollandaise sauce, and that was quite unique. A nice zesty addition to a typical benedict. Our servers were nice and attentive despite the steady stream of customers. 1 Kitchen is an aesthetic choice for brunch downtown with a solid menu, so definitely consider giving it a try! read more

Love the ambience of this restaurant! Our server was friendly and polite. We were here for breakfast. Navigating the online menu was a bit of challenge - not very user friendly. I'm sure I'm not the first customer to comment on this. I was expecting more options on the breakfast menu. Nonetheless, my husband and I were satisfied with our meals. I had the 6s and my husband had the breakfast sandwich which was super filling. Also, nice spot for a date. Great selection of cocktails. Recommended place to try! read more

Location: just south of king street, not too far from the streetcar if you get off at Bathurst Food: great food! I got a the 6ix eggs, it was a great mix of eggs, bacon, potato and sourdough.

This restaurant is connected to the 1 hotel Toronto serving southern Ontario cuisine. They provide all meals of the day - breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner - as well as a happy hour. We stopped by to try their brunch and didn't find it too busy or hard to get a table. 1. Local Charcuterie Board Great for sharing. This board came with local meats and cheese selections paired with honey and jam spreads. We enjoyed the poached apples and berries as we found the board super cute. 2. Crispy Chicken Sandwich This chicken sandwich was coated in a sweet chili glaze paired with a spicy aioli and pickles. The options for sides consisted of either home fries or a house salad - we tried one of each. 3. Avocado Tartine 1 Kitchen's take on an avocado toast. We found this dish pretty and appreciated all the little components. The toast was topped off with a tomato jam, roasted garlic aioli and some sesame seeds. We also added a side egg which is an additional charge. 4. The 6ix A traditional breakfast consisting of two eggs any style, bacon or turkey sausage and home fries. We found the home fries crispy and seasoned. We always save room for dessert and so tried their home made chocolate cake. This flourless chocolate torte was topped off with a chocolatey hazelnut ganache and paired with a vanilla ice cream. We enjoyed the chocolate cake itself, but didn't like the bits of hazelnuts with the ice cream. Overall, we would recommend this spot for a brunch date in Toronto. The interior is cute and earthy, and the food was decent. read more

Was looking for nice place to celebrate my wife's birthday. Like who doesn't love a good breakfast right? Settled on this place, and let me tell you it was phenomenal. The food was so fresh and locally sourced. I got the chicken and waffles while my wife got the egg omelette and salad. We also got the French toast made with challa bread. All dishes were exceptional. Our server was great and accommodating. We arrived 2 mins after breakfast service had closed, the host told us breakfast was not available, but the server made it possible. Well done! Located inside the 1 Hotel, this place is like eating in a forest. The greenery, the wood accents, the overall vibe was so refreshing. Make sure to checkout the lobby of the hotel read more

Cute spot. Nice bartender. Attentive. BUT the food is so overpriced. I paid $33 for a SMALL salad. They just drop the chicken on a side plate and don't offer to toss the salad. The salad was so lightly dressed too. So it left my mouth pretty dry. They barely give you any pear or goat cheese in the poached pear salad. Wouldn't come back. Too bad cuz it's a cute spot read more

Bright and welcoming spot with hanging plants and excellent food and drinks. I was promptly seated on Friday morning the other week and had their lunch menu. Check their website for which menu they will be serving at the time you're visiting. There was about 25% capacity when I was there. The server was reluctant to change our seating to the side, where there was more comfortable seating despite asking. We request this before settling down, no bueno. By the time we left the restaurant, there was still ample empty seating on the side tables. Oh well. Food-wise, we love the cod and chips. The chef cooked the fish to perfection. The chopped salad was great too, though the dressing was lighter and hard to detect. That means it's healthier too. Mocktails were tasty, feel like it's better-for-you and not loaded in sugar. We had the Lychee  Rose Elixir and Immune. The only feedback is to include a straw or stir stick for the Immune drink as the turmeric settles to the bottom. We ordered our dessert. If you mentioned any special occasion on booking, which it was for us, don't expect anything special to be done. However, the server was friendly and I will be back to try their brunch menu next. Their sweet potato waffles on their brunch menu sound amazing. read more

Girls' reunion. Our orders: banana fritters, sweet potato waffle + buttermilk fried chicken, mimosas orange and grapefruit, and lattes. Food, service and ambiance were all perfect. The pickled peppers on my fried chicken added flare to the sweet potato waffle. Since the waffle was made from starch that came from a root vegetable, it was lighter tasting compared to starch that came from wheat. We were talking and talking, and the fried chicken held up despite turning cold - still juicy and crispy. I'm on a grapefruit kick lately and the mimosa had a strong grapefruit taste, didn't leave a sticky sweet aftertaste in my mouth with each sip. The lattes were on the bitter side. Awesome service, checked in frequently without being annoying. Server took great group pictures and provided directions on where to stand for background and lighting so pictures are ready for direct export to Instagram (she knows LOL). Easy walk from financial district via King West, street and off street parking both available but kind of difficult to access. read more
