    Corner of 1 Kitchen and 1Hotel meetup. 550 Wellington West.

    We love our 1 Kitchen! - Social proof achieved! All the 1 Kitchen staff and all their great daily efforts bring the very good feeling to everyone. After the FIFA soccer playoffs, becoming a civilized neighbourhood hang.

    Avocado tartine

    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.

    A place to enjoy your lattes

    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.

    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.

    Iced Biscoff Espresso

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    For a very, very long time, I'd been reading about how Library Bar is one of the best cocktail bars…read morein the city. So it goes without saying that my expectations were extremely high for the place. We arrived just before our reservation time and were quickly shown to a comfy table near the entrance. It was a good spot for taking in the admittedly impressive ambiance. Obviously we both had to order the Birdbath Martini ("Quill Gin, House Vermouth Blend, House Orange Bitters, Lemon Oil, Olives and Pickled Onions"). And yeah, it's incredible. The tableside preparation was certainly an impressive sight, and the taste of the drink was superb. Definitely one of the best martinis in the city. For my main, I went with the Bay Street ("shaved prime rib, tobacco onion, horseradish aioli, grilled baguette, frites") and after an unusually long wait, the plate arrived to the table. I can't say I was super impressed. The meat is tender and flavorful, yes, but the bread is so plentiful and so crusty that it pretty much negated the sandwich's positive attributes. I ultimately wound up leaving most of the bread and eating the scant prime rib. The fries were quite tasty, at least. Far more problematic was the service. Our waiter was absent for much of our meal. Our water glasses were empty for most of our time in the restaurant, and he never showed up to ask us if we wanted another drink, which we certainly did. We each probably would've ordered a couple more cocktails had the guy not vanished. So yeah, the martini was indeed excellent. Everything else? Not so much.

I will say that it's a hip, nicely equipped restaurant. We decided to do an appie meal. We ordered Sichuan Chicken lettuce wraps ($25.50)..this was the best of the appies. The next was the Crab Dip ($20.75), it was hot but not overly tasty. 3rd was the Hot Chicken Bites with pickles ($16.00). They were ok but not hot in temp enough. The final was the Chili Citrus Calamari ($21.25). This was the worse of the dishes. Simply put, it was cold. The server removed this from our bill. In summary...I wouldn't go out of my way again to go here but given all things being equal, the servers were very good. As a final note...the bathroom was very clean & well maintained.

We were treated so incredibly well by all the staff. Dawn was our server and she was so lovely! We really felt taken care of. I've never had a restaurant server look at the type of pant I was wearing and change my table napkin to a black one to match my dark pants. Nor do I remember a restaurant heating up the mug a cappuccino comes in to ensure it stays nice and warm. As for food, we were allowed to have some partake in Summerlicious and some not. I had the Summerlicious menu and picked the Wagyu Tartare, Surf and Turf, and Buttercake. Great portions, delicious food. My favourite was the Buttercake. We also had happy hour drinks, oysters, a prime rib, and caesar salad. If I were to recommend something, get the $78 prime rib which is 14 oz, perfectly seasoned, and comes with glazed carrots and the most amazing mashed potatoes I've ever had.

Our group of 5 started with fresh sushi and sashimi, table side Caesar salad and the softest brioche served with sun-dried tomato butter that was perfect in every way. Main course: Australian wagyu ribeye that we didn't even have to chew plus a strip loin and beef Wellington (which was maybe the only thing I don't need to order again, but still delicious). All the sides were amazing and finally sticky toffee pudding and butter cake to put us in a complete food coma. Wouldn't change a thing about this meal. We cannot thank you enough Tyler (and Toronto!!)!

Located on the 31st floor of the St. Regis Hotel, the restaurant has an incredible atmosphere. The dining room is absolutely stunning with a classy and luxurious feel, but it still feels comfortable and inviting rather than too formal. We started the evening with cocktails before moving into the Summerlicious menu. I ordered the "I Only Drink When I Smoke," which was a great way to start the night. It had a subtle smoky flavour with a touch of sweetness, and the alcohol was not overpowering at all. It was smooth, easy to sip on, and the perfect drink to enjoy while having conversations. For my Summerlicious menu, I started with the Tartare de Boeuf and Caviar. The filet mignon tartare was fresh and really smooth, with a nice balance of rich and savoury flavours. The toasted bread also gave it a nice crunch and paired really well with the tartare. For the main course, I had the Roasted Chateaubriand Filet. When the plate was served, the meat looked really rare as I saw nothing but red on the meat, but it was incredibly tender, making it easy to cut through. It was full of flavour, and the sauce complemented the steak without being too heavy or salty. The vegetables added a nice balance to the dish, and the creamy mashed potatoes were smooth, and definitely one of my favourite parts of the meal. To finish, I had the Mango Passionfruit Cheesecake. It was creamy without feeling too heavy. Though the fruity flavours from the mango passionfruit were a bit tart and sweet for my palate, it still gave an overall refreshing touch. The crust added a nice texture, and it was the perfect ending to the meal. Beyond the food, what really stood out was the service and pacing of the evening. Each course arrived at the right time, allowing us to enjoy every dish without feeling rushed. The price point is definitely on the higher end, so it is not somewhere I would personally visit for a casual dinner on a regular basis. However, for a special occasion, celebration, or a night where you want to enjoy a beautiful dining experience, I think Louix Louis would be a great choice... and for $75/ person for Summerlicious/ Winterlicious, definitely a great value to sample the chefs' artistry. Overall, it was a memorable evening with an elegant atmosphere, thoughtfully prepared dishes, and great service. I can definitely understand why this spot has become such a popular destination, and I would love to come back again for Winterlicious!
