    An Asian fusion snack bar with tapas style plates for sharing. Came here with some friends and started off with a round of shots. Their shots come in cute Chinese tea cups with chase of cilantro mint juice. Not my favourite type of chase but it was an interesting one. The place is small and best for small groups rather than larger groups. The snacks were great to munch on before dinner. Here's what we got: Chicken wings 5/5 - Loved this. It was crispy and juicy on the inside. Served with a wedge of lemon and an aioli dipping sauce. Would get this dish again. Korean fried chicken 5/5 - This was delicious with the gochujang sauce tossed on the fried chicken. Great for sharing without getting your fingers dirty. Steak tartare 3/5 - I thought this was okay and not the best I've had. Probably can skip on this dish. Foie gras torchon 4/5 - This was a great sharable bite. The foie gras comes with a crusted sweet top and blueberry compote on the side. Spicy tuna hand roll 3.5/5 - This took quite a while to come out for some reason and we had to ask for it a couple of times. It was okay as an order, can probably skip on this. Overall it's a great place to go for small bites. Service is friendly. Would come back!

    416 Snack Bar has such a fun vibe. I went with a friend for a walk in on the weekend for dinner. We ordered a few small bites and a diet coke each. Would definitely go again!

    Came here with friends for some afternoon snacks, not really to drink, and the server seemed a bit annoyed by that. The food was hit or miss, and very tiny portions for a high price. The Reuben sandwich was probably the best tasting thing I had. The Korean fried chicken and general TSO-fu was ok. The Bao and eggplant sandwich were ok too according to my friends. There wasn't really anything to justify the price... The kitchen was not connected to the dining/bar area so the server had to carry them from outside which was a bit strange to me. Note that this is a small bar and is best to only go with a smaller group, and if you plan to drink AND if you've eaten already or plan to eat a meal elsewhere

    Tofu and chicken

    My new go-to spot when I'm not HUNGRY but still down to grab a bite and a drink with it. Vibes here are really chill and food is even better. We sat at the bar and grabbed the tofu, chicken, and beef tartare. Tofu and chicken portions are great for sharing between multiple people. All so delicious and the perfect way to end the night. Saw a couple dates and realized it is a perfect intimate date spot, so it's now on my list. Servers are really nice and friendly. Loved the option to sit on the ledge of the restaurant and people watch too!

    This restaurant was such a vibe! Loved how it's all tapa style we had fun ordering plates and got their special slider Big Mac. Sooo yummy!! This is a great place to come and have some late night snacks! It's all shared style seating

    Bo la lot

    The hype is real about this snack bar! I've seen this place blow up a few years ago and I've passed by it many times. It's on the corner of Bathurst and Queen, looks like nothing special on the outside but once you open the door, this place is buzzing with full tables, loud music & the vibe is on point. It's a fairly tiny place with a few tables around and seats at the bar. I came here on a Friday night around 7pm and was lucky to get a table at the bar. The reviewers were right where the majority of the tables ordered drinks. The snack menu was one page with about 15 items ranging from $4-$18 in price. The portions are tapas style with Asian fusion dishes. The bar selection ranged from traditional cocktails which weren't on the menu to beers on tap and bottles of wine & liquor. We ordered the Korean fried chicken, bo la lot (my favorite Viet dish that normally isn't on pho restaurant menus - this is seasoned beef wrapped in a betel leaf) and Octos Brava. All the dishes came in very stylish dishes, seasoned very well and your first bite was bursting with flavors. They allow you to split bills and you can by cash or any type of credit card.

    Jungle bird

    A special nondescript spot with great small bites and a wide selection of drinks. As the name implies there's only small plates here but they are very reasonably priced ($5-$8), and if you combine several of them you'll end up with a pretty filling meal. There's no utensils so be warned that certain dishes can get a bit messy. The food is fun because it spans many different cuisines - i had general tso tofu, eggplant parmesan sandwich, trinidadian doubles and an indian style aloo (potato) chaat. Excellent vegetarian selections. There's one dessert item currently and that's a custom chocolate bar they make called the snackers. There's tons of drink options - I stuck to the cocktails, for which they have no menu. Instead you can ask the staff for what type of drink you're craving and they'll make something that matches your description. The manager gave us a couple of great drinks - a jungle bird and a modified daiquiri - both were delicious! A big part that added to the experience was how friendly the staff, especially the manager (who is waiting tables and taking orders too) is. His drink recommendations were great and he took time to explain all ingredients in the cocktails and even the proportions. A final note on how great the vibe and ambiance is. It's a great date spot with dim lighting, and a candle on each table. The music fit perfectly (anderson paak mostly, some kendrick) with the overall vibe of the place. Note that the place is pretty small and most tables are for 2.

    Steak tartare
    Jenny O.

    Our late arrival in Toronto meant we had a late night dinner although that's not so bad when your body thinks it's 3 hours earlier haha. We tried 416 Snack Bar, and I would highly recommend it! Enjoyed everything we ate. Food is meant to be eaten with your hands. I loved the eggplant sangwich doubledown so much. They coat the eggplant in quinoa (which gave it a great crunch) and use it in place of bread. It's basically an eggplant Parmesan sandwich, so creative. Also really loved the jerk whole fish where we could make lettuce wraps with the ingredients. The jerk had a strong flavor without being overpowering and the fish was perfectly prepared. Steak tartare and general tso fu (crunchy tofu in General Tso's sauce) were also tasty. There was a good selection of beers on draft. We tried 2 sours and a fruity gose. Sat at the bar and was impressed by how efficient the bartender was and how he stayed on top of everything despite being incredibly busy.

    My partner and I had a wonderful time at the Snack Bar on our first night in Toronto. Our bartender Justin was great and our food was lovely as well. We had oysters, froie gras, and Korean style wings. Everything was delicious! Would definitely recommend.

    Delicious time at 416! I tried the paper plane drink and my partner got the negroni. Best cocktails in Toronto! We always get the tofu dish which is sooo tasty. (Did they reduce the number of pieces though? I think it's like $6 now for 6 cubes which is pretty expensive). Still a good vibe!

    Cobb Salad
    Sami H.

    I've always walked passed this place and wondered why they were so busy even on weeknights. Now I know! This very unassuming snack bar just off the corner of Queen and Bathurst is one of the most happening places on a Monday night. It was very intimate with lit candles dotting each table and bar. Perfect for a date night, and there were many dates that night. One of the main philosophies of this bar is that they do not serve anything with utensils. Every dish you order is meant to be eaten with your hands or essentially a toothpick. My personal favorite was the cobb salad, the alu gobi and the korean fried chicken. I wish I had taken a picture of the alu gobi, because that is a traditional dish from my part of the cultural sphere, and I was amazed at how they transformed a curry dish into a bite sized small appetizer. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for light meals and quick drinks. They have an extensive wine and cocktail list that can be paired with anything on their menu.

    After hearing about this Toronto classic for years...I finally found myself in the area and checked it out. The vibe was lively and it's definitely a social atmosphere with many groups and smaller parties. I tried the Korean fried chicken and a beer. The fried chicken was well marinated and cooked perfectly! Would return here

We started with the Brussels sprouts which is always a great choice from here. Crispy on the outside and not an overwhelming Brussels sprout taste. This is likely because there is a generous sprinkling of grated parm and a great amount of dip. We tried the crispy tuna sushi. The tuna was beautifully marinated, so flavourful. And the sushi was nice and crispy. The vodka pie was a seasonal item and when we saw it listed, we knew we needed to try it. The sauce- amazing, the press was nice and flaky and light and really tasty. And the soccer Sada added nice saltines and flavour without being too overwhelming. For happy hour, the apps and pizzas were $5 off, and the ranch water was $5. I'd come back for the pizza alone! Jeans was our waitress and she was great!

You aren't just sipping a martini; you're drinking a liquid homage to Toronto's history.

The drinks and the food were very average, not too strong at all when it came to the drinks, and the food wasn't out of this world but good. The presentation for both the food and the drinks was pretty nice. Location: The location was directly within the entrance of the hotel, which made it very convenient for us to grab something to eat, especially the first night since we got here a little late. You can lounge in this location, and some people are dressed up, but some people are casual who are also within this hotel. I'm not sure about parking on the regular since we did parking through the hotel as well. Service: The biggest reason as to why I gave it a three-star is because one of the bartenders was very unfriendly, and to be honest, it could have been because it was nighttime, but it really threw us off because you hear how nice Canadians are, and to be honest, the majority of the places that we went to afterward were exactly what people say and how nice they were except for this location. One of the bartenders was a guy, and he was just very straightforward, did not smile at us, and honestly, when I asked certain questions about the menu, he responded with comments as if I should know what the menu means. I just didn't like his attitude at all, and it really threw me off, but because we had a voucher through the hotel, it's the only reason why we gave it a go for the first night and didn't end up going back the remainder of the time that we were there.

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.
