    The food was an absolute delight, rich in flavor and the perfect dessert. Would recommend having it in the evening as the sugar crash is definitely real. I had the maple beaver tail with vanilla ice cream, which I highly recommend, however there are a plethora of options and combos you can do. The service and ambiance were also great!

    Avalanche Beavertail

    The avalanche beavertail (marshmallow fluff, skor, chocolate) hit the spot. The poutine was fairly average leaning on the saltier side. A cool location to sit and enjoy a snack! We could see the water taxis coming and going frequently.

    My goodness these beaver tails were out of sight!! The plain cinnamon and sugar beaver tail was my favorite. If you're near... be sure to grab one. You won't be disappointed!

    Mehple and BrWownie
    Peter H.

    Apart from the glorious poutine, this was the other Canadian food to try according to my quick non-scientific research. The smells walking into the place were intoxicating and had me salivating. Groups of families and tourists made up most of the guests. I ordered the MehPle, and my friend went with the BrWownie. The wait was about 10 minutes. The cabin-like interior and its open air design helped us cool down with the ocean breeze coming in. The MehPle was incredibly crispy, sweet, and gooey, a hot and oily pastry, and a familiar kind of snack like those found at a county fair. My friend said the BrWownie was also very good with crumbs stuck on her cheeks. All in all, worth a taste. Before we left, I rang a singular sound off their bell.

    We knew we needed to try a beaver tail while visiting Toronto and were happy to find this location right on the waterfront and without a long line. Three of us shared two which was perfect for a snack. We had the Hazel Amour and Strawberry Cheesecake both of which were delicious! For those like us who haven't had these before, they are like a big flat donut that is a little crispy. It is not, as I had thought, like the US Midwestern elephant ear. At the risk of betraying my region, beaver tails are better! Seating at this location is outside on the waterfront which is lovely.

    Tried the maple flavored BeaverTail in Toronto. The pastry was warm and fresh, but it had way too much topping, making it overly sweet. The flavor reminded me of a flatbread churro. The spot feels super touristy, and it would be nice if they offered a vegan-friendly option so more people could enjoy it.

    Bananarama beavertail

    Such an iconic place conveniently located near the harborfront. It's obviously a must try when visiting Toronto but the taste was fairly unimpressive. For a fried treat, I was expecting the dough to be much crispier but it ended up being a bit limp. We got the Bananarama flavor (banana with hazelnut spread) and found it a bit too sweet. If you have Asian taste buds like us, would definitely recommend getting the Classic for a slightly less sweet option.

    Ordering a beaver tail was super quick and easy. With this location being near the water, grabbing one and munching on it by the harbor was super nice. The classic was thin and crispy. Some parts were too thin that it was like a crispy chip. I thought it would be more like a soft pretzel texture... It's an in-between texture between crispiness and medium, thick dough. I guess I expected more out of this for some reason hearing the hubs mention it so much. But then again it's just cinnamon and sugar. It's a gigantic cinnamon twist but in the shape of a beaver's tail. It's still a pretty tasty snack unique to Canada. Give it a try if you haven't had it before.

    BeaverTails is a Canadian pastry shop in Toronto (that also serves poutine). This location is right by the waterfront with great views. Their pies remind me of the funnel cake/ elephant ear fried dough with delicious toppings like apple pie! It is messy ! I was not a big fan of the lemonade slushy, but would definitely recommend you try the pastries. Staff was incredibly friendly and the food came out quickly and was fresh. #canada #pastry #sweets

    Service was fast and friendly. Went for some poutine before the Leafs game on a chilly afternoon. The inside was small but charming and it was out of the wind. The poutine was tasty and the cheese melted with the hot gravy. I got full and warm. My previous experience with poutine was in the US and it was so salty I could feel my fingers swelling up. The poutine at BeaverTails was not a sodium filler at all. I'll be back for the pastries, they looked amazing!

    I don't care if BeaverTails is a tourist spot because I love the Killaloe Sunrise and get it every time I'm in Canada and nearby a BeaverTails store. Killaloe Sunrise is a fried flat dough pastry dusted with cinnamon sugar and a lemon wedge for you to squeeze the juice onto the treat. Essentially it's a big, flat churro. The lemon juice sounds weird, but trust me it works and that's how I eat my churros now. Highly recommended.

    This morning I attended a Holiday Cheer Event at Beavertails; I was at this location's Grand Opening day in March 2016 when they offered free boat tours of the Inner Harbour (see 2nd pic. below). For the Event there was a choice between 2 comp. Beavertails (The Classic, Hazel Amour) as well as hot chocolate - also comp. - on offer. I chose the latter Beavertail choice and was very pleased; it was warm and fairly crunchy with great flavour. The venue is fairly small with limited seating: one table at the front and a few more in the back; their 2nd floor is not available to Customers. Service was very prompt and friendly and the venue appeared immaculately clean throughout. I thank Beavertails for the generous opportunity to partake in their products during the Holidays.

    A must try when you're in Canada! Get a whole BeaverTail yourself. Don't bother sharing like my family did.

The I Heart Butter Tart Concrete ($6.49) that I ordered was a little too much for myself. I did decide to go through and finish the ice cream / sundae just so I don't have anything to go. The interior of the place was properly though out and well designed. Self order stations are available to order from and the ordering interface is one of the better systems I have seen. When I dined in early afternoon on a weekday it was a rather slow day. There were a couple of Shake Shack employees constantly roaming about the premises ready to attend to any customer request. 1 such employee was thoughtful enough to serve me and a group of other customers some water. I have mixed feelings about the bathroom setup. Yes, it is clean and there were a few toilet rooms available, but it requires a code to be entered prior to using. The door screen shows as vacant but an employee still needs to give out the 4 digit code needed to access the toilets. I also found some issues with the water faucet sensors. It is inconsistently picking up my gestures resulting in an unreliable and unsteady flow of running water when I was washing my hands.

I couldn't let the opportunity pass. The dining space? Bright, clean, inviting. Modern but casual. Off to a genuinely good start. And then... things went south. I ordered the peri-peri chicken with two sides. The wait was excruciating. Not just long--confusing. Every single person who ordered after me was eating while I sat there wondering if my ticket got lost in another country. When the chicken finally arrived, I was stunned--and not in a good way. Easily the smallest leg/thigh combo I've ever seen. Yes, I'm used to USA-sized, GMO-filled chickens, but I've eaten plenty overseas. This wasn't "European portioning." This was kiddie-sized. Flavor? Underwhelming. Forgettable. Nothing that made me pause, nothing that lingered. For a place built on peri-peri heat and personality, this was shockingly flat. I can get chicken with more punch at my local Grocery & Go. The mac and cheese had decent texture--the breadcrumbs did their job--but flavor-wise? Completely bland. Zero soul. The fries? Although well seasoned, we're like warm. Overhyped things rarely deliver, and Nando's sadly fits the bill. Massive disappointment is the phrase that keeps coming to mind

    Hard to find a place these days that checks all the boxes -- healthy, affordable, and good service…read more-- but this Nando's pulls it off. The food is solid (grilled chicken, not greasy junk), the prices are surprisingly fair for downtown, and the staff actually seem like they care.

This location is a full restaurant with plenty of indoor seating. There is easy-listening music playing in the background. I ordered the following: 1. Signature Poutine with Beef ($9.99). 2. Plum Cold Brew ($3.99). I've never had the Poutine before. It was good. I've had the Plum Cold Brew before and it was like I remembered. This restaurant chain introduced the "Chinese Hamburger" in a crispy bun to Toronto back in 2021-05-23 (soft opening). Very tasty indeed! Plus, they have a wide variety of appetizers. The two owners are from China. The brand was founded in Beijing on 2014-04-08 and now has over 65 locations in Beijing. The Chinese Hamburger is called Rou Jia Mo (肉夹馍) in Chinese, which literally translates to "meat in a bun". It is the cuisine of China's Shaanxi province, which has the capital city of Xi'An (or Xian), where you find the terracotta warriors. For Chinese hamburgers, there are two types of buns: crispy and non-crispy. Most restaurants use the non-crispy buns but Bingz is the only restaurant in the GTA that uses the baked crispy buns. There is free WiFi. The restaurant wheelchair accessible. There is one gender-neutral washrooms, which is also wheelchair accessible. There is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2025-244
