Stopped by for brunch at Next Door, located in the heart of Main St. Unionville. The restaurant is unique in a sense where it's situated in the historical Unionville Planing Mill. Was seated in their dinning hall ( the other side is more of a bar) and ordered a brunch tower for two. The tower includes their signature malaysian scrambled eggs, chorizo sausage, bacon, Brussel sprouts, toast with buttermilk pancakes stacked at top of the tower. The tower was beautifully presented and what I love most about the tower is their pancakes. Truly fluffy and light with whipped cream on top of it. Overall, service was efficient and attentive, often checked on and refilling water. On top of that, the restaurant has great decor and parking is provided in the back of the restaurant. Its considered on a slightly higher end for brunch ($20-30 range), but it was truly an amazing experience. They also have daily promos so worth checking out for dinner and late night deals. read more

This is very popular brunch place in Markham - but the options are more limited up here. Came with my parents to see what the hype is about (a few years after the hype has died down, but oh well). I must say that I do understand why people are drawn to the restaurant - it is very pretty and makes for wonderful pictures! This includes the lovely visuals of the food, which is beautifully presented and extremely photogenic. The taste of the food, although quite acceptable, fell just a bit short of its looks. The variety of colours was not matched with a variety of flavours, and everything was somewhat on the salty and greasy side. That being said, we very much enjoyed the potato hash, pancakes, and French toast. The portion sizes also outdid themselves - if you're coming here for brunch, just be prepared for a long nap in the afternoon! Service was excellent: prompt, helpful, and friendly. The interior is fairly spacious and elegantly decorated. Overall, a pleasant experience even if it's not the most spectacular - and perhaps worth a visit for some based on the aesthetics alone. read more

I think I enjoyed their regular menu more than the new Filipino inspired dishes. Everything was presented nicely but were mostly lacking a little bit of that je ne sais quoi to make things extra special. I've definitely had dishes from here that were super amazing before. The ambiance is always nice here. The hostess always super nice. A few times we asked for something and the wait staff forgot but it must've been a long day. Always a great spot to go to get together with friends! Definitely going back but not for this featured menu in particular. read more

Went seeking a restaurant that my mom would love for her birthday that I would also be able to eat at being a vegan and all. They have one vegan main dish on the menu and it is honestly not normally something I would have gone for but it truly knocked my socks off. The "salmon" has the texture of actual salmon it really throws one for a loop when you aren't expecting it. My non-vegan wife even wanted to give it a try it was so convincing! The restaurant is absolutely stunning inside and incredibly large. Very roomy and can accommodate large parties if needed. The staff are very helpful and when I informed them it was my mom's birthday they even brought her out a piece of cake with a sparkler. They are very sweet and helpful, very willing to go above and beyond. Well worth the stop in. read more

Their brunch towers are pretty good even though the prices have gone up. Their pancake flavors are different everyday and the waiter will let you what their flavor of the day is before you place your order. We had here for dinner as well and had their Thursday special. $50 for one main, appetizer and dessert. I would recommend getting the lamb saddle, the sauce that came with it was amazing. I also really enjoyed the pork wonton nachos They have two different dining areas with lots of seats. They also do events and thing like that as well! They have different daily specials everyday so definitely worth checking out! read more

I don't recall coming here before; it's been so long. Finally able to dine out and enjoying an alcoholic beverage after a year on the patio. I have to say, the choices on the menu don't appeal to me as much, but I did enjoy the burger and truffle fries. While my friend had the Okonomiyaki Cheeseburger, which did look delicious. The service was great; they are very attentive. For an outside patio, it isn't as loud, and you can enjoy the breeze while chatting with your friends. read more

I came here for brunch. It was really busy the entire restaurant was filled. Service was good, they constantly filled my coffee and water.

Came here for brunch on Saturday morning with a friend. There were no spots available for reservation through their website but they thankfully had spots available for walk-in! The Parking lot there is quite full most of the time so be prepared to park a little bit further. We ordered their brunch tower for two ($58) and loved that there was lots of variety for sweet and savoury. I loved that there was uniqueness and plenty of food compared to other brunch spots in the area. We even had some leftovers to take home because we were so stuffed after. The outside patio was nice for the summer as you get to take in the quaint unionville main street vibes and the nice weather. The staff were awesome, and helpful as well. Would be back again read more

Really enjoyed our time at NextDoor. The place has a nice, cozy vibe inside and feels relaxed even when it's busy. The patio is also nice (the first time we went) in the summer and you can hear the water from the river. Great spot to hang out with friends or grab a casual meal. The food was solid. Everything came out looking great and tasted just as good. Service was friendly and chill, and we didn't feel rushed at all. Prices felt reasonable for the quality. Would definitely come back and recommend it if you're in GTA. read more

NextDoor is a beautiful little gem right on Main Street Unionville, tucked inside a historic building that instantly gives it charm. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between upscale and cozy modern décor, warm lighting, and a relaxed buzz that makes it great for both date nights and casual dinners with friends. In warmer months, their patio is a real treat, overlooking the historic village vibe. The menu is creative and focuses on shareable plates, which makes dining here fun and social. Dishes are well-presented, full of flavour, and made with thoughtful ingredients. Standouts are their small plates rich bone marrow, crispy duck wings, and fresh seafood options but they also have hearty mains like lamb, chicken, and vegetarian friendly dishes that don't feel like an afterthought. Cocktails are well-crafted, and their wine list has solid choices without being overwhelming. Service is generally attentive and professional, though during busy evenings things can move a little slower, understandable given the popularity of the spot. Prices are mid-to-high range, but the quality and atmosphere justify it, especially if you're celebrating or looking to treat yourself. read more

Always clean, friendly, and easy music (throwback R&B, pop) Came here on a snowy weekday night with my husband and there was only one other table filled - felt like we booked the whole place to ourselves! The special for Tuesday was $12 shareables and half price oysters (raspberry point). We were given menus and waters as soon as we were seated, and within 5min we had someone check in to see if we had questions. We ordered the community burger and spaghetti bolognese, and a starter of the pork sisig bombs. Food arrived hot within 15-20min (when I've come here for brunch before, it can take 15-25min) and we both loved everything. The spaghetti bolognese has two pieces of impressive fried chicken that come with it, the batter is amazing and crunchy. I think the brunch chicken and waffles uses the same, and we've always been a fan of it. Pork sisig had a good balance of flavours and a mix of fat that just melts in the mouth, this was my favourite part of the order. My husband devoured the burger and reports it was great, with a side of fries. Water was refilled as needed and we paid by card with no issue. We will be back again for brunch and dinner in the future! read more

Update: We came by for date night and the ambiance is as good as we were here. Service has always been great and the manager greeted us to make sure everything was on par. Food is as tasty as my wife and I remembered. Will come back to try their new menu for each season. read more

First time dining at this place and went well! Food- We got the soft shell crab and the steak. The soft shell crab came with mussels and shrimp. Cooked well and the flavors blended in perfectly. We got medium for the steak and usually the steak would turn out dry. But they managed to still make it juicy. Service - Very attentive and fast. Interior- Very cozy. Great place for a cozy date spot or dinner with your friends! As for the drinks. I love my drink strong and not watered down so if you're into hard drinks, then this place is for you! read more

NextDoor does brunch right. This was probably one of the most innovative and unique brunch menus I've seen in Toronto. With items like the duck confit pancakes, aburi salmon soba noodles, and okonomiyaki burger, they've really tried to bring a different spin to your meal. And of course, the brunch tower really is a magnificent spread sure to impress your guests. The taste of all the dishes was good and the portions were decent, depending on the dish. The prices are overall pretty high, but for brunch you're typically paying a premium anyways. Every dish will be over $20, but you should be full. The brunch tower ($58/$110) does seem a bit overpriced if you break down each item, since the majority of the tower is potatoes and mushrooms. But you are also paying for the visual experience. We split the 2 person tower (and 1 entree each) with 4 people, and we could barely touch it with how full we were. As for dishes, I especially recommend the shakshuka ($20) which I enjoyed so much. The flavors were amazing and the bread they provide is a great pairing. I was a bit disappointed that they charged me $4 for an additional 2 pieces of bread that I asked for, especially when my dish requires bread as a pairing. They offered to take it off my bill which was appreciated but I paid for it anyways since I did get the bread. read more

Went for dinner here and got the crying steal bowl. It did not disappoint. Flavorful, subtle, unique and visually appealing. I've also been here for brunch and I'm never disappointed. I love the modern decor and interior and big fan of the patio in the summer. Everyone serving is kind and helpful. One of my favorite places to eat. read more

Elegant Space with Exceptional Food ! We have been eating at Next Door and their sister restaurant Smask Kitchen and Bar for years. Since we are only a twenty-minute walk from Unionville Main Street we dine at Next Door every few months. On our last visit, we sampled some favourites and some items from the seasonal menu which changes every few months. The food was perfect and the service impeccable and this is the reason why we keep coming back. read more

It's been a while since I have given a 5 STAR REVIEW! So hello, NextDoor Restaurant!! The Fried Brussels Sprouts were to die for! Order those! The staff went above and beyond to make my visit a memorable experience. So friendly and professional, but not pretentious. Nice. Thank you. I'll admit that I also ordered the Chop Salad as well and it was heavenly. Translated, "I can't think about anything else right now except this amazing salad." It was that good! Great wine pours. I couldn't even think about dessert so you'll have to check out someone else's reviews for those! What a great location. The signage outside left me wondering a minute if I had reached the right location but aside from that, lovely! The interior was obviously designed by a foodie who knows what kind of vibe they want to achieve. Well done. I don't know how long the restaurant has been opened but I would say it's on the newer side. If I were culinary-trained, and had a mission to open a restaurant, it would be something like this. Just exquisite. Don't change a thing! Ciao!! read more

I have bookedmarked this place on the wishlist for a while now and finally decided to give it a try with my family. There were not many people dining here when we arrived. The place only had high seating which was suitable for adults. My son fell on the ground from the chair twice. Overall, the food was served slow but with decent quality for most of the dishes. We tried their duck wing, the brussel sprouts dish, the pork chop, the lamb pie and the cod. Except for the pork chop being too dry, everything else was with more than okay quality. Our favorite dish was the brussel sprouts surprisingly because I usually hate this veggie. They made it sweet and sour with this special honey maple belsamic dressing. It was so refreshing. The lamb pie and the duck wing were not bad but not wowing. The cod was an interesting fusion dish with Thai cuisine influence. The sauce of the fish was coconut curry. Despite the pork chop being dry, I really liked the mashed carrot sauce that came with the pork even given the fact that carrot was my least favorite vegetable. I could hardly taste the unfavorable carrot taste. Amazing sauce. Overall, this restaurant offered decent quality of food with a lot of creativities at reasonable price. I would revisit when I'm in the area. read more

I've been to NextDoor many times, and I love how their menu is constantly changing. We came here for dinner, and they had a variety of specials going on.

Came here with a friend for a late brunch around 1pm on a Friday and it was packed! Would definitely recommend making resos ahead of time. We got the standard brunch tower for 2, which was $58. It was definitely enough food to feed 3 people though! It had a great variety, from blueberry buttermilk pancakes (which we both loved), brussel sprouts, bacon, sausage, eggs, potato hash and shashuka. Everything was honestly delicious, though the eggs and bacon didn't stand out too much. A great option for when you can't decide if you want sweet or savory, or if you want to try various menu items. It was quite a popular option when we went also, so definitely worth a try. Service was great, our waiter came back a few times to refill our drinks and make sure everything was okay. read more

Visited NextDoor Restaurant on a weekday in the morning with my family. The service was great, the brunch tower was delicious! I loved the sauce in the middle. The portion is fairly big I'd say it's enough for 3 people. The salad was delicious, and the burger was well done. We got to choose how well done we wanted our patty (we chose medium rare. However, the biggest letdown was the London fog. I love ordering London fogs at restaurants/cafes but the one i got tasted terrible. It was super bland. I like the foaming at the top but the taste of it was not good. But overall a very nice restaurant. Would visit again but will never order a London fog here again. read more

Place is so good. Honestly I think it's one of the best sit down and chill restaurants in markham. Spacious, comfy to sit in, service is nice and never had problem. Food is the best though, they have a rotating menu and each dish is crafted with intent. Unique and there's a new experience every time. I like how they have a small number of items so that no matter what you order, it's always yummers 8.9 read more

Uptown brunch on a Saturday! Made a reservation here for a Saturday at around 1PM and was seated right on time - nice! The staff are very friendly here and were quite knowledgeable of the menu. The ambiance is nice and the restaurant was packed with diners as well. There are two sides to the restaurant, a dining area and a high top seating area, both near and at the bar. Here are the things we got: Vanilla Latte 4/5 Needed that coffee fix so I got a vanilla latte to start my day. Good choice. It came with a beautiful coffee art and a big red coffee mug. Asked for it to be not too sweet, but was still on the sweeter side. Not a biggie though as it was still delicious. Pancakes with duck confit 3/5 Got this as a recommendation from the server and it was not eh best dish to my liking. I thought the flavours were a bit strange for my palette when combined together. There were lots of flavours going on, the sweetness from the pancakes and sauce (it wasn't syrup), the runny sunny side up egg and the deep fried duck confit. I definitely enjoyed eating each item separately instead of a one biter. Shrimp toast 4.3/5 Not bad! Large shrimps with a crispy toast and egg. One of the better items on the menu for sure! Eel croissant 3/5 Another dish that was good on it's own, but was quite a weird mix for my palette when eaten together. Strong flavours with the eel sauce mixed with the buttery croissant was okay for me. Truffle fries 5/5 This is a must get and super delicious. Super crispy fries with sprinkled with parm and had an amazing dipping sauce. I think it was aioli? Great for sharing with the table and would get this again! Overall, some items were a hit or miss for me. The fusion items were definitely not for me as I didn't like all the different flavours going on. But the staple items like coffee and fries were great! If you're out for an adventurous dining experience, this is the spot for you! read more

I managed to secure a brunch reservation here for my gf and I on labour day. This place had been on my bucket list for awhile because it's notoriously hard to get a res. We arrived on time for our res at 12:15pm and still had to wait about like 10-15 min outside on the deck (gorgeous view btw, with the water mill and pond). But it was funny to see them turning ppl away constantly if they were just coming as walk-ins. The hostess seated us and a server came over to let us know the daily food and drink specials. The brunch tower seemed very intriguing to me but it sounded like A LOT of food and my girlfriend (even though hangry at that point) knew she wasn't gonna be able to help me tackle even half the tower haha. So we settled on duck confit pancakes and huevos rancheros. Ok, so the food comes out and I'm pleasantly surprised with the portion sizes. The plates were quite hefty and you get a good amount of food (which I appreciate cuz I like to eat). The presentation looked fantastic. Literally looked like michelin star plating. The duck had crispy skin, succulent meat (they actually give you a whole duck leg whereas I've been to restos that literally give you the drumstick and that's it). The pancakes were moist and fluffy. The rancheros were packed with goodies. I liked the fact that they actually cooked the tater tots well (crispy on the outside and tender on the inside). A lot of places screw up the potatoes. It also comes with a lot of egg and pulled pork which we really appreciated. To top it all off, we had some fresh mango peach juice to wash it all down. Yum! It's cracking up into expensive territory for brunch for sure (but I've seen way more egregious pricing downtown). I still rate it a 5 star first experience. Great food, great presentation, great service and still ok on the pricing. Probably the best brunch spot in the markham area if you ask me. It tops Alchemy Coffee brunch for me (which is literally in the same neighbourhood). I know they host weddings and special events too and I'm kinda curious. I might inquire about it sometime. read more

We went to NextDoor to start our day in Unionville! What we got: Brunch Tower for 2 with Peaches & Cream Buttermilk Pancakes We made a reservation and we're seated right away. We ordered the brunch tower with the pancakes of the day which were peaches and cream. I say the portions was good but just needed a few more slices of bacon and sausage to meet the price point. Other than that, the brussel sprouts and the potatoes were crispy and crunchy, scrambled eggs weren't dry, the lamb sausages and bacon and shakshuka and the mushrooms were tasty, & the pancakes were light and fluffy. Pretty good! read more

Came here for the well known brunch tower and it did not disappoint! We ordered the tower for 2 along with some truffle fries and everything was delicious and filling for a table of 3. The pancakes were great and I liked that the flavours vary - the flavour of the day when we went was the mango blueberry with coconut cream. The rest of the tower was good, but it is pretty salty if you don't like salty foods, and I wish there was more bread included for the shakshuka. I think we like the truffle fries the best though because it had so much flavour and cheese on it, plus the garlic aioli that came with it was fantastic. Definitely interested in coming back to try the rest of the menu, but brunch was a good place to start. read more
