I honestly do not know if there is a more perfect place for me to eat, hangout and even drink than the Queen Gypsy in Brampton, Ontario. The name alone "sparked joy" for me and that they have savoury pierogies topped with tender bacon as well as dessert pirogues...!!! Witches balls hung from the ceiling, guitars perched on the walls and they served my tasty mild (thank you for not making it too spicy) Caesar with green olives and salami?! We also had a stunning crispy pork schnitzel. Everything was too delicious not to share and we had to negotiate over the last pierogie. Our server was so sweet, helpful and fun I felt like I had been going there for years. We planned on going skating in the park afterwards but everything was so delicious and fun that the skate rental was closed when we got there but rushing that meal would have been all kinds of wrong. We could have ordered appetizers and a dessert for the Taste of Brampton Festival which, knowing we would have missed out on the skating anyway, I would totally have done if I had a time machine. Regardless, it was the perfect meal and I hope one day I get to go back. This is 100% my kind of place, food and people. No complaints! 5/5 wooden spoons. ~ Suzie The Foodie read more

My experience here with my friends was pretty great! We had a nice dinner and everyone absolutely adored the food. I will say the ambiance was not specifically special but it was decent. read more

We tried their food during one of the summer farmers markets in downtown Brampton where they had a booth selling sandwiches, pastries and breads. The schnitzel sandwich is great. It has a huge piece of thin pork that's not too greasy and comes with loads of sauerkraut or great caramelised onions that add some sweetness, or both. They make their own bread and pastries so everything is nice and fresh. The portion was enough that I was full with half the sandwich and enjoyed the rest later. We also tried a bunch of pastries, the best were the cherry (I think it was) triangle pastry with crystal sugar on it (flaky and still warm, so good) and the cinnamon roll (the right amount of sweet). The croissant had a lot of potential, flaky and buttery (not the typical bread shaped like a croissant that you find in other places), but it was a little under done in the middle so will have to try it again to give it another chance. The other pastries were nice, but not favourites. We enjoyed it and would get food from here again, or maybe try the restaurant some time. read more

This has got to be the best place to order a family meal!! We have been coming to Vera for a few years now and have never been disappointed! Pricing and Portions are on point too! She always goes above and beyond to service her costumers. You will not be hungry after a meal with Vera! The Parkin Crew read more

The food is great here and the owner was super friendly. Got their soups and goulash for takeout which were amazing. Everyone enjoyed their food and it pairs well with wine. The frozen soup can be kept for a while when you need it for emergency or some comfort food. read more

Brampton, and downtown Brampton in particular, really needed this place and I really hope they're around a long time. A great coffee shop/bistro and even bakery as they bake their own goods - including full loaves of artisan bread. Their food is Central/Eastern European based and make their own Goulash, Schnitzel, stuffed peppers etc... They also offer you standard (but good) sandwiches and possibly Paninis. I know many (including myself) complain that Brampton doesn't offer enough locally-run, 'cool', high quality places. So check these guys out and support them - I'm sure you'll enjoy it. On another note: they plan to be open for dinner when they get their liquor license which is apparently a month or two away. Good for me since I'm generally out of the area at work most times they're presently open. read more

My Christmas dinner is ruined because of poor packaging... The food comes in a large portion and they give you paper thin container... i ordered 120$ worth of food and I was so disappointed I almost wanted to cry.. All the sauce for the stuffed cabbage leaked through the paper container and all the beet juice went on the rice the stuffed schnitzel was soggy it was such a mess... my first and last time ever eating at that place... Would not recommend overpriced and poor packaging. read more

Hey Brampton, have you been downtown recently? Well if not, you should because there are some AMAZING businesses popping up down there that you need to check out ASAP. You heard it here first: Queen Gipsy is THE cafe you need to try out. Found this place while walking the street and when I entered I knew it was something special. It's decorated with a a gypsy elegance and a little flair. I liked it. I wasn't able to try their coffee (I was already 2 in that day) but I did have a green tea and a sausage roll. Sausage rolls are my weakness, but then again when I found out that all their baked goods are made fresh and in house, everything became my weakness. I saw their massive sticky buns and their cinnamon bunz and my knees went weak! This is definitely on my food bucketlist for the next time in around - diet be damned! Eatcrest Out! read more

What a find in Downtown Brampton! I met up with a friend on a Tuesday nite to finally check this place out and only wished I had much sooner! I was greeted immediately and was allowed to choose my table. It was a visual adventure with all sorts of nik naks to discover scattered through out the place. Our server was super friendly and informative. I was shocked that she had only been there a few weeks as she was so familiar with the menu and extremely helpful. We ordered hummus to start. Pitas were fresh and hummus silky smooth. We chose 2 entrees to share- perogies and pork schnitzel. Wow. We were informed that all items were made from scratch, in house which was obvious from the tenderness of both dishes. Perogies were perfectly done and although the schnitzel was a bit thicker than I'm used to was incredibly tender. I was so stuffed but couldn't resist the blueberry desert perogies. Totally worth the extra calories! I would recommend this place to everyone and will definately be back! read more

Chef's night off? I really wanted to like this place - absolutely LOVED the atmosphere and the girl working here - but what I ordered was dreadful. Friend's dish (Gypsy Stew) was better, but both came with undercooked rice, a no-no for Asians. (Not sure why people continue to cook rice with anything other than a rice cooker!?! They're not that expensive and it takes the guessing game out of the equation.) I ordered the Goulash and I've had it a couple of other times at Polish/German places, but never at a Serbian restaurant, so maybe it's just "different", but it did not taste good. The Goulash here was really dark, espresso brown in colour and sour. Tbh, it initially tasted 'off' to me. Chunks of beef were half grisly, all overcooked, dry, & tasteless. Barely any sauce, whereas the other goulashes that I have tasted before come with a lighter brown sauce that is basically a gravy. Again, I'm not sure what it's supposed to taste like, but I don't think it's supposed to be sour. Meat for sure is not supposed to taste like that. This much I know. Friend's Gypsy Stew was much better, spicy - be warned, but again, rice that came with it was undercooked. Salads that accompanied both dishes were delightful, especially the coleslaw! No complaints there. Didn't see any baked goods. read more

Queen Gypsy is my favourite restaurant of all time and ive continued to enjoy their take out platters all through covid. Amazing huge schnitzel and the stuffed schnitzel is to die for. The platters are absolutely worth it. Great perogies, cabbage rolls and desserts. read more

Been coming here for years. Seriously AMAZING food every single time plus the owner is so great. My family loves eating here too. The pierogis are to die for, especially the side of beets. The schnitzel, the cornbread, the cinnamon buns, everything is amazing!!! If you haven't tried Queen Gypsy yet, PLEASE give it a try. You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. read more

We've recently "discovered" this restaurant and have come in for dinner a couple of times. The schnitzel is tasty and my hubby enjoyed the cabbage rolls and the stuffed peppers (these were very good IMO). The restaurant has a limited menu so we would only come in every couple of months. It's a small restaurant, I would suggest reservations or checking with them to see if they have availability. The first time we came they were turning people away throughout our meal, the second time it wasn't busy. Both visits were on Friday evening. read more

I'd be lying if I said I didn't find this place in a drunken stupor but that does not take any value out of the following review! Downtown Brampton has something that is cool and original. I didn't know if I would ever say that. The décor is amazing. The whole concept seemed so fresh and modern and yet inviting; I can't say enough good things. The service was really friendly. The food is almost unreasonably inexpensive. And the offerings are different enough that I want to try everything on the menu. How bold is it to serve beets with so many menu items? Bold but awesome because beets are dope. Even as I'm writing this review I am mad at myself for not coming here since the last time I came here. GO NOW. Support this place Brampton. Seriously. read more

This restaurant is something different from the everyday place. It's influenced by Eastern European food and everything is made from scratch. On a Thursday evening it wasn't very busy. It's very close to Rose Theatre so it was a great place to grab a bite before going to the theatre. I tried the goulash and my friend had the perogies. The goulash plate was very filling and is a lot of food. It was tasty and I enjoyed it. The menu description could have been better. The plate comes with beet salad coleslaw and cornbread. I am not a fan of cornbread and I hate beets. I would have preferred more coleslaw instead. The cornbread was a bit dry in my opinion.... But I am also not an expert. I would recommend this place. Especially if you feel for a good home cooked type of meal. read more

The most horrible service ever, one woman to serve all the tables. She is unable to effectively serve this many people efficiently on her own. At one point I looked around and saw all these people needing another drink, but she had no clue as she was now serving food. Cold bruschetta bread, no taste pies that we're frozen. Not true polish progies like the serve at the polish church absolutely horrible service , it's a one woman show and she needs to get helpful servers. We could of had two more glasses of wine if she would of made to our table to ask read more

What a great experience! We were trying to figure out what the options were for Taste of Brampton and Queen Gypsy's looked like the best deal - one appetizer or small salad, one main and dessert for 20.00. We called about 20 minutes before heading there and the woman that answered was super helpful answering questions about vegetarian options and she reserved her last empty table of two for us. They were easy to find right near Brampton city hall but the parking can be a bit tricky on a busy Friday night. The restaurant is small but really cute inside. Gypsy chic we will call it! The menu has a nice array of options (mostly meat driven but that's to be expected) and it's not too big which I actually like because in most circumstances that means they do what they do well. For my appetizer I got the roasted red peppers, main - eggplant and zucchini panini, dessert - blueberry perogies. The roasted red peppers were amazing! I have never had something like that before. They are skinned, seasoned and in oil and vinegar, they were perfectly tender, I need to do this at home. The sandwich was super delicious - I got it without cheese (which would probably make it even more amazing lol). The bread was super crunchy and the veggies were perfectly cooked inside. The panini came with beets and slaw both were really good. The dessert Omg, I would say maybe it was so good because it was cheating on the no dairy (btw I am failing at least once a week at this lol) but these were spectacular!!! They were kind of chewy (in a good way) not overly sweet, the sweet came from the custard they sat in. My boyfriend got the Bruschetta which was done with roasted peppers as well and feta, the bread looked great and super crunchy. He confirmed that it was delicious and I could tell by how quick they went! For his main the gypsy stew which came with rice, corn bread, slaw and beets. He ate the whole thing and confirmed it was great, he also got the blueberry perogies and feels the same as me! This experience reminded me of what it would be like to go to a Serbian friends house and having an amazing home cooked meal. Seriously that sounds awesome? Highly recommend. read more

Amazing atmosphere, great food (omg the pierogies!), and the owners come by personally to make sure you are well taken care of.

I did what I normally do and make decisions based off reviews. This place was delicious and hand crafted. Everything was fresh and the service was very personable! I had the perogies and gypsy stew, I'd highly recommend both! The perogies were so soft and rich, just melting in your mouth. The stew was extremely flavorful and filling. I wish I had a place like this in Baltimore. read more

I knew it was going to be a good night when I entered this little cafe/bistro/best place in Brampton! I encourage anyone and everyone to skip The Works and all of the other more popular places in downtown Brampton and try Queen Gypsy! Why, you ask? Well, to start with the staff are amazing, friendly and very personal, the owner stopped at our table throughout the night to chat with us, offered some secret menu options..pst. Blueberry pierogis are a thing and you can find them here! I ordered the goulash, a corona and my girlfriends and I shared a plate of their pierogis... The cafe itself is so sweet, full of DIY art and decor, when the food comes it is just like you're at home or a friends house, I swear I almost said "thanks Mom", when the waitress brought my dinner; it is THAT comfortable. Anyways, back to the food, this is heaven on a plate, we were all "mmmmm" and "yummmm" throughout the night. The pierogis are great, they are so different; smothered in alfredo and filled with cheese, deepfried on both sides, delicious! The goulash is so homemade it will make you smile as soon as you put the fork in your mouth, it is a rich stew with beef and carrots served on a bed of rice, with a side of salad and cornbread. I am beyond grateful for the hospitality of Queen Gypsy, this is just the place to be when in Brampton! All of this and the bill cost under twenty dollars for each of us! Woo hoo! Just a friendly tip: It is a small area, I am not sure how many tables are in the place or if they can accommodate large groups. read more

Looking for a Slavic place, I decided to search online and found this amazing Serbian restaurant. There are many amazing dishes here. I would especially recommend the Goulash and the cabbage rolls. The owner and the assistants are really friendly people, and the atmosphere is interesting. 5/5 rating, come to this place, you will not be disappointed. read more

Although they've been operating at the farmers market for some time, this is a new business to the downtown core. As a residence of the area, my wife and I make frequent walks downtown and enjoy seeing new and trendy businesses opening their doors. For the few times we've been there already, the owners and staff have been friendly and helpful. The coffee is better than the other 2 coffee shops around the corner and the cinnamon buns are delicious. I would definitely recommend the Queen Gypsy to others as this is my new downtown cafe of choice. read more

Its three for three great meals on my visits to the restaurant! It has to be the most unique restaurant I have ever visited in Brampton from its decor. Very friendly environment as the owner and staff make you feel like you are visiting a friend's home. Their twists on Central European dishes brings something different to the cuisine. Definitely more like comfort food. If the Apple Stoodle is there, DO NOT LEAVE WITHOUT EATING DESERT! read more

A must see/try if you are in the Brampton downtown area. Homemade delicious food. Friendly staff. And a cozy decor. Since the new year they have upgraded the seating area and now have a liquor license! I've had just about everything on the menu and its all very good. I do recommend trying the pierogi's the first time. If you aren't into pierogi's you can't go wrong with the other items on the menu. read more

I love the home-made style food, the warmth of the owner, and the charming atmosphere. I would have given this five stars because of how comfy and delightful it is, but the service has been quite slow both times I visited. I will definitely be back, but not when I am in a big hurry. read more

Queen Gypsy - Modern European Near Me - Brampton, Ontario

Another great experience at the coziest restaurant in Brampton. Apart from the convenient location, ( indoor parking at city hall on a snowy evening) this is a warm and welcoming space with big servings of delicious soul food with an Eastern European twist. I could not resist the Gypsy stew again. It was just as good as I remembered. At $12 with all the fixings, cornbread, coleslaw salad, beets, cheese and very tasty, it's a great bargain, eye catching and very colourful. I asked for hot sauce, it happens that they make their own! It was very tasty. Found out after on the website that they sell hot sauce! Would have bought one if I knew. My dinner mate had the pirogies. They were $10 with all the fixings. I tried one. It just melts in your mouth. Definitely a must try! Very delicious. We shared a blueberry pirogi plate for dessert. Delicious, not too sweet and the sauce it comes with is subtly cheesy. The drink choices are perfect, wines and beer. We went for the non alcoholic grapefruit and orange sodas which went down quickly. Some perfect looking breads were put out in the bar for sale about halfway through dinner. Braided egg bread, Chelsea buns, current rolls. Some tables before us had left with loaves of bread. The service was warm and welcoming. The atmosphere is easy going and relaxed. The decor is bohemian ranch, which I personally love. There is a bar with 5 or 6 chairs, pub tables and 2 tables for 2. I was privileged to get one of the tables for 2. This restaurant is tiny, but definitely makes the most of the space. Ticks all the boxes for a great evening out in Brampton. This was my friend's first time here and she will be back soon and spread the word. How could this little treasure be so unknown by the masses? Hope I can still get a table when this gets out! read more

Small and intimate restaurant in downtown Brampton. Bruschetta for $9 had four pieces on a plate.....overpriced and so-so. Pork schnitzel with sauerkraut and onions and coleslaw with pita bread slices for $12 was decent (breading seperated from meat). Perogies dish with coleslaw and pita bread was $10 and tasty. Gypsy stew was really good for $12. Notice anything? No cornbread as per the menu.....pita bread instead...... Explanation was that they only make one loaf of cornbread per day to serve all customers....then they serve pita bread until close. Asked for baklava on dessert menu.....didnt have it. Alcohol prices are very high....guess this is where they make up for cheaper main dish prices. Service is excellent from one server for the whole restaurant..... Always checking in and making guests feel comfortable. Would recommend as a quick dinner and drinks but not as a repeat restaurant.....there were many regulars on a friday night when we went there and they seemed to have a great time. Atmosphere is excellent....wall decorations, music, and 3 tvs with CP24 showing. read more

Great atmosphere. Fun cozy down to earth, feel like your on a holiday type place. Great for after work drink and more. The owner is supper friendly and knows regular customers by name. She went out if her way to look into something for me that was none business related. I ordered two meals to go...cabbage rolls and a stew. Both were tasty. This was my first visit..I'll be going back to dine in. Can't wait to try the progies:) read more

Love this place since the first time I came!! Their Pieroges are sooooo yummy and cheesy! Also the Bruschetta is awesome highly reccomend this restaurant!! Next time you are in Downtown Brampton try this place out!! Amazing service too!!!! Love the owners!!!! read more

Small but very nice what really matters is the food. And it will not disappoint you very good home made style food.

This place is an absolute gem! Growing up in the hospitality industry has made me a real "foodie" over the years, and this place is in my top 3 for Brampton for sure! I've been to the Queen Gypsy multiple times now and I have always had a great experience- never a let down. The food was hearty, tasty and comes in good portions. I really like the theme and decor of the place, and the service was awesome! I'd recommend it to anyone looking for good food reasonably priced food in the Brampton and surrounding areas, worth the drive! I'll definitely be back again. read more

I'm not impress with the two owners! They are always rude and abrupt and not helpful! I always feel like I'm a big bother when ordering or asking a question! On top of that they stopped serving panini which is amazingly good! They need to seriously work on their customer service skills and actually put on a smile! Not impressed and never coming back! Oh and I've been here at least 6 times and it's always been the same! Just rude!!!! read more
