    Went with work group. Although the website/ voice message said no reservation for lunch, the manager told us that they take reservations. The menu has many vegetarian options. The place is spacious. Portion is generous and taste good. I had their signature shakshuka with salad challah bread. The bread is very fresh and tasty. Please note they put compulsory 18% gratuity for big groups, but the service was attentive. Will come back for work team lunch.

    Like it's other locations, Cafe Landwer delivers good presentations! The dishes were fresh and delicious, also very nice on picture, service was alright, we didn't make reservations for a Monday Lunchtime, one of the servers told us to sign up for wait list, while another one took us right in as soon as he saw us LOL... But cute interior good lightings and brunch ambiance.

    We came here on a whim around lunch time. It was a pretty large establishment when we walked inside, and it was packed. There was a tablet by the door so we just put our names on the wait list. We waited for a couple minutes before we got seated, so wait time wasn't too bad. I really liked the ambiance and design inside. Originally I wanted to get a tiramisu, but the waiter told me that they were already sold out. It was around 11:30 in the morning and they were already out of tiramisu? I was so disappointed, but I knew that I had to come back because I'm sure their tiramisu was that good. For drinks, we got a London Fog with oat milk and I got an Iced Latte with oat milk. Both drinks were good, the oat milk blended well with the espresso. It was rich yet creamy. I forgot what exactly my boyfriend ordered. But it had eggplant. I think it might've been the Sabbich Bowl. His entree was very good, it was flavorful and savory. Since I had my heart set on the tiramisu and something along those lines, I just ordered the Belgian Waffle. That was pretty good too, the waffle texture was crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. All the components were great, I loved the sliced bananas and nutella with the waffle. There were so many different textures on this dessert plate but it came together so well. It definitely satisfied my sweet tooth. Lastly, service was excellent. I was actually impressed. Though they were very busy and the staff were running around the place for a good couple minutes, we got seated quickly. Our server was awesome, he was helpful and funny. We were taken care of and had a pleasant experience. This was actually my last meal before heading to the airport, so I'm happy that my trip ended on a good note. I look forward to coming back again and trying other things on their menu, and the tiramisu!

    Stopped by this cafe after walking around Toronto with some friends. They have a good deal in the afternoon where you can get any coffee and pastry for 7 dollars. The drinks and cocktails are all 7 dollars as well which was listed outside on a sign. My friends ordered coffee and pastries for 7 dollars and I got a croissant and red sangria. For the price this place was good and the service was decent. A lot of people were working or meeting up with people in this location.

    Went on a Sunday morning, they were very busy so the waiters were slow. The kebabs shakshuka was so so, meat was more of a strong flavour like lamb taste, the Mediterranean omelette was good. Breads are made fresh and delicious. Cappuccino was really nice and creamy. English breakfast tea was too light, stronger would be much better.

    Iced Matcha Latte

    It's a perfect spot for your warm weekends! They have indoor sitting and outdoor sitting for you to enjoy! It's was a very hot day when i visited so i only ordered Iced Matcha Latte! I will definitely recommend to try this, it was amazing :) Service wise i will say they are good. I will say 7/10.

    Cafe Landwer is always a reliable spot. The menu is extensive with lots of choices. Service was friendly and efficient, and the space has a nice café feel. Overall, it makes for a solid default option when you want a dependable meal in the area.

    I had searched for a nearby breakfast cafe in yelp and came across Cafe Landwer. I read through some of the feedback and thought I'd try it out myself. I ordered the Merguez Shashaka and it was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend. I also ordered an OJ and Espresso. Team are friendly and service is great!

    Came in at 10 on a Sunday and seated quickly but it's crowded. Halloumi Shakshouka was amazing. Service was quick and attentive with waiters and manager both checking.

    Aperol Spritz

    Located at the corner of Front St and Scott St across from Berzcy Park, even though the address is Yonge St. It was late afternoon so not busy. We were immediately seated on the outdoor patio. A Mediterranean place. They have brunch which I hear is good, pastries, various drinks and coffees, pizza, burgers, pastas and Mediterranean options. Service was attentive and friendly. We had: Sharwarma sandwich: 4/5 - this was nicely prepared. The chicken was tender and you can taste all the various sauces and ingredients individually. Served with a basic salad which had fresh. Chicken skewer main: 3/5. The chicken in its own didn't have much flavour. You needed the sauce to help it along. The rice was flaky but nothing exceptional. Kofta skewer main: 2.5/5. The beef and lamb ground meat texture was a bit rough. Needed more seasoning. Like the chicken, it needed the sauce to improve it. Aperol spritz - 4/5. Nicely done. Serving sizes were reasonable. Reasonable prices.

    This Yonge & Front location is Cafe Landwer's newest location. The interior has a more retro diner look compared to the other locations, but still with the same bright and casual ambience. There are patio seatings outside in the summer, with good view of the park nearby. The menu is the same as in all other locations. Excellent food as usual - everything is delicious. They're most famous for their shakshouka, bread, and breakfast / brunch items, but other items on the menu are also equally good (fish, sabich bowl, falafels, etc.). There are lots of vegan, vegetarian, and plant-based options. Their vegan omelette (made of quinoa and chickpea flour) is one of my favourite items to get here. It comes as part of Farmer's Breakfast (if you ask to make it vegan), or it can be ordered as a stand-alone item. The sides are also really good - mujaddra (rice with lentils and spices), rice (with carrots, almonds, and caramelized onions), green vegetables (freshly cooked broccoli, green beans, and spinach), side salad, chopped salad, etc. Everything is fresh.

    This place has been on my list ever since it opened. After all, the menu looked well rounded. I ordered the salmon fish. Unfortunately, it was overcooked - it was dry and chewy. Luckily, the server came by to ask how our dishes were, so I told her the situation. She was very apologetic and rectified the overcooked fish by replacing it with another that was moist and tender. I really appreciate the service given here and would go back to give them another chance.

This continues the 2025 alphabet series, C is for Cafe Landwer. On Tuesday, 6/3/25, we went to St. Lawrence Market; see my B is for Buster Sea Cove. Seems like we happened to go alphabetical for lunch/brunch as the next day Wed., 6/4/25. This place had good reviews. So, we got on TTC to Osgoode station and was a very close walk. It said established in 1919, so we thought it's a good sign it's been in business over a century; although not this location specifically. Their history in the 20th century was that they started in Berlin, Germany in 1919, but they were a Jewish family who ended up immgrating to Israel in 1933, opening their store there, and expanded locations throughout Israel. Their history in Toronto & North America (including some in the US) is much more recent since opening in 2017. Unfortunately, my closest is New York City; none in Maryland or DC area. This location is in busy downtown Toronto. We sat outside on their big patio area as the weather was warm and could enjoy the view of the buildings, people, cars, etc. Server was friendly answering our questions. I ended up getting an egg benedict with salmon in a croissant. It was creative and delicious take on egg benedict. The only issue was it was messy to eat in the croissant, but I didn't care as it was so delicious. My girlfriend got a Belgian waffle with blueberries, whipped cream, etc. It was unique and very good & sweet too as I tried a bite. Overall, this was a 5-star experience with great food, service, & atmosphere.

Service: It was not great. We sat for a while and no one took attention (we were outside and they were busy but no excuse for them -- they should do better). We had folks come in and out and were somewhat nonchalant and not attentive. Food: This was the great part of the experience. - Berries and Granola with Greek Yogurt: My brother in law got this an he devoured it and said it was great. - Farmers Breakfast: My wife got this and she LOVED it. She went back to get their Halwah Latte (which she said was just OK) - Egg white Omlette Skillet: I customized my food and it was good -- for reference I've had better only because the cheese was feta and it was unclear that this was the only option as I don't love feta. Also I'm pretty sure while I asked for egg whites there was normal egg (i.e., eggs). If you order egg white make sure the server hears you. They screwed this up for me. This is why I'm giving it three stars -- I could have made a stink but didn't think it was necessary to do so. All in all -- I'd recommend this spot to folks but don't go there thinking the service will be great.

The open fish market adds to the experience, and the drink selection is solid. Parking isn't the easiest (expect nearby office garages) but if you're there for a weekday dinner, they offer complimentary valet at the St. Regis, which helps. Service 5/5 Top tier. Staff are polished, attentive, and actually know the menu. Recommendations were on point, and everything felt seamless without being overbearing. It's the details that make it stand out, the attention to detail and the care when serving and presenting the food. Food 4.5/5 Went with the lunch menu (great value with an appetizer and main). Quality is consistent with what you'd expect from Milos: fresh, simple, and done properly. They're also mindful of time; if you mention you're on a tight schedule, they can accommodate a one-hour lunch without making it feel rushed. Had the salmon along with salmon tartare and the octopus. Good variety for the prix fixe lunch menu too. So far the best salmon tartare I've had in city.

The four-course Sunday Family menu seemed like a great intro, especially after a lot of travel. We were celebrating my wife's birthday with another couple and added the Milos Special and extra Santorini Fava. Highlights: crisp, well-seasoned eggplant and zucchini from the Milos Special, and sublime grilled octopus -- charred outside, tender inside. The lamb chops were delicious, though juices from the steamed veg made the fries soggy. Service is where it fell apart. No one explained that the Santorini Fava was a puree, not whole beans -- tasty, but clearly meant as a dip we never got instructions for. I used it on my lamb instead. At the end of the meal, a passing server (not our actual waiter, who'd vanished) told us the set menu didn't include dessert. We believed them. Then servers brought out one slice of birthday cake with a candle, a great gesture but kind of odd for us all to sit around with this one slice. My wife asked for a few more forks so we could pretend we were eating at the trough, so befitting for this calibre of restaurant right? Our waiter reappeared with a table service à la carte dessert selection we weren't interested in. Only later, at home, did we learn the set menu actually included dessert -- karydopita or seasonal fruit. Another service disappointment that sours one's taste. The restaurant wasn't busy, yet our waiter disappeared repeatedly. What was with that? We looked, he wasn't serving others. No surprise there's no Michelin star or Bib Gourmand here. The food was mostly excellent, but the service was unacceptable for this tier. We won't return, and we'll warn friends off. Management should follow up with our waiter, Margelo, to see if this was a one-off.

It was probably about 15 minutes between the time I ordered and when I got the food, so this is clearly not the place to go if you're in a rush. But I'd say the food was worth the wait. That cheese crust is the obvious star of the show here, while the fresh, soft bread is also quite delicious. The other components are tasty too, but the patty itself is the weakest link. It didn't have any kind of crust and just seemed a little on the bland side. But that's a minor complaint for a rather decadent lunch that I quite enjoyed eating.

Unfortunately, they don't allow you to switch your carbs to a salad, thus forcing you to pay an additional $3, for a salad and yogurt. That works out to be almost $20 with a soda... a bit pricey given this is more of a take-out fast food joint. The food is alright. Pretty average, typical Persian food.
