Cute secret garden patio with a roof. Nicely shaded during mid day.
Charles Y.

We came here just for the $7 happy hour (Tuesday to Friday. 3p to 6p) and was blown away by the quality of the food! You can't get a better deal than this in Yorkville. We loved the hummus and falafel the most. The hummus was well balanced and came with a good amount of pitas and mixed veggies! The kiwi chili margarita was refreshing and very well balanced. Definitely a must when you're in Yorkville.

Bar Reyna is a nice casual dining establishment with limited downstairs seating and a spacious upstairs area. We were seated by the door where the seats were a little wonky, looks like one chair leg was taller than the other. The music is also on the louder side. We came in time for happy hour and the hummus was mediocre. The Kiwi Margarita was good but it was too much on the spicy side. The Reyna salad was good! The calamari was good as well but had very small portions. Don't recommend coming if you're here for dinner but okay for drinks.

Tried this spot with my friends a while back. The food was good, portions were small but delicious. We had a reservation but had to wait really long to be seated which we didn't love, but we got dessert on the house to make up for it. This place is definitely more of a date night vibe than it is a girls night place. Keep that in mind when making a reso! Def worth trying

LEBANESE "TACOS" with falafel
Mike T.

We arrived around 2:30 in the afternoon, we were greeted immediately by the hostess and we asked for a table for two. The hostess went to her seating chart, poured over it, excused herself and went to the back. She came back a few minutes later, looked at her seating chart again, the proceed to seat us on the back patio. I found the whole situation odd, the front bar section was empty, the back patio had 2 tables of two, the rest of the patio was empty tables. Once seated we ordered the falafel tacos and Spanish fries. The tacos were grilled flat bread with falafel balls, Fresno chilies, picked red onions, a great sauce topped with a crispy element. The falafel balls were really good, nice crunch and great flavor. The fries were super thin crispy strings, topped with chorizo and cheese. Served with chipotle aioli. The fries were seasoned well, had a nice crunch and the sauce added a touch of heat. They were really good. Three o clock rolls around and they pass out a happy hour menu. I was hoping to try a margarita on the happy hour menu but the server was no where to be found. Once she appeared again we just asked for the check and left. Great food, meh service

Always a great night. Servers are lovely and the music is on point! Got two different cocktails. They were beautiful but not really my jam. The fires are always a winner! Mmm these were the Italian ones. The ceviche was nice and I really liked the cauliflower bravas. But hands-down if you go here what you must get is the lamb baklava. It is out of this world! It sounds really strange but the saltiness of the lamb meat with the spices and then the crispy pastry and then the slightly sweet sauce that's on top is unreal. For dessert we tried the ricotta fritters with an orange blossom sauce. They were nice but really sweet so I don't think I'll fantasize about them later. Also prepare your soul the ceiling is so beautiful!!

First visit to Bar Reyna back in October 2019 was superb. I've always wanted to revisit and here we are in August 2021 and my second visit wasn't the same. The dishes were underwhelming this time around and didn't really wow us. Grilled prawns were probably the highlight of the night (and I specifically visited for the lamb baklava and Lebanese tacos). 5 stars for the amazing service. 5 stars for the cute ambiance. I'll probably revisit Bar Reyna just for the drinks (or maybe try their brunch menu next time).

Intimate is how I'd describe this place - I would not come here if I was starving but it was a good place for small sharing plates. The best bang for your buck would be the dips and the fries. We came in a group of 4 but everyone around us was on a date. We were seated a bit later than our reso so we got dessert on the house, super kind and friendly servers. The hummus, halloumi skewers, spanish fries, and labneh were delicious and everyone enjoyed.

Food: 4/5 Atmosphere: 4/5 Service: 4/5 I went there for my friend's birthday. This is place cute and cozy. Food was great and delicious yet it was bit slow. Great place for a date or small intimate gathering with friends. Recommended. I would love to try this place again when the patio is opened.

Spanish fries, chicken tacos + 1 (leftover) falafel
Kseniya V.

This place was lovely! It is located in one of the best neighborhoods in town and has such a lovely ambiance! The menu was quite large and diverse considering it is a tapas style menu. The cauliflower croquettes were lovely, as well as the Lebanese tacos. We also got falafel and Spanish fries which were full of flavour! The one word that comes to mind when describing the menu is: unique I am definitely looking forward to returning here again in the summertime when the patio opens up

Falafel bites and prawns
Christina Y.

Went here knowing that the portion sizes would be small and more like tapas style. Some dishes were bigger than expected and others were extremely small like the one lamb shank for $10 and it turned out to be only 4 bites. I'd say don't go here unless you're looking to grab small bites and drinks with friends. The quality of the food was superb and there was not one dish we didn't like. Service was quick too and attentive.

Lily Z.

This place is probably good for a drink, but definitely not if you are mainly looking to get food. I found that the staff were pretty rude and we had to call them over several times just to order. Additionally, the food was very basic with small portion sizes, and wildly overpriced. The bill ended up being around $35 per person and I left just as hungry as when I came in (after splitting 5 dishes). Again, the vibe was good for drinks and chatting, but definitely would not go here for the dining experience.

Lebanese tacos
Sarah S.

Really like the hidden patio out in the back - it's a really nice feature and I like its intimate and cozy vibes. There are so many lounges that are really hyped up but fall short on their food. However, Bar Reyna's food and drinks are actually pretty good. My favourite by far was the lamb baklava. Very creative, very tasty. Wish the portions were bigger though, especially since it was $10 for two pieces of lamb baklava. We also got the calamari and Lebanese tacos. Both were also really good. Prices were on the higher side unfortunately. For dessert we got kaffir lime and saffron baklava. Very pretty and decadent dessert, although my stomach felt weird after eating it. Drinks were really well done. They weren't watered down like so many cocktails out there. My favourite is the P.S. I Love Me.

Lamb shank benedict
Akriti A.

Probably one of the cutest patios in Toronto. Bar Reyna is tucked away in Yorkville and has a beautifully decorated patio with lanterns and plants all around, resulting in a warm and cozy environment. A great place for a date! I went here for brunch the other day and shared a couple of dishes - Lamb shank Benny : an interesting twist on a benedict, and honestly not what we were expecting when we ordered it. There is a portion of lamb shank served on a fried chip on a bed of Cauliflower rice. Quite a lovely taste and the lamb didn't taste gamey at all, which was a pleasant surprise. Portion was quite small, however. - Baklava French toast : would highly recommend this dish! Not overly sweet (which is a nice change from 'traditional' brunch dishes). It is served with a lovely orange blossom sauce and vanilla ricotta. Not to be missed! Would also recommend making a reservation as it does get busy during brunch hours on the weekend

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. Both of us work in the area and will absolutely be spreading the word with our teams. I left feeling like a very lucky lady after such a memorable birthday celebration. We can't wait to return!

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.
