    Brunch menu
    Paige D.

    This rooftop bar is the perfect spot if you're looking for a laid back experience with quality food, service, and a beautiful view of the water. If you're staying at the hotel as a guess be sure to bring your swimsuit to enjoy the pool. Overall this was a lovely dining experience. My friend and I walked in for brunch where I had the avocado Benedict and she enjoyed the tropical pancakes. Prices are a bit higher but it's worth it for the quality of food and views. They have a very large drink menu. I only photographed the first few pages. I would absolutely come back if I lived local to the city.

    4 stars just for the vibes! This rooftop spot is beautiful! Amazing layout and design with dinning area leading out to pool area with spectacular skyline view of Toronto! I can't say much about the food because I only had the Fried Calamari, which was good. However, this is a must visit when in Toronto and the staff was great as well.

    Beautiful views, great indoor and outdoor seating, and incredibly kind staff. I didn't feel rushed at all and this was a very relaxing and peaceful place for brunch! Not too loud, great natural lighting, seating both for dates and larger parties. Mostly meat & vegetarian options, some vegan options and fantastic serving sizes

    KOST is definitely one of the cutest rooftops in Toronto The vibe is luxury, from the infinity pool to the CN Tower views. The food was so good. The tacos were flavorful and the presentation was nice. What really stood out were the margarita flights in Patrón bottles It was such a fun idea and made the whole experience feel extra. The lime margarita was my favorite, super fresh and not too sweet. Watermelon and mango were on the sweeter side but still tasty. Everything about this place feels elevated, chic, and worth the visit

    Been here a couple of times, and my last visit was by far the best. I was served by an amazing server named Will -- he took great care of my friend and me. It was her birthday, which I had noted in the reservation, and he actually remembered and wished her a happy birthday! (I've noted birthdays in other reservations before, and no one ever acknowledges it.) Food was 10/10. Atmosphere was 1000/10. Service was 10000/10.

    Beautiful location, such a good view of the CN tower, a bunch of people were taking pictures. Everything we got was delicious, nothing out of this world but still good. Food and especially cocktails are very expensive but at the end of the day, you are paying for the view. Our server was wonderful and even brought out a free glass of Prosecco for my friend (as we were celebrating her birthday).

    Salmon Niçoise Salad

    Located on the 44th floor of Bisha Hotel in downtown Toronto, Kost has a lovely patio with a great view of the Toronto skyline and small pool. It's perfect for a rootfop brunch with a pool in the background. The food is excellent, and service is great and attentive. It tends to get very busy, especially during breakfast and brunch, so making a reservation online is highly recommended. The brunch menu contains several tropical-themed dishes (such as Tropical Coconut Pancakes with coconut whip cream and toasted shaved coconut, Kost Smoothie Bowl, Tropical Yogurt Parfait, and Tropical Fruit Bowl as a side). I love their tropical fruits selection: mango, pineapple, kiwi, coconut, lychees. I had the Salmon Niçoise Salad which consisted of grilled Atlantic salmon with green beans, cherry tomatoes, radishes, leafy greens, baby potatoes, black olives, and soft-boiled eggs. I asked for an extra side salad, and the portion was quite generous. It was a very satisfying brunch with great rooftop view to boot. Note that the washrooms are located one floor down (on the 43rd floor of the hotel), so keep that in mind as you'll need to take the stairs.

    Sad to see Kost rated so poorly. Visited a friend in Toronto and she recommended this place. I'm glad we went because it was amazing. Service here was the BEST service I received in my whole 5 day trip in toronto. She would come refill our waters, check on us, ask if we needed anything else. It was amazing. We got sat in the corner where you could see the CN Tower and it was AMAZING. Such a beautiful view of the city from our brunch spot. Lots of comfy chairs and places to sit. The food was also great. I got chicken and waffles and it had a spicy maple that was TO DIE FOR.

    I never have met a rooftop that I did not like! I would love to come back here in the summer and experience the open doors/windows plus the views of the city. I came here during dinner time and winter; it was cool to see the cityscape lit up. I would say this is a more upscale restaurant. However, it was not anything that blew my mind away. I thought the service was the best part of my dining experience. I understand that Toronto is expensive - this felt more expensive than necessary but that may be because it is a rooftop bar and restaurant. My cocktail was delicious and I wish I could've had five more of them. I enjoyed my food, but it felt a bit odd to have a sandwich on a dinner menu. Overall, this was a good experience because I got have dinner and drinks with a colleague!

    I was here for an engagement dinner party and it was actually so good! We had a set menu so were able to try an assortment of their dishes - highlights for me were the burrata, rigatoni, and the shishito peppers! Chicken was a bit dry but that was the only miss for me on the menu. The ambiance is great and there is a gorgeous view outside of the city and the CN tower. Their outdoor pool is really nice! Service was also excellent! I can definitely see myself coming back!

    Wild Mushrooms Toast
    Alaleh P.

    Located on the 44th floor of Basha Hotel, it offers a splendid view of the city and Lake Ontario. The rooftop is very beautiful during summertime. A nice place for celebrations, birthdays, etc. They offer weekend brunch, too. We came here for brunch on a Saturday and made reservations in advance. It has coat check during winter season and the staff are very nice and helpful. I liked the vibe, vibrant and quiet. We ordered "Coconut Pancake", "Egg Benedict Avocado", "Avocado Toast" and "Wild Mushrooms Toast" and all of them were fresh and tasty.

    Chips and Guacamole
    Deena S.

    Great food, amazing service, and even better views. Came here for brunch with a friend and we loved it. We ordered the Fried Calamari, Chicken Tacos, Chips and Guac, Fries, Spicy Tequila Rigatoni, Beef Rice Bowl, and Super Rocher for dessert. Everything tasted great. Kost is hands down one of my fav summer spots in downtown Toronto. Highly recommend!

    Kōst is a delicious restaurant with great drinks and excellent service. The indoor and outdoor style is great, so you can enjoy the weather and views while being in shade. It was a great first stop when visiting Toronto!

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!!!

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.

Neither did the eggs. It's like they figured out how to get the look and texture but gave up there. I couldn't eat them. And the bacon was also awful. It smelled like a bag of dog treats. I've had phenomenal vegan bacon at many places but whatever this was, was not good at all. Overall, it was very expensive and very disappointing.

Great food, great service, great energy. I cannot wait to go back.
