Perched high above the bustle of downtown Toronto, LOUIX LOUIS makes a compelling first impression. The dining room is genuinely handsome -- a study in polished Art Deco glamour softened by sweeping city views that lend every table a sense of occasion. On a Valentine's Day brunch visit, the atmosphere alone was enough to justify the reservation. The kitchen demonstrates genuine competence: dishes arrive with care, the pacing is unhurried, and the mise en scène -- from tableside presentation to that now-famous thirteen-layer chocolate cake -- reveals an establishment that understands the theatre of fine dining. That towering slice of chocolate cake, in particular, is a masterstroke of marketing and pastry craft in equal measure; it draws the eye, earns its reputation, and very nearly steals the show. Where LOUIX LOUIS gives one pause is in the cuisine's ability to fully match its surroundings. The cooking is accomplished and reliably pleasant, yet seldom rises to the level of genuine distinction one might hope for at this price point. Dishes satisfy without surprising; technique is evident but inspiration, at moments, feels held in reserve. For the corporate traveller or the visitor seeking a polished, geographically convenient showcase of the city's skyline, this represents an entirely sound choice. For those seeking an experience whose flavours linger as long as the view, the kitchen has room yet to grow into its magnificent stage. Service is attentive and well-intentioned, though it can occasionally want for the depth of knowledge that elevates a good meal into a memorable one. LOUIX LOUIS is, in sum, a very good restaurant striving -- not quite yet arriving -- at greatness. The bones are exceptional; one hopes the culinary vision will, in time, catch up with them. read more

My boyfriend took me here for our anniversary and it was memorable to say the least. This restaurant is located in upstairs on the 31st floor of the St. Regis hotel. Coming in, it felt very luxurious. To be honest I was a little nervous because I came in feeling out of place as it is not somewhere I would eat casually, but the waitress that assisted us was so kind! We came strictly for cake as we had eaten right before, but we took a peek at the winterlicious menu, and the prices looked super affordable! We ordered the cake and yes, it maybe just be a tall slice of cake, but it was moist and decadent and probably my favourite cake. Overall, if you are a chocolate cake fanatic, this is the place to go! read more

LOUIX LOUIS - King's Cake - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

My friend and I came here for one thing only and that was the 13 layer chocolate cake. We came during the week on the later side. We were seated upon arrival. Our server understood we were only there for the cake. It was brought out not too long after we ordered. It was ultimately a good cake. It was more expensive than I was expecting, but it was good and can be shared amongst several people. The ambiance of the restaurant was also nice. It had dim lighting and had a vibe. I'd come back and have more cake or maybe try other items on the menu. read more

We made a reservation for a weekend night to enjoy their Winterlicious menu and enjoyed our dinner in a calm and warm setting. The space feels elegant without being formal, and the bar offers a beautiful view of Lake Ontario that really adds to the experience. We started with cocktails before moving into our three‑course meal. Each dish arrived with perfect timing, giving us the chance to enjoy every course without feeling rushed. From the appetizer to the entrée and dessert, everything was well‑paced and thoughtfully presented. read more

This restaurant is located in the St.Regis hotel. We visited for Winterlicious lunch on a weekday. The environment is very classy and elegant. However, I was glad I rescheduled to an earlier lunch time as the duck confit was already sold out by 12:30 pm. I saw multiple people at other tables were disappointed with the selections left. I was surprised that the cheeseburger was also sold out pretty early as well. That being said, the serviwas really friendly and accommodating. Food tasted good, with the duck confit being the highlight. We also tried the chocolate cake for dessert, the display was appealing but tasted nothing special. read more

I have been wanting to try this place for so long and finally had the opportunity. I was a bit nervous because I've heard people on TikTok say it was overrated, but I completely disagree. It just goes to show why it is so important to try things for yourself. It's not that other people's opinions don't matter, but you can really miss out on great things if you don't form your own. Good or bad, you have to experience it firsthand. I loved the staff and how attentive they were. They really went out of their way to make sure our visit was enjoyable. I really enjoyed the drinks and thought the tartare de boeuf was excellent. It was my first time trying it and it won't be my last because it was so flavorful. I also had the cowboy steak which was excellent with a side of lobster mashed potatoes. The lobster was so buttery and delicious, and the King's Cake was everything. I actually enjoyed it more than my friends did, which just proves that everyone has different tastes. All in all, we had an amazing dinner and made great memories. The gorgeous atmosphere was the cherry on top. It was so elegant on the inside and everything was beautiful. I will definitely be back! read more

Had a little bit of trouble finding this place that was short walk from King station, and then up the hotel elevator. All the dishes were really well made and the place was very beautiful, and the staff were attentive ! It got quite busy in the restaurant as the night went on which surprised us as it was almost empty when we got there. We got bread, beef wellington, salmon, and scallops! We had brought a cake because it was our anniversary, but was notified that there is a cake cutting fee so we decided against it when it was time for dessert. However, they still stored it in the fridge for us, and brought it out for us to take photos with , which was really thoughtful! Definitely worth a try, however I would love to see them have some more bells and whistles at this price point. Dont get me wrong though, all the food was prepared great! read more

If you're in downtown Toronto and looking for a bar with stunning views and a truly high-class vibe, this is the place. Luxurious, stylish, and always a treat. The cocktails are excellent, and believe it or not--the cakes here are kind of famous. I come by once in a while with friends for a casual drink, and everyone I've brought has loved it. Of course, since it's inside the St. Regis Hotel, the service is top-notch. It can get busy, so sometimes a reservation helps, but usually it's not too hard to get a table. The food is solid across the board, and their Sunday brunch is absolutely worth checking out. Overall, this spot delivers on luxury without being pretentious. Highly recommend if you want to impress a date, enjoy a night out with friends, or just soak in a gorgeous Toronto view. read more

This was supposed to be the highlight of the trip and it was one of many. There were a lot of aspects to this place that I'll try to hit on. Service: Nothing short of amazing. We were treated like VIPs from the moment we walked in until we walked out. Super friendly and helpful. Incredible. Food: Exceptional - we had a 5 course tasting menu that included enough vegetarian/fish options that were good for my wife. I had the beef tenderloin and my wife had the sole Meunier - we were both blown away to the point that my wife asked for more a Sauce because it was so good. Ambience: This was the clincher. The dining room is out of a movie with a bar wall that will blow your mind. Absolute luxury meets fine dining meets chill house vibes. 100% awesome. All that said, it was an expensive night..... really expensive but I looked at it as a once in a lifetime treat for us on Valentine's Day. Was it pricey? Sure. Was it worth it? You bet. If you want to treat yourself and your partner to the night of your life, this is the place. read more

Staying at the St Regis and it was bitter cold in TO so decided to give this place a try for dinner. Our server was polished and efficient. Started with the Brioche and it came with the best maple butter I've ever tasted. I could eat this butter on a piece of wood! Followed up with huge Newfoundland oysters. So fresh! Truffle chicken and lobster salad were extremely tasty and the brussel sprouts are a must get. Terrific and reasonably priced wine list as well. Only negative is that restaurants of this caliber and price point should give you an amuse bouche before dinner or little chocolates after dinner. If you're going to charge for bread, it seems like the right thing to do. This one doesn't. I would definitely go back next time I'm back in town. read more

Louix Louis, known for their unique thirteen layer chocolate cake, did not disappoint at all! We went there to celebrate a birthday and ordered the Petit King's Cake which is their most popular dessert. Thirteen layers of delicious chocolate served with a side of vanilla ice cream and the way it was presented and cut, I was in awe of the service! We went there after dinner so we were too full to eat or order anything else but I guess I'll be back for their drinks coz they had a massive bar with an impressive wine collection as well. read more

Came here for Christmas Eve and tried the set. Tried: Chefs amuse buche- brioche and small bites. Was great but they forgot half of the table. Burrata and tomato- nice and flavorful Endive Salad- average Seared Foie Gras- nicely seared Mains: yuzu seared sea bass w beurre blanc- crispy and sides were great Beef Wellington- overcooked and lacked the demi sauce Dessert: baked alaska- lemon cake was refreshing Yule log- maple buttercream was light, just ok. Looked nice Overall, food was hit or miss. Disappointing how the beef Wellington was overcooked and lacked flavor. Really surprised that they charged for water even still. Service wasn't super attentive either. Feel there's better options in dt read more

Made a late night visit to celebrate a birthday. Ordered the King's Cake and a couple of Americanos. The coffee was rich and delicious. The cake was over the top with its 13 layers and really delicious. The combination of the cake and the ice cream, that it is served with it, was really delicious. The cake itself was the best chocolate cake I have had - not too dense, not too sweet and just the right amount of richness. Had enough left over to enjoy for a few days to come. read more

LOUIX LOUIS - King's Cake at Louix Louis, St Regis, Toronto - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I've been here a couple of times both for regular menu in the winter and summer time drinks. This time, went on the first day of Winterlicious around 5:30 pm and it was already quite busy. You go to 31st floor, the space itself is beautiful, definitely a vibes and Instagram pics place aka girls night. The bar area in particular is great for photos, though I'd recommend going on a weekday closer to 5 pm if you want it less crowded. There were corporate people on Friday, as well as girl groups and double dates. Dinner for winterlicious was $75 pp. For apps we had the squash velouté which is a soup, and the foie gras was rich (almost too rich by the end, but still enjoyable). For mains, the duck confit was good, while the braised short ribs were just okay and not as flavourful as expected. Desserts were on the sweeter side, the petite king's cake and LOUIX LOUIS cheesecake cake were both quite sweet, and we didn't end up finishing them. Service was quick and accommodating despite how busy it was. Overall, this is a great spot for the ambiance and city views, and it would work especially well for larger birthday dinners or group celebrations, they have an upstairs private space that can be reserved. If going, I recommend their regular menu rather than the Winterlicious offerings. read more

I was looking for a spot to hang out after dinner and continue catching up with a friend who was visiting from out of town, so we decided to head to Louix Louis for some drinks. Located on the 31st floor of the St. Regis Hotel, it is a fantastic spot for a drink if you're looking to splurge a little and enjoy a refined atmosphere. Louix Louis has an extensive drink menu, from beers, well-crafted cocktails, to fine wine, they are able to cater to a wide range of tastes. I was particularly impressed by the selection of mocktails available for those who aren't consuming alcohol. I tried a cocktail and mocktail, and enjoyed both. The high ceilings and dark wood furnishings with gold accents give the space a warm, cozy, yet sophisticated vibe. Finally, the service here was impeccable. From the moment we walked in, the staff treated us like royalty adding to the elevated experience. read more

The service was impeccable! We booked dinner for our anniversary and my husband requested vegan gluten free items for me. Chef Luigi curated a wonderful menu with options for me and hubby ordered off the regular menu. He had oysters and steak. I had a beautifully dressed pear and walnut salad with a tempeh and vegetable entree. For dessert they made a fantastic vegan, gluten free brownie with sorbet and berries. I was totally stuffed! Hubby had a mocktail and we finished with tea and coffee. The servers (Salim and his partners) and the manager were kind and attentive. The rooftop patio is lovely and the view from our table was the lake peeking through various towers. The ambiance was nice and the bar/decor was classy. read more

I had made late night reservations days in advance, got in on time. The restaurant was at a medium level busy. The actual server approached the table only 3 times. Had to ask for water, and one refill. By the end of the night, we had sat, visually complete with our meals and were not approached for 45 minutes, not our server in sight. Tried to talk to bar tender and was purposely dismissed. As a server in fine dining myself, this service was extremely disappointing especially for the cost and taste of the food being comparable to cheaper places. read more

An upscale establishment at the Regis hotel. The interior is impressive, really high ceilings and really pretty on in the inside. The restaurant is on the 31st floor so you should have a nice south west facing view. The service was a rather disappointing for the price point of the restaurant. On a rainy day, there was nowhere to put my umbrella or my wet coat... Service was a bit inconsistent even for a not so busy day. Our water was constantly being refilled (perhaps since it was $9 a bottle). Our table was brushed off once between bread and appetizers but not before entrees? Bread + butter - Maybe we came by late, but bread was a bit underwhelming. Butter visibly had herbs in it, but did not have much flavouring. The interior of the bread was fluffy, but dry a bit disappointing... Burrata - My favourite cheese, a melange of textures and pairs well as a salad and a sweet fruity dressing. Lettuce was excellent, fresh and crunchy. Burrata was great and fresh! The addition of nuts added a crunchy texture as well. Would recommend. Foie gras - On its own the seared foie gras isn't for everyone, including myself. It had a nice buttery mouthfeel, but had an innards aftertaste. It was good after spreading it ontop of the brioche toast and strawberry jam. Not for everyone. King salmon - King salmon came sitting ontop of a lake of black lentils. The Lentils themselves were dry, but had a good texture. The tomato paste was excellent and saved the lentils from the lack of flavour. The salmon itself was cooked beautifully. crispy on the top and cooked just right on the inside. the top was overly salted, but the tomato paste once again saved the dish. cheese cake - The ratio between jam to cheese to crust was my favourite I've ever seen. Unfortunately, I did not like the jam as it was too tart for me. The white chocolate on the side did help with this. Nice to try, would not get again. In all, considering service, quality of food and cost, I cannot recommend this place. read more

Let's be honest that cake just looks great, but doesn't taste that great! I'm speaking of the chocolate cake that everybody goes for! The King cake slice. It's huge, so you definitely want to share it with some people. Honestly, I've had much better cakes and I'm not even a cake person. I only like chocolate cake specifically. 5/10 The service was very cold and not very welcoming. The service fell flat. read more

Birthday celebration. We did appetizers and cake and it was the perfect amount of food. The Kings cakes is 13 layers of chocolate bliss. I'd been looking forward to it with anticipation all week. It did not disappoint. The appetizers were all delicious. They bring fresh brioche bread to start which melts in your mouth. An amuse bouche was so amazing. Why not 5 stars? Service was good not great and personally I don't really like tiny tables with sofa seating. read more

I would come back just for the chocolate cake alone. Truly worth all the hype and honestly quite well priced considering how large the portion is (can serve 6) As for the food, the oysters were very fresh and tasty! Bread was sweet and soft! Beef tartare was also very tasty! Of the 3 mains we ordered, the wagyu short rib was by far the best! So tender and the flavors were perfectly balanced. The truffle chicken was much better than expected Overall I think the appetizers were better than the mains but everything was delightful. As for the service, the staff was very nice and friendly but when it came time to ask for something it was difficult to find someone so it did feel as if we had to wait for somebody to walk by. read more

I had lunch at this place recently. Behind the open concept bar, there were ceiling high of collection of the alcohol displayed. The food was quite pricy here (expect $40-60 for lunch) and service was average. Overall, a 3.5-star experience. I ordered the lobster grilled cheese sandwich with Caesar salad, my friend ordered the halibut. The lobster tasted very fresh and was cooked perfectly. The salad was also tasty, although missing some wowing factor. According to my friend, her halibut was overcooked. There wasn't much service provided throught the meal, and the server kinda rushed us to pay the check. Overall, it was a okay place but not somewhere I would have strong intention to keep revisiting, giving there are so many choices in the area. read more

We went to Louix Louis for the viral and famous 30 layer chocolate cake. It was absolutely incredible. It was chocolate cake with mouse filling in the layers and ganache on the outside with gold dust sprinkled on top. The service was nice and accommodating especially because we only wanted to order dessert. It was definitely loud but overall a great experience. It is located at the 31st floor of the St. Regis, which is a beautiful hotel. read more

First time here and I am still full from the meal next day. We knew we over ordered but we always love a variety and will take anything home if we have to. Let me share with you the rundown of what we had: Apps: - King Crab Salad - Foie Gras Crème Brûlée - Dozen Oysters - Lobster Bisque Mains: - Lobster Risotto - Duo of Duck - Filet Mignon Sides: - Champignon de Paris - Pecorino Mashed Potato Dessert: - Strawberry shortcake I absolutely have no complaints about any of the items we had shared among 3 people. It was surprisingly really tasty and perfectly paired with a glass of Riesling. The server started off slow with no knowledge of the wine list when we had asked for white wine recommendations of Riesling or comparable whites that suit our tastes. The server needs to school herself on the beverage list. However the rest of evening was wonderful and all the staff were very attentive and accommodating. The chef made our strawberry shortcake request come true. We loved it and will return for more! Thank you Louix Louis! read more

We reserved half of the LOUIX Louis for approx 50 on Sunday for the tea service on Nov 30, 2025. We worked with an event organizer who was very eager to assist and helpful but it took many corrections to confirm details - nevertheless she was great to work with and I thought all details were ironed out. The servers on the day of the event were also exceptionally kind and accommodating even recognizing the challenge of such a large group. Being the host, I was most interested to impress everyone with such a posh venue and hoped for impeccable food and service. My first disappointment was they tried to have me and my guests leave by 5pm although we had the space until 530PM and at that point we were quickly ushered out for their dinner service. Later, I heard from numerous guests that they did not receive hot water for their tea so did not have the high tea service at all , some did not receive any savoury items on their tea tiers and some had their food and drink removed while still eating. This caused me great disappointment and embarrassment but as it was after the fact, I sent an email to the managers and organizers at the St Regis. I received no response whatsoever. I hoped for so much more at this price point and with the posh reputation of this venue. I am thankful for their staff but somewhere along that way many things fell apart. I spent nearly 9000$ that night and I expected better and feel very let down by the service but mostly the lack of acknowledgement afterwards. read more

Louix Louis is my must go to dining if I celebrate special events. Their service and food are always top notch. However, one down side is they don't change their menu often. This time finally they update their menu. We tried the waygu short ribs and king salmon. Waygu short rib is about 6-7oz, braised over many hours to make it tender. King salmon with lentil is another delicious entrée. Finally we ended up something different for the dessert as well! They have the cheesecake. Louix Louis is definitely worth a try, price point is reasonable since it is located in St Regis hotel. Expect $50-65 per entrée, $25-40 per appetizer. read more

Louix Louis is an experience that you and your friends can skip, but wouldn't recommend against. Though I had a lovely experience, it is just not worth the price tag. Service was incredible; our server was attentive and sweet (the reason I bumped up my rating up one star), but the food was mid, and the view just didn't cut it for me. The dinner came with a complimentary bread + truffle butter combo which was delish. Our table order the crab salad, 1/2 dozen oysters, beef tartare (too buttery) for appetizers. For mains, wagyu short rib, king salmon, and the Mediterranean Sea bass (RECOMMENDED -- love the caviar beurre blanc). The oysters were way overpriced. Drinks were ok. Had the midnight milk punch, and in cadenza. I will say, I see what the hype is for the cake. It's big, beautiful, and delicious too. read more

LOUIX LOUIS - Kings Cake - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

My wife and I were having a baby moon. We were new to the area. We were recommended this place from a friend for dessert and the service was spectacular. We had the King's cake and two of their mocktails. Drinks were vibrant, unique and complimented the cake really well. The dessert is intimidating and tasted great. The highlight was those who served us. Maryam and Eće did a FANTASTIC job in taking care of us and added to our enjoyment of the evening with fun and their delightful smiles. They knew we were exploring other places to eat and went above and beyond - placing a booking at another great establishment a mile away - Lee restaurant. They served us up and we've had a terrific time there as well. They really made our night better. Couldn't ask for anything more. Great service, great place, and great people! Definitely recommend visiting here! read more

Oh my, this place is all over social media! I was very excited to try this place, especially since it is Drake approved. Reservations were pretty easy to make online. My friend and I decided to check out this place for a late lunch. This place is located in the fancy shmancy St. Regis hotel. I expected nothing but perfection and class. Not surprised, we were easily the youngest people there. The hostess & server were very nice and seated us in the middle of their dining area. The interior is absolutely stunning! My chair was basically a couch which was a little difficult to move but super comfortable. The menu: the lunch menu is pretty dry. There aren't many options that jump out. There is the basic fish, burger and steak. I was a little disappointed at the lack of options. I settled for branzino and my friend got a wagyu burger. The food: the food was small portions compared to the hefty price we paid. Again, there was nothing extra ordinary in what we ate. The drinks: expect to pay around $20+ per cocktail. This menu was pretty exciting and my drink tasted fabulous. My friend unfortunately did not share the same experience as the beer he had selected wasn't available. Turns out they only carry mass produced basic beers. Shocking for a fine dining place like this. The dessert: we didn't get any! The famous cake is priced at $37 and we decided it was not worth it. But hey, do it up for the gram, there is no judgement here. I'll likely be back just for the cake! Looked like a meal in itself. Our total came down to $70-$80/person after tax and tip. For lunch, that is a lot. Especially for the food we ate. I wouldn't recommend this for food, definitely come here for a drink, or two. Maybe even get that cake. read more

Went for a work breakfast and the dining room (on the top floor) was somewhat lively already at 8am, which was nice. The service is very courteous, and the restaurant/atmosphere itself is beautiful. The food is good, but may be more than one expects to pay for breakfast, however this is to be expected if you choose the St. Regis for breakfast. The side of potatoes were surprisingly tasty (butter?) and the shakshuka was yummy as well. read more

The good: Service was stellar from start to finish. Very polite and smart. We indicated we were splitting apps, and they pre-emptively split both into separate servings for us. The bread and butter were also tasty. The french fries were the tastiest thing of the evening and cooked perfectly. The good is why they don't have 1*. This place also looks absolutely stunning. The ok: the caesar salad had good flavours but the croutons were not as crispy and fresh as they should be (the in between stage of crisp and stale, which is unacceptable for the supposed caliber of this restaurant). The duck dumpling in the duck dish was also well seasoned. the meh: I cannot believe we got that green wakame salad from Costco in the lobster bisque. The bisque itself was good though a bit too spicy. The duck leg was dry, but the flavour was okay. the bad: dry, over-salted burger. Gritty, yet runny mac and cheese (very impressive -- one of the two alone would already be a failed mac, and they managed to do both). read more
