    Matcha latte
    Cindy D.

    We luckily got a table right away during weekend brunch time. We got the KFC sando, GG breakfast plate and shared a matcha latte. The sando was pretty good, I liked how they branded their own bread with the logo. Seriously very aesthetically pleasing. We opted for the garlic fries for an extra charge and I think it made a big difference. It was well tossed in the spices and paired well with the sando. Sando was good, nothing too fancy and was a good amount. The GG bfast place we found was okay, we were not a fan of the jeyuk sausage at all. Should have gotten bacon instead imo. Tables are a bit small and it is also a bit cramped too so watch your surroundings! Nice that the have a rack to hang your coats on the side. I like that there is a cafe at the front for people who want to grab and go any coffee/pastries or get dessert after dining in. Madelines were soft and super buttery (Y).

    Croque Madame

    This spot on College West is a must-go-to for Brunch. Note that you will experience a wait if you don't reserve in advance on the weekends. Please note I would actually give a 4.5*. It was a wonderful brunch - wonderful quality, great service and innovative options. The restaurant space is light and airy with a casual seating area in front for people who just want to grab a drink and a baked good. Wonderful fusion take on a bunch of brunch favorites. I tried the Breakfast poutine which has their signature beef bulgogi in it (not to be missed!). It was delicious. My friend had the Croque Madame which also has the beef bulgogi in it. Other options on the menu include a take on a KFC sandwich, pancakes and a standard breakfast. Coffees and other drinks are top notch. You just have to watch the team to see the care put into each item. They are also know for their varieties of Madeleines. The Sticky Toffee pudding one is sooo good but they also do scones and danishes, mostly some special of the day. (The poached pear danish was amazing - not overly sweet and crispy pastry - perfection!!). Street parking or TTC to get there.

    6 pack madeleines

    Got the 6 pack of madeleines. Unique flavours but they were pretty stale. Disappointing for them being 5-6$ each (30$+ in total since I got a mix). Their strawberry matcha was ok- a strong strawberry flavour but completely eclipsed the taste of matcha.

    Avocado toast and frozen matcha with vanilla foam

    Great dining and cafe spot on the west end. I was drawn by their matcha drink - frozen matcha and added the vanilla foam on top. Certainly stands out as one of the unique matcha options in the city. I know their online website mentions brunch is only on Fridays and weekends but it's also on a Wednesday when I dropped by. I was really tempted by their display cabinet of madeleines as well! But I ended up choosing something more savoury, Honey Garlic Avo Toast (thick cut honey garlic brûléed brioche, smashed avocado, toasted walnuts, lemon vinagrette, arugula, poached egg, reggiano parmigiano, pickled shallots) for $21. It's a bit on the higher end for a zhuzhed up avo toast. Their GG French toasts are around the same price range while their chicken sando is cheaper at $16. So I'm guessing it's because of the housemade brioche bread. Service was friendly. Luckily it wasn't too busy so I was able to get some work and online meetings done while enjoying my food. Online reservations could be made in advance but you can also walk-in without one during mid week at around lunch at least when I was there.

    Came to check out their frozen matcha, they were one of the first ones to do this in Toronto! Upon arriving, there is a brunch dining area near the back and a quick take out spot at the front with cute seating and tiny tables. Opted for both the strawberry frozen matcha with strawberry foam top and the regular matcha latte. I thought both were great, but the strawberry frozen matcha looked muddy when mixed, would look better if they layered it more carefully. I loved the front seating area with their tiny tables, I thought it was such a vibe. The front area also sells local goodies like jams and salts. I hear their madeleines were also great - would hav to come back next time to dine in and try their sweets.

    What I love most about this place is the customer service. Outstanding actually. The food is much better than dinner specifically the shrimp toast is a must to order. The chicken sandwich although tasty is outshined by Ohiru which is absolutely worth the wait to try. The sando I had competes with only one I had from a popup location the first time I tried this in Paris. The pastry and breads here are very good.

    Great food and drinks, got the sourdough pancakes and the eggs Benedict and for a drink the coconut matcha slush. 8.5/10 all round experience

    Came here on thanksgiving for brunch and can I just say it was a great meal. I've been meaning to try this place for a while after hearing about it on social media. I can say that the food did not disappoint. We got the shrimp croquette, chicken burger, and sticky toffee cake and each one was a hit. I cannot stop thinking about the cake and I will definitely be back to eat it again. I will say that the portions are quite small so keep it in mind if you're expecting a large plate. The chicken burger was $21 for the burger alone and you had to add 4$ to have fries with it. I didn't order any drinks but just looking at the menu there were many creative options like pbj latte that I never seen before. Service and ambiance was fantastic. Restaurant is on the smaller side so be prepared to be squeezed together if coming with a large group

    Came here for dinner, but I wish I had come for brunch, instead. The service was really good, but the food was average at best. The cereal shrimp toast is basically a croquette. You can get something equally cripsy on the outside while soft on the inside for a fraction of the price elsewhere. The bavette is apparently a new item on their menu. We asked for medium, but got medium rare. Given this fact, I expected the meat to be even more tender, but nope. It was unfortunately very chewy. We also got the mochi pomme-dauphine. The mochi itself was delicious, but the dipping sauce that came with it was super boring. We ended up dipping all of the mochi in the bavette sauce to give them proper flavor. The worst part was the ambience. The sound proofing here is non-existent. I could barely hear the person sitting across from me, especially with how loud the music was playing. The staff was very friendly and attentive, and it is the only reason I'm giving this place any stars at all. Food came fast and our drinks were constantly refilled. You also get an adorable sticker of their mascot at the end. The highlight of the evening was the peach raspberry sparkling lemonade. Not because it tasted amazing (it was just average), but because it glows beautifully with the dinner candle behind it.

    * Steak frites: solid, cooked nicely, but pretty standard. * Croque madame: comforting, and the bulgogi twist did add a nice touch. * Cereal shrimp toast: definitely the most creative dish out of the three with fun crunch and flavor, though not something I'd crave again. They used to have a mashed potato as a side dish on the brunch menu and honestly the only thing I truly loved here. But now it's only available at dinner. I've tried a few of their drinks, including the viral matcha slush with strawberry cold foam. It was way too sweet for me and didn't live up to the hype, unfortunately. I also gave their madeleines a try, though for something they're known for, I found them a bit on the dry side. Overall, brunch here is alright. Not a spot I'd recommend or go out of my way for, but I don't mind joining friends if this is their choice. Cute vibe, fun menu, and good service.

    Menu - Drinks (July 2025)

    With such an interesting fusion menu, welcoming atmosphere and great service, this place seems like it should be great. So not sure if this is about personal tastes, but I found it just ok. Stopped by for lunch and got a whole bunch of stuff: GG's Brioche, Cereal Shrimp Toast, Bibim Quinoa Salad, Owen's Sando, Matcha Pistachio Madeline, and a Yuzu Tonic. And consistently across all those, I found the taste to be just ok (and for some of them, pretty pricey for the portion sizes). It's like the flavours across the dishes were almost muted. Fusion cuisine can go one of two ways: accentuating the boldness of the differences, or tempering them down to the safer and more mellow version. This, for me at least, was the latter. Still an ok spot to try, but it's just too bad as the dishes ended up being a ghost of what they could have been.

    I got their iced blueberry matcha latte. I thought it was alright - the matcha wasn't a bright green and the drink was way too sweet because of the blueberry jam. After mixing, I could barely taste the matcha. Also tried my friends frozen matcha with vanilla foam. It's what you'd expect - matcha in frozen form. Service was good and the place is very cute. Definitely come here for instagrammable drinks but if you're a matcha lover, I'd go to a different place.

    GG's Tsukune
    Kelvin L.

    We were at Gateua Ghost to celebrate a birthday, enjoying their dinner menu. Making a reservation is recommended as the dinner crowd fills up very quickly. The staff was very attentive and it was suggested that 2 mains plus 2-3 small plates were great for a couple, so we went with the: smoked kimchi arancihi, cereal shrimp toast, GG's gai lan, and the GG's tsukune and korean spicy short rib as the mains. We also got the sticky madeleine toffee pudding for dessert. Everything tasted great and the staff was very attentive. In terms of kimchi flavours, it was a bit too light, but the other dishes were a great fusion. The arancini was quite light and needed more kimchi, the sauce was creamy, but could do with more kimchi. The tsukune was very herbally in flavourful and not salty. The madeleine was not too sweet and a perfect finish to the night. Their dinner menu does change throughout the season. We will keep an eye out for a reason to visit on a special occassion.

The almond croissant, when you're lucky enough to claim one before nine, delivers a genuinely impressive balance of shattering, buttery layers and a filling laced generously with almond cream, more Parisian in spirit than most bakeries attempting the same feat across this city. Even the raspberry version, when available, carries the same confident hand in the kitchen. The coffee program deserves equal praise. A well pulled latte and a properly balanced cappuccino suggest a team that treats espresso with the same seriousness as their pastry case, and it shows in the cup. Where the experience finds room to grow is in the choreography of the space itself. The room is petite, charming in its cobalt blue framed way, but the flow between ordering and pickup can feel cramped during a rush, and seating fills quickly. The patio, however, is a genuine reward, a shaded perch worth claiming on a slow afternoon. This is a cafe operating with real ambition and skill, let down only occasionally by its own popularity. Arrive early, claim a croissant while you still can, and settle onto the patio; you'll leave understanding exactly why regulars keep coming back.

The line moved quick, even though it wrapped around, we waited for about 20 minutes only. The menu has some cool items, a few fusion dishes and trendy items. Awesome presentation and definitely Instagram worthy. I got the huevos rancheros, it was more like an egg burrito with beans, sauce and potatoes on top. The potatoes were probably my favourite out of everything. It was good but not the traditional you would expect. My friends sadly did not like their eggs benedict. The coffee was also average, not very strong or fragrant. Service was absolutely terrible. Our sever took so long to come, we see him just chatting in the corner. It was hard to flag him down for anything. It was not a nice experience. The menu does have some other cool items I do want to try (pancakes and french toast)... so maybe I will give it another shot if I am in the area one day.

Very friendly service (server was Crystal). Sat outside and still was attended to attentively - typically worried that patio seating gets less attention but that wasn't the case here. The menu excited me as brunch usually is a choice between sweet or savoury, but they have various options with both. Got the Indecisive with the eggs poached medium ( would recommend soft for future or sunny side up). The pistachio latte was yummy but with the matcha pancakes it became too sugary of a meal. Overall a casual yet put together vibe. Great for friends, dates, solo, or family. Washrooms not the cleanest, but the dining area was good. Did notice a few more birds than typical patios (tried to eat our scraps as we were waiting for the bill).
