A Hidden Gem with NYC Vibes & Central Perk Charm!…read more Took my bestie to Ravine Cafe today for bunch to celebrate her birthday, and we are still buzzing. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere hit that perfect sweet spot, that classy but cozy, with a definite New York City energy. Think lots natural light with big windows, warm and welcoming lighting, and that effortless "cool" that made us feel like we have stepped into Central Perk. Only things missing is the big orange couch and the oversized coffee mugs. The menu? Bougie without the sting. We both had the eggs Benny, while mine was the Cajun shrimp (unique and flavourful), hers was the classic bacon Benny. They were both beautifully plated, yet surprisingly reasonable for the quality. What really sealed it was the service. Staff was attentive and smiley, but the owner stole the show, came by, chatted for a solid 15 minutes, and shared the restaurant's backstory. Felt like old-school hospitality, not rushed commercially influenced like most of the commercial restaurants in the area. Perfect for a brunch gathering, a date, or just pretending you are in a rom-com. We will for sure be back, and with more friends. Thank you for the great service and amazing food!

We were immediately seated after arriving. The restaurant is medium in size and resembles a fast food establishment. But don't let that turn you off; it's a nice place! Because of the egg theme, the restaurant has a lot of yellow incorporated in their design. Food posters adorn the windows and potted plants hang from wooden rafters. A mural with the words "Brilliant Breakfast" is situated at the back and the place has a sweet vibe overall. Daughter ordered the avocado toast benedict with coho smoked salmon. It's a layer of chunky avocado on an English muffin, topped with 2 poached eggs, pico de Gallo, feta cheese, hollandaise and fresh cilantro. She thought it was absolutely delicious and she loves smoke salmon, so this was a wonderful order for her. Hubs ordered brioche French toast with fruit and a side of maple syrup. He said that he liked it a lot and felt it was better than his usual diner. Lastly, I ordered Peruvian poutine with a mix of sweet potato fries, peppers, onions, tomatoes topped with braised beef barbacoa, green onions and a drizzle of the Southwest sauce. I thought it was ok, but I prefer white potatoes over sweet potatoes but it was ok. Daughter liked it a lot. I was craving poutines and this satisfied it. Service was friendly and quick. Will definitely return when in the area to try other items on the menu.

The portion isn't super large, but it's good for a lightish dinner that is still comforting. Dining in the service was friendly, but very slow and they forgot to put our order through and then forgot an item ordered as well. It's definitely a go to for delivery though or a nice patio meal. The flatbread, sweet potato fries, ravioli were all great. The waffle was very mid.

We were delighted with the tasty food and the good service. Croissant Benedict with scrambled eggs and turkey bacon Merguez Shakshuka Avocado Toast Landwer's Rosalach, half portion with Nutella filling I ordered a Croissant Benedict which usually comes with poached eggs on a butter croissant, avocado, and homemade hollandaise sauce. I ordered the eggs scrambled, avocado on the side, and turkey bacon as an add-on. It was served with crushed potatoes. My sister ordered the Merguez Shakshuka, consisting of beef sausage, cherry tomatoes, roasted onion, and parsley. It was served with two eggs, tahini, side salad, and challah roll. Our family member ordered Avocado Toast consisting of sourdough toast, cherry tomatoes, radish, chili flakes, hard boiled egg, and feta cheese. All of the food was delicious and filling. Though we saved room for dessert where we ordered a half portion of Landwer's Rosalach, which is freshly rolled dough filled with a creamy sweet filling of our choice and baked to order. We ordered a Nutella filling. Yum!!!! The restaurant had fun decor, and the staff were helpful. This location of Cafe Landwer is open daily from 8 AM to 10 PM.

The bar is in the middle and there are tvs hanging from the ceiling. We ordered 3 samosas - jerk chicken, ox tail and curry goat. There's an ox tail gravy to pour on the samosas for additional kick. These samosas were amazing and loaded with meat. Our mains were Ox tail and Grilled beef short rib. Both entrees were served with a side mango salad. The salad was loaded with fruits, raisins, mango vinegar dressing. The grilled beef short rib was the star of the night. Nice grilled char marks and generous portions. There's a little heat from the marinade they use and I really enjoyed the food. My wife had the ox tail the meat was tender and delicious. The portion was also generous and there was plenty of ox tail gravy. Overall, we enjoyed our visit here. The servers are friendly and there's a very relaxed vibe here.

We both ordered a traditional bacon and eggs breakfast which was pleasantly paired with a small house salad! We enjoyed our breakfast, but the price was a high for breakfast and the portion size (very thin bacon, not tasty). I also did not get a refill on my small coffee until we finally got some attention when we asked for the bill. Giving this 3 stars as I might go back but unlikely. Thicker bacon please!

Came here for a super early dinner before our spring concert at the casa loma…read more I ordered the chicken shawarma hummus bowl along with their famous iced tea. The hummus itself was incredibly smooth, creamy, and full of flavor. The freshly baked bread served alongside was another standout as it was soft, pillowy, and perfect for scooping up every last bit of hummus. Unfortunately, the chicken shawarma itself was shopped up into a small pieces and was a little on the dry side. I was also excited to try their famous iced tea after reading the description, but it wasn't quite what I expected. It tasted more like a non alcoholic sangria with lots of fruit than a traditional iced tea. While it was refreshing, I was hoping for a stronger tea flavor, so it ended up being a bit of a letdown. Overall, there were definitely some highlights, especially the hummus and fresh bread. The staff were friendly but service was a little slow even though it wasn't very busy. We were a party of 9 and each dish came out one by one at different times so our kids were already done with their meal before our dishes came out. Portion size was surprisingly generous. It is a great option around the area and I would be open to return to try out other items on their menu.

Some circular sofas were a bit worn though, like they were used at another restaurant and then moved here. They also serve the traditional Turkish breakfast spread too for $37.99 per person, which seems fancy. We ordered the platter for two, which could honestly feed four people. The meat tasted authentic, by which I mean it was simply grilled with little seasoning, no unnecessary sauces. The kebabs were juicy and flavourful too - you could taste the lamb fat that added some richness. Service was okay, not quite attentive but sufficient. The staff just walked away when we tried to stop them for bill, which was surprising. They offer complementary team after the meal, which was thoughtful. Overall it's a nice dining experience if you fancy some Mediterranean glam.
