I've come here for brunch and dinner a handful of times and I'm never disappointed. Ideal spot for weekend brunch since you can stroll down Main Street afterwards and get ice cream at the Firehall to satisfy your cravings. Highly recommend making reservations as it's quite a popular restaurant. When people ask me what I like best, I can honestly say there's not one thing on the menu you can go wrong with. The mushroom toast is vegetarian and one of my go-to choices. If you're feeling sushi, their poke bowl has a great mix and you can always substitute ingredients out if you have any allergies. I'm personally not a fan of bone marrow but my friends who have tried it say it's quite flavourful. I love their spin to dishes - especially the Japanese pancakes as well as fried toast topped with fruit popsicle and cotton candy (you've gotta have a sweet tooth for that one!) If it's your first time visiting I'd recommend going for brunch, and then on your second visit try their dinner menu. I've had their grilled octopus for dinner which was a perfect app to share. read more

We were the first ones to arrive on Friday morning shortly after 11 AM opening. We were greeted and seated quickly, with the option to sit on the patio, dining, or lounge area. I ordered the Okonomiyaki ($18). It came out quickly and super hot. Super delicious and the portion is huge (3 pancakes, two eggs, pieces of bacon). The server checked up on us and made sure to refill our waters. Overall it was a great experience. By the time we left, around 12:30 or so, the dining area was half full and the patio was filling up quickly. If you were planning to go at 1 PM or so, I would recommend making reservations. There is also limited parking right behind the restaurant as well. The only comment that I have is that they do actually offer coffee but it wasn't on their b'lunch menu. I wasn't aware until we finished our food and the server asked if we would like coffee or desserts. My recommendation to the restaurant is to have coffee listed on their menu - I would have definitely gotten one had I known! read more

Delicious food and excellent service! I just want to start off by saying, NextDoor offers such amazing service! Our server was patient and attentive - he made sure everyone was happy and satisfied all throughout our dinner. He even offered to help us take pictures because we were celebrating a birthday there. We started off with fried brussel sprouts, bone marrow and scallops. Out of all the appies i would definitely recommend the bone marrow. After eating all the goodness of the bone marrow, you can do a shot where the vodka shot is poured along the hollow bone and into your mouth. I'm not sure how it tastes, but it seems like a fun way to take a shot! For the main course I had the salmon with puffed rice and it was definitely the best salmon I've had at a restaurant. The fish was cooked about rare/medium rare (kind of like torched salmon sushi) and was perfect for me. The combination of the sauce, seaweed, and rice was just delicious! Near the end of our dinner, a bigger party was coming so they needed our table and wanted to move us to a different table. Our server was extremely apologetic and even offered us a pitcher of sangria on the house. Overall, I had an amazing experience and can't wait to come back for brunch! read more

Went there on a weekend evening for a friend's birthday celebration. The place is not huge and definitely recommend anyone to make reservations, especially for weekends. The overall experience was great! We ordered oysters and bone marrow for appetizers. I got a torched sashimi salmon for myself, but also tried my friends' dishes, including the duck, lamb sirloin, spaghetti squash, and squid, which I thought all tasted pretty good. The salmon portion looked a bit small to me at first, but it was just right given we also shared the appetizers and each had a piece of cake for dessert. The salmon was quite juicy and torched just right. We also brought a bottle of wine and they charged us $15 bottling fee. The only thing was that the place was a bit noisy. It would be difficult to talk if you come with a large group. read more

Ordered 5 things to share. I do have to mention, that it was a busy day, they had reservations and the only tables available to us were on the patio. We were right beside a heat lamp, but it was still a bit chilly that day and as a result, food got cold pretty quick. 1. Roasted Bone Marrow The bread is the part that's going to fill you up on this dish. Split between 3 people, there's only enough of the bone marrow just for tasting. But the taste is on point. 2. Singaporean Chili Crab I'm not a big fan of crab, but the sauce provided lots of flavour. The dish is highly dependent on the sauce and without it,I don't think there's much to the dish. 3. Lamb Sirloin Lamb served medium rare. Thinly sliced. Very flavourful. Probably my favourite dish of the night. Wish I had more of this. 4. Torched Salmon Sashimi you get a few solid cuts of salmon sashimi lighlty torched on the surface. This was probably my second favourite dish of the night. highly recommend to try this. 5. Grilled Octopus the most flavourful things in this dish wasn't even the octopus. it was the mashed potatoes, and the other side, which to me, tasted like pepperoni stick. you know, the ones you get at gas stations. overall. It was a decent meal, but expensive. I expected some of the dishes to hit a lot harder than they did and that left me a bit disappointed. that being said, there is potential. read more

Booked a table of 8 for my dads birthday today, received great friendly service from our server. We were seated quickly, food came out hot, we had oysters, the famous duck wings, beef tartare bone marrow for apps and a variety of mains, many came highly recommended by fellow yelpers:) Loved the fact that everything had a fun Asian twist... the pork and pancakes had a ginger/scallion oil that we see often served with Chinese chicken dishes with a savoury pancake and a pork tenderloin... nice play on chicken and waffles. The beef tartare and bone marrow app tasted like pho which was unexpected but pretty delicious. Wished there was more to go around! They also gave the birthday boy a complimentary dessert of an egg pudding with fresh fruit on a bed of crushed Oreo and sang for him:) we never felt rushed during our dinner and fully enjoyed ourselves and would recommend this restaurant to our friends:) read more

Hot fried chicken was really good. A little spicy. Skin was crispy and meat was tender. Yummy. Torched salmon was good too. Half raw. The wild rice adds a lil crunch for the dish. The bone marrow with beef tartar was interesting but I didn't like the cilantro taste. Too much that it covered the bone marrow flavor and it just taste a lil weird. Service was excellent. Nice atmosphere. read more

I have always been a big fan of having Brunch at Smash Kitchen and when I hear that they're opening a new restaurant, I just had to try it. NextDoor Restaurant is located in the Old Mill on Main Street which gave the restaurant a very rustic atmosphere. For brunch, I had the Shakshuka and my mom had "The Safe Side". Our food came very quickly but that was mainly because it was fairly quiet at noon time. The Shakshuka was very good. You could really taste the freshness in the tomatoes, but it is a bit spicy. However, the entree only comes with two slices and the portion is fairly generous, so I recommend that you pay extra to get an extra slice of toast to accompany the dish. "The Safe Side" is just your typical breakfast combo with eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes and bacon. I personally didn't try much of that entree but my mom did say she enjoyed the mushrooms and tomatoes very much! Overall, I think this is a great addition to Smash Kitchen branch of restaurants. Their rustic food is perfect for any foodies who enjoy trying new restaurants. I highly recommend this place. I look forward to trying new brunch items in the future! read more

Great place with nice food. The atmosphere is lovely and the staff are friendly. The reason I didn't give 5 stars is because I found that some of the food was a bit heavy for my taste but generally everything was really delicious. read more

Restaurant is overhyped IMO. It's a sister restaurant to Smash kitchen but offers different menu. Menu is quite interesting with many unique fusion dishes. Portion is quite small and I'm not a big eater. Food is average; kinda disappointed as I did have high expectations Restaurant is nice and bright; good ambiance; good place to catch up with friends. Restaurant is located on main street Unionville. read more

Came here for a friend's birthday dinner. I had no expectations as I had no idea what cuisine we were having that night. We were a group of 12 and service was good - we all received our orders with no hassle and the server even brought out a cake for my friend after our dinner. Most of my friends enjoyed their food, based on their comments. Everything was very fusion style - western cuts of meats with Asian inspired flavours. To be honest, none of the descriptions for the mains really attracted me too much so I settled for the torched salmon sashimi, and had the bone marrow as an appetizer. The bone marrow was quite good - usually when it's served on its own it tends to get a bit nauseating after a while with that fat content. The seasoned tartare went really well with it. The baguette that came with it was fresh however some of the edges were a bit too well done that I had to cut the burnt parts off. The salmon I think is more of an appetizer than a main - it tastes good but I wasn't feeling completely satiated after my meal. I think it could have been either torched a bit longer to match better with the crispy brown rice or paired with a rice and greens to go more along the poke route. I just think that this dish was lacking some kind of carb, nut, avocado, or something that would make me feel like I don't have to order another dish. I also had the Ramos gin fizz drink - it has a good flavour but a bit too creamy for me. Also got warm really quick because it doesn't have ice, and I like my cocktails cold. I would probably come back and try something else because I did like the ambiance of the place. read more

The waitress was good, but the food was awful. I ordered a 10 oz sirloin steak, medium rare when it came it was medium well. When i finally got what I ordered, it was sliced up, why would you slice up a steak? I did not enjoy it at all, it was a total waste of money which was $29. We then ordered 2 spanish coffees, could not even taste the alcohol in it, was not impressed. The menu was really small, not much on it appealed to me, I would not recommend this place to anyone, will not be going back. read more

They need to bring back the açaí smoothie bowl! Such a refreshing and tasty treat. The Brussels sprouts are always my go-to. Worth a try even if you don't like Brussel sprouts. Their drinks are not worth the $$ and same thing with their mains. I'd stick with appetizers at their place. Update: oops, it's on the brunch menu! Thanks for the clarification read more

We held our reception here for our wedding and booked the fireplace room for us and 35 guests. The location is on historic Unionville Main Street, which has ample choices for photo locations for the married couple and guests. Right from the start of our inquiry, the team of David, Jason and all NextDoor staff were beyond professional and kind. They welcomed all of our questions throughout the process, and always could provide options based on my questions. Communication was very clear throughout the process either through the event flyers they provide or through the contract. The restaurant is kind of split into two sides, with a door in between, so in the fireplace room we were fully private from the other side and patio. The service throughout the night was phenomenal, with the staff being present a perfect amount. We get to the day of our event knowing how great the customer service had been, and were still blown away. The venue itself is beautiful and we didn't feel any need for much extra decoration, just some simple personal touches. But the most important part of any reception is the food and it was phenomenal. Not one bad thing could be said about the food. Our guests were raving that it was the best wedding food they ever had. Every single dietary concern was taken into accommodation and those people still were provided delicious meals to rave about. The cost per head for an event, is extremely reasonable, considering the quality and amount of food each person had. We were also able to bring in a cake for an extra cost that they cut and served for us. NextDoor hosted our perfect microwedding. Thank you for everything! read more

Funky Asian-fusion breakfast fare. Fresh, funky ingredients. Great atmosphere. Our favourite place for brunch in the Unionville area. We've been several times. They do interesting takes on chicken and waffles and huevos rancheros. Our daughter enjoyed matcha pancakes with chocolate mochi. Our son, had a fantastic breakfast bowl. Very good coffee. Attentive, but laid back staff. Make reservations on the weekend! It is always packed. Take a stroll along Main Street or Toogood Pond, nearby, to walk of you full tummy. read more

Had both dinner and brunch here and the latter is much better.

Great decor, inviting atmosphere, tall windows with lots of natural light in the main dining room. Overall a nice dining experience. read more

Went here a few times with big groups, and they were accommodating and made sure to check in with us who had children.

Very busy spot - reservations are a must. Unique menu, a few vegan/vegetarian options too. Great location in Unionville.

Sex and the City style brunch - i.e., a group of women in their sundresses and sunglasses sipping mimosas and eating whatever is trendy these days for brunch. I can't remember what i had and i am sure whatever it was is no longer on their menu anymore. However, if you want to look cool and make sure any acquaintances from kindergarten to university is there to see you, that's probably the place you want to be since everyone you know who is still living anywhere near markham has stepped foot here. If not, they can always find an instagram photo of your squad and the food right? The food is not bad tasting, bland, interesting mixes, and photogentic. The service can be wanting depending on the day and time etc. but is anyone actually here for the food? Nah, they're here to be a part of the trend. read more

Ive been here 3x since theyve opened and everytime its a 5-star experience. Friendly servers, and beautiful venue, with easy parking in an equally lovely neighbourhood. Ive been here for all 3 meals; brunch lunch and dinner and all have been amazing For brunch, I had the lamb shakshuka, and its was very tasty and spicy, which complemented the gamey lamb sausages. For lunch, i had the burger, which was really good. Interesting flavours in the patty, with fresh tasting condements. For dinner, i tried the shashimi bowl, which i was pretty skeptical, but I enjoyed it. I dont think the fish is fresh, but it didnt have to be cuz the sauce complemented the texture of the salmon. The price point is reasonable and the service is great, so of course I will return when im im the area read more

I came here on a Tuesday evening for a somewhat early dinner (5pm), the restaurant was basically empty when we arrived - so was Main St as a whole (I blame the rain). I ordered the Nextdoor Burger priced at $16 with set sides - I'm assuming since I wasn't offered a choice. The side included chips that tasted like Lays branded chips IMO and the salad tasted just fine. The burger itself had a thick juicy patty topped with bacon, caramelized onions, and a slice of Swiss cheese I believe. The burger arrived warm and the waitress was very friendly; she often came around to ask us for our thoughts on the food and also refilled our waters promptly. Overall I had a great experience here, however, the burger tasted mediocre and for the price point....not totally worth it. read more

If you are walking down Main Street, this restaurant is one of your best bets! A nice atmosphere, hip, not fussy and relaxed and I've always had friendly service here. The brussel sprouts are delicious. I get them every time we are here for dinner. Bone marrow has an interesting Asian twist. The tartar was a bit Spicier than expected. Short rib sliders were tasty on soft fresh brioche. The salad nicoise was way more filling than expected with lots of butter fish! One of my favourite spots on Main Street! read more

The holidays are amoung us, so it's time to get together and enjoy one another. As such, the lovely folk at my gym rented a room at NextDoor restaurant, for an evening of food and drink. NextDoor is a very new restaurant along iconic Main Street Unionville Markham. They opened this past summer, with an obvious desire to serve dishes with non-traditional twists. The room that we rented, which included the bar, was large enough to seat approximately 30 of us, with room left over to walk around and mingle. For visualization's sake, there is a second main room in the restaurant, which I would guess can seat at least just as many, maybe more. Since we were such a large group, we had a reduced menu available to us. I chose to start with the duck wings, because... well come on... DUCK wings. I had a bit of a roller coaster of emotions with this dish. At first my anticipation was embarrassingly high, which probably contributed to the slight bit of disappointment when I found that they only serve you two wings. You're not going to All-Stars, so don't expect wings by the pound. The wings are served with kewpie mayo, Japanese barbecue sauce, fried shallots, and red chili peppers. I'd summarize the wings as interesting. Duck is apparently much gamier than chicken, so don't expect succulent meat. Secondly, the flavours were very unique. Not quite something that I was crazy for, but those around me quite enjoyed them. For the main, Nashville Fried Chicken was the easy decision. You'll be served two pieces of fried chicken, atop a bed mash potatoes, corn, and greens, with a spicy brown sauce to top it all. Aside from my minor complaint of not-so-special mashed potatoes, I really enjoyed this dish. The fried chicken is well cooked and crispy, and the corn/greens combo is welcome addition. Things really get adventurous with the spicy brown sauce. I couldn't tell you what the sauce is made with, but it adds a genuine amount of spice to the dish that scoffs at the regular Canadian standards for spicy. Think more Indian food mild spicy. It's not crazy, but you're not left guessing whether you ordered the spicy version or not. (*clap clap*) The meal finished with some strawberry shortcake. Not much to say here. It was nice. The staff are welcoming and sociable, and the food steps a little out of the norm. If you're looking for something new, NextDoor might be your next stop. read more

The brunch is all I can speak for and it is pretty good. I'm boring and both times I went I got the duct confit with pancakes and it was pretty noice. Salty, crispy and sweet, fluffy pancakes!

Found out about this place via a yelp elite event where we ate brunch foods for dinner. The staff were all very professional and proactive. There weren't a ton of people when we went on a Saturday at noon. Good thing the brunch menu wasn't put away yet! I wasn't too hungry at the time so I got the cereal bowl. It had strawberries, raisins, almonds, blueberries, and granola with almond milk on the side. The combo together was amazing! Dude had the okonomiyaki pancake which I recommended and it was superb. It had bacon and two poached eggs on the pancakes! Def would come back again. Food came out hot and interior was clean and roomy! read more

The out door patio is lovely. Service was good and food a bit slow. The oysters were pretty fresh and had a nice crunch to them. Sharing them between 2 people we finished them in 30 secs. Bone marrow with beef tartare was very disappointing. The presentation was pretty, but little to no marrow, the dish was more bread than anything. For entrees we ordered the lamb sirloin and octopus. The flavors and presentation were great! I loved how they incorporated different flavors and ingredients. Made their dishes very unique! And you get what you paid for in terms of portions too. The lamb sirloin was about $25 and it was very filling and had lots of very tender and well seasoned lamb, hummus, cauliflower/veggies. This dish was definitely middle-eastern inspired with flavours of cumin and pomegranate. The octopus was $16 and proportion was smaller. One tentacle on top of some watercress and potato puree. The octopus was tender and juicy and the flavours of the dish were light, fresh and well matched. Although the octopus was smaller, it was the perfect portion for me without getting too full so I would have space for some dessert too. Overall I would definitely come back to try more entrees because the use of flavors were amazing, but the appetizers seemed over price and weren't that great for sharing. We could've done without them. read more

I really enjoyed brunch here on a Saturday morning. we shared the unicorn french toast, shakshuka, and a side of buttermilk pancakes. I throughly enjoyed the toast and shakshuka, but the pancakes I would pass on next time. The toast had a variety of flavors and unique toppings. The shakshuka had a very tasty tomato sauce, and the sourdough bread that came with it was delicious. I had considered ordering another order of just the bread. Additionally, the restaurant itself is quite large and is very nice to sit in on a sunny day. read more

Having mistakenly gone to Smash the first time around thinking it was this place, we made it to NDs just in time for their happy hour from 3-6. We ordered half a dozen of their French kiss oysters , half a dozen of their raspberry pointe oysters, the bone marrow app, ahi tuna app and duck wings. Ambience: cool & hip on the lounge side, 3 words: modern lumberjack chic, plain Jane on the dining Oysters: really fresh and tasty, at 50% they were good value and good eating Duck wings: Omg this tasted like rehydrated jerky. Or something a dog would be given to chew on. Eating this was like trying to gnaw apart driftwood - so dry and overly crispy and definitely overcompensating with too much mayo. Yes we know your trying to hide the butchered duck meat underneath. Really disappointing as the waiter touted this as one of the OGs since this place opened...What ?? Bone marrow: a much needed 180 from the duck wings. Really good! Creative presentation of the beef tartare stuffed in a large piece of bone. The oil that collected in the hollow of the inside of the home was great to dip the bread it and was absolutely succulent. Ahi tuna: $16 for 6 chunks of tuna in a kind or yogurt based sauce. Interesting sure. But not notable. And also, kind of a rip off. Wait what did this taste like again? See I've already forgotten. Final note: I would come back for the oysters and bone marrow and to chill in the lounge read more

Came for Brunch on a Sunday morning. Its always a pleasant feeling hanging out at Main Street Unionville. Next Door has a comfortable setting and their brunch menu is sufficiently diverse without having too many items to choose from. I tried a little of my friends Acai Bowl and that's probably my favourite. Ice cold and refreshing. I might order that next time. I had the Crab on Brioche and it's surprisingly filling for what looked like a small dish. Poached eggs were done very well. Smooth whites and the yolk still runny. Service was really good. Always around to refilling waters and coffees and it wasn't just the one server per table setup, I felt like they were a team helping each other out. Makes for a much more efficient service. Would definitely come back again, especially in the summertime. read more

Another new brunch edition to the Markham area has arrived! Foodies rejoice because the aesthetics and food of this restaurant are very photogenic. If you come on weekends you'll be able to sample their brunch fare. Most offerings range between $14-18 and a sizeable cocktail menu as well. Shakshuka - this dish really has a kick to it so those with a low spice tolerance should probably avoid this. The eggs were softly poached and helped mellow out the heat. I found the sourdough be to a little burnt for my liking but the dish itself was great. Poke bowl - the poke bowl had a mix of salmon, edamame, seaweed salad, tobiko, nori, sesame seeds, avocado and spicy mayo over sushi rice. I think I could have gone without the seaweed salad and the rice was a little hard for my liking. I didnt find this dish to be that spectacular. Service was friendly but a little slow since our server was covering two rooms. When it comes to food trends, Next Door has it all for brunch. Whether you're craving some avocado toast, acai bowls, poke, okonomiyaki or shakshuka they have it all. There's plenty of free parking nearby and you won't have to wait an obnoxiously long time to get seated. Will probably come back to see how their dinner menu is. read more

Came on a Monday morning for their Blunch, I'm very glad that they offer brunch on weekdays too! Ordered the safe side, avocado toast and the white chocolate toast. Love the avocado toast so much! I don't like beet but the beet sauce came in it tastes so good with the sourdough bread! Three dishes were too many for me and my friend so we barely had any room for the white chocolate toast (left it for last since it's sweat). The toast was very crispy and I think it was soaked in maple syrup or something before cooked, so it is very sweet as well. I love sweets so it was good for me but alert for people who doesn't! read more
