    Maple creme brulee
    Pallavi R.

    Ambience & decor: When you enter this restaurant inside the Hart House, you need to look no further to be at Hogwarts. Beautiful building - Gothic architecture with stained glass. The stained glass has paintings of old professors. Beverage: Unusual - juices like pear +ginger, cocktails, wines. Food & service: The manger is friendly but the staff - depends on whom you get for service. The waiter we had was rude & blew hot & cold. My husband was trying to be friendly through out the meal but the waiter never thawed. We had taken our son for his birthday & when the waiter was told conversationally that it was his b'day, he just said 'that's nice' & didn't wish him. This is supposed to be a fine dining place & detracted from our meal experience. A 'Happy Birthday' would have vindicated the waiter & got a 5 star. Hence the 4 star. Service is 3 star or less. The food menu is limited, especially for vegetarians but unique. They did make a dish sans fish which I ordered. Otherwise we would all be eating the gnocchi. However, I feel they should have substituted something in place of fish or offered a discount. A fine dining place, provided the service is nice. It would be nice to see some more vegetarian entrees.

    Grilled lamb belly sandwich

    Gallery Grill is a hidden gem at UofT and a lot of people outside the university do not know about this place. It is located inside Hart House, a beautiful historical building that is used to host various events, such as wedding receptions, graduation ceremonies and other social events. It is one of those "Harry Potter" buildings of UofT. The decorations inside the restaurant especially around christmas are beautiful. We went for lunch with my colleagues and I noticed that a lot of people were dressed in business-casual attire. We were seated in a big hall with huge windows and a high ceiling. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and patiently explained the menu to us and answered our questions. I got the soup of the day (potato-leek) which was extra rich and flavorful. The portion size was just right. For main I got the grilled lamb belly sandwich - another amazing dish. It was not really a sandwich that you are supposed to pick up and bite into: it was a layer of bread topped with juicy lamb belly, home-made mayo, tomatoes, black kale, and finished with fresh arugula on top - a fancy twist on a sandwich. It was absolutely delicious. This place is well-known for their maple syrup Creme brulee so I had to order that for dessert even though other choices on the menu sounded pretty good too. It certainly did not disappoint!! You have to break the burnt caramel at the top to get to the rich creamy delicious part at the bottom. I could have gone for a second one except that I was so full I could barely move and was already in a food coma from all the delicious food. There are not that many options on the menu, but everything is the best quality. I will definitely be back in the near future, and try their drinks and other dishes. Creme brulee will be on my dessert list again... can't go wrong with that!

    The menu is very interesting...I tried the Smoked Trout Okonomiyaki and it was lovely! The Lemon sorbet is also very on point. Hart House is full of great things!

The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we were comfortable and well taken of throughout the entire meal. The food was absolutely delicious fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared, and the drinks were equally impressive. One of the best parts is the view you can actually see the CN Tower right from the restaurant, which makes the experience even more special and uniquely Toronto. It added such a beautiful touch to the evening. Overall, Siempre Restaurant exceeded my expectations. If you're in Canada and looking for incredible food, great service, and a stunning view, this is definitely the place to go. Highly recommend!

Pierina guided us via phone and even came outside of the restaurant and waved as we approached. That was awesome Customer service as well as kindness. Ambiance was chill inside. Especially liked the artwork and table with their name on it. I had the Nutella latte, Nutella and strawberry waffle, and a side of sausage. Didn't like the sausage at all (tasted a bit gamey) but that's probably because ein the states there are nitrates, etc that make it taste better. No biggie! She switched it out for bacon, and that was fine and appreciated. My sister had the breakfast tacos that looked delicious and she really enjoyed. All in all this was a great pick and I would return when im Canada ever again and I'm in the area. Keep up the great work, Pierina. Her welcoming attitude attentiveness and knowledge of the menu was stellar and warrants recognition. Thank you!!!

Where you order and where you pick up your drink isn't designed to allow for a good flow for customers, aside from that, I have no complaints. I ordered a latte and grabbed two goodies for the road, a raspberry croissant and a ginger molasses cookie. The staff working were welcoming and friendly and my items were ready rather quickly. Once I got back to my hotel, I settled in to enjoy and get some work done. My latte was smooth and creamy and just what I needed to get my day started. My raspberry croissant was beautiful and packed full of flavor. The filling wasn't too sweet and there was just the right amount inside. I saved my cookie for a snack while I traveled home later that day. I love how it had chunks of sugared ginger on top. The cookie had the perfect amount ​of chew to it and the ginger on top added an extra burst of ginger. It was lovely. I'm so glad I found this cafe on Yelp and I highly suggest you pay them a visit. I'm still dreaming of all the pastries I didn't get to try.

A quick Yelp check pointed me to this spot a brisk eight-minute walk from Queen Station on Yonge, and I'm so glad I made the detour instead of heading to one of my usual haunts. I was seated immediately. The place has lots of seating -- high tops, tables and booths -- and a cool, eclectic vibe: comfy chairs, interesting wall photos, eggshell light fixtures and cheerful yolk‑yellow and orange tones. Big glass windows make it a fun people‑watching spot, and the open kitchen lets you see the cooks hustling away. I ordered the classic breakfast (just over $18): two scrambled eggs -- soft and perfect -- plus herb potatoes fried in beef tallow (I swapped those for lightly dressed artisan greens). You choose your protein -- bacon, Canadian bacon, rosemary ham, chicken, or pork bangers -- and I went with the hardwood‑smoked bacon: three perfectly cooked slices. Coffee was ethically sourced, and my mochaccino hit the sweet spot -- not too sugary. All in all 10 out of 10. I plan to try their gluten free waffle next time. Extras worth noting: they offer booze, smoothies, juices, and a $4.75 "coffee bump" (1 oz of Irish cream, Kahlúa, whiskey, bourbon, brandy, or Grand Marnier). Eggs are free‑run. Service was friendly, efficient and knowledgeable -- got me in and out without feeling rushed, back at my desk before 1 pm. I'll definitely be back -- next time with friends so I have an excuse to order everything on the menu. Highly recommend for anyone who needs a well‑made, comforting breakfast-anytime (and possibly a legal excuse for a midday coffee bump).

I was constantly checking wait times on both yelp and google, as well as going back and forth between this place and another that did offer reservations. However, the yelp waitlist system worked in our favour and our table was ready upon arrival! Food is very tasty and beautifully plated. Tons of options, almost overwhelming! But something for everyone. The service wasn't exactly with a smile-- I get it, you're busy, it's a lot. No one came to check on us and see how the food was, but luckily we didn't really need anything (except pepper, but we moved on haha).

You get to select the type of bread that you're gonna consume it with, ribeye thin strips were not overcooked - it was actually perfect and everything tasted so fresh honestly, I would definitely come back to get this dish again. Cousin had the salmon Benedict and she thoroughly enjoyed it. We also ordered pancakes, the lemon blueberry, one specifically. To me these pancakes if you were gonna take them with just base were very flat meaning no flavour the toppings the lemon blueberry compote sweet just wasn't for me to be honest.
