The morning after was more instagramable than anything else in my opinion. The food was a bit mid but the drinks were good. The customer service was really good definitely no complaints there. I think if you're looking for more of an esthetic than really good food this the place. Very nice vibe.

Very cutesy restaurant with great service. The music was a good volume, not too loud for dining. I wasn't a fan of the bacon or turkey bacon, they both tasted a bit salty to me. I would return and order something else!

Steak and egg
Victoria P.

Loved this spot! We had such a good time and the food and liquor were all so good! It was warm outside but it was beautiful sitting on the patio. My favorite might be the cinnamon sugar French toast that came on the platter

Fried Chicken & Waffles
Ashlea M.

My friend and I were staying in the area and stumbled upon this brunch spot. We were able to walk up and put our names on a list as we did not have a reservation. We didn't have to wait long and were seated promptly. I will say it is a trendy spot playing 90's- 2000's music and the space can be small inside. We ended up ordering the French Toast flight and the Chicken and Waffles. I love the French Toast flight as it sampled Banana Nutella, Biscoff, and Strawberry and Mascarpone flavors. I was able to substitute a Pistachio flavor for an extra Biscoff piece. We loved our food and would come back if ever back in Toronto.

Wake & Steak
Rachel C.

I ordered the Wake & Steak from their brunch menu and the flavours weren't anything special. The striploin was overcooked and I couldn't really taste or see the mushrooms that said were part of the dish. Despite this, the food was still OK. What hurt my experience at this brunch spot was actually our server that day. I ordered a regular coffee but she made a snarky comment about how I wasn't ordering their special lattes which I found to be a bit odd. Anyways, if you're expecting to catch up with friends over brunch here, definitely be prepared to try to talk over the loud music.

The guilty conscience. Smoked meat on toasted sourdough topped w/ Gruyère and a fried egg.
Ed S.

Food: ordered a guilty conscience and a b2 benny. The guilty conscience was good and filling. Who's not gonna like a smoked meat, egg and Gruyère sandwich? The b2 benny had a perfectly poached egg, chewy bacon and a difficult to cut slice of cheddar. For a brunch place, the eggs Benedict gotta be on point and this one wasn't. The hot sauce is hot so don't slather it on too thick. Service: leisurely considering the place wasn't crowded. Ambiance: At 10AM, it was too early to listen to millennial club bangers w/ explicit lyrics so maybe give this place a pass if you've got to feed some kids.

Down under Benny
Karen D.

If visiting Toronto and looking for major vibes, this is the place to be. I visited during Caribana weekend. It was packed to capacity and several people were waiting ahead of us to be seated. It didn't help that it was raining so a crowd started to form underneath their outdoor patio. We were seated at our table within 45 minutes. It could have been sooner, but they claimed that they called the phone number we gave them and there was no answer. We did not receive a call by the way. Anyway we were seated and the waitress attended to our table promptly. Service was a bit slow as expected but the food made up for that. I ordered the down under Benedict and a unicorn latte. Aside from the presentation, the unicorn latte didn't really taste of marshmallow flavoring. It wasn't bad, but I was expecting more. Now the Benedict was delicious and filling! Lobster mix paired well with the smoky cheese, paprika, and chives. I'm not a huge fan of home fries, but theirs were so full of flavor. My friends ordered a mimosa flight (Mmmimosa-go-round) which was presented beautifully. The flavor was subtle in the one I tried, but it was good. Overall, great experience at the morning after.

Good music, solid food! The interior was decorated well, seem like a very popular place for brunch.

This is absolutely a place worth coming back to. I stopped into The Morning After Café in downtown Toronto for breakfast and ended up staying a while to get some work done. From the moment I walked in, the vibe felt welcoming and relaxed. When I arrived it was not too busy, but it steadily picked up, and it was clear that people genuinely enjoy being there. I started with the Flying Unicorn, which was creative and delicious. It is a latte-style drink with a shot and Lucky Charms, and it was both fun and surprisingly well balanced. Definitely not just a gimmick. You can tell thought went into the menu. It took me a bit to decide what to eat because everything sounded good, but I landed on the chicken and waffles and it did not disappoint. The food was flavorful, comforting, and beautifully presented. This is elevated comfort food done right. The service and management were first rate. Everyone was attentive and friendly without being overly formal or pretentious. One of the staff members even chatted with me for a few minutes, and it felt more like catching up with a friend than a transactional interaction. That kind of warmth really stands out, especially when you are new in town. The atmosphere was lively and fun, the bathrooms were clean, and the overall concept was executed really well. Their "f*ck hangovers" tagline fits perfectly. This is the kind of place where you can enjoy great food, creative drinks, mimosas, and a relaxed social vibe all in one spot. Great food, great service, great energy. I cannot wait to go back.

The atmosphere of the place is super cute and perfect for brunch vibes. The live dj was picking great music! The service was prompt and friendly. They made sure our glasses were constantly filled. The food was delicious and the portions to price range were good. I wasn't a huge fan of the hot sauce because it wasn't very spicy and had more of a creamy flavor than spicy, but it wasn't bad.

Fried chicken with waffles
Khondker I.

Nice place for breakfast and branch. The chicken was moist and tasty. The service is fast. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. We like their fresh fruit juices. Nice environment. Enjoyed our branch . Love to come back for more.

We stayed right next door and were waiting for the perfect time to visit. Thankfully, we found the time after a long night of drinks and fun at the Blue Jays game! I left with a sweatshirt that says "f*ckhangovers" on the back and a full belly. Megan was amazing! It was a little weird to sit facing another party and not each other, but it wasn't bad!

Gianna Y.

It's always brunch o'clock at the morning after. We enjoyed everything here and the service was amazing. The menu has so many options with quirky names, it's so hard to choose!! They have drinks and cocktails too. Perfect brunch spot! Newest on the menu is the *Stacked in Dubai (Dubai chocolate pancakes) * Hangover Hamburger *ménage a trois (Deep Fried French Toast) *Still Fried (Chicken & waffle) And of course the drinks are so pretty we had to try *Pistachio Latte *Unicorn Latte It's super busy on weekends so be prepared to wait. The only complaint is their parking. All these restaurants have limited street parking. And it's out of the way to go if you don't have a car.

I'm surprised to see less than 4 stars all around. I made a reservation for 2 right at 9pm for late…read morenight happy hour. We were seated immediately and greeted by our waiter. Our food was great and the happy hour prices weren't expensive. The peach bellini is definitely worth the hype! The restaurant was VERY dim to the point where you might've needed your flashlight to read the menu. I loved the music choice. The crowd was mid 30s and younger which I liked. I fit right in!

Initially it was slow service but it picked up shortly. We had several different servers so no single server is tagged here. I will say that it's a hip, nicely equipped restaurant. We decided to do an appie meal. We ordered Sichuan Chicken lettuce wraps ($25.50)..this was the best of the appies. The next was the Crab Dip ($20.75), it was hot but not overly tasty. 3rd was the Hot Chicken Bites with pickles ($16.00). They were ok but not hot in temp enough. The final was the Chili Citrus Calamari ($21.25). This was the worse of the dishes. Simply put, it was cold. The server removed this from our bill. In summary...I wouldn't go out of my way again to go here but given all things being equal, the servers were very good. As a final note...the bathroom was very clean & well maintained.

Either the menu is a mediocre version of the actual menu, and/or the service is dismissive once they learn you're there for the 'licious set. Black + Blue had a $65 dinner menu which is pretty good for the options available. The portions were generous but the service was where things really stood out. We were treated so incredibly well by all the staff. Dawn was our server and she was so lovely! We really felt taken care of. I've never had a restaurant server look at the type of pant I was wearing and change my table napkin to a black one to match my dark pants. Nor do I remember a restaurant heating up the mug a cappuccino comes in to ensure it stays nice and warm. As for food, we were allowed to have some partake in Summerlicious and some not. I had the Summerlicious menu and picked the Wagyu Tartare, Surf and Turf, and Buttercake. Great portions, delicious food. My favourite was the Buttercake. We also had happy hour drinks, oysters, a prime rib, and caesar salad. If I were to recommend something, get the $78 prime rib which is 14 oz, perfectly seasoned, and comes with glazed carrots and the most amazing mashed potatoes I've ever had.

From the vibes to the food, everything was top notch. Tyler took care of our group and made sure that we got an experience rather than just a meal. Upon being seated we got napkins to match our outfits so the white lint didn't get on our black pants , an incredible guava passion fruit cocktail to try and a meat presentation to make sure we all order like pros from here on out. The food was incredible- one our tastebuds won't forget! Our group of 5 started with fresh sushi and sashimi, table side Caesar salad and the softest brioche served with sun-dried tomato butter that was perfect in every way. Main course: Australian wagyu ribeye that we didn't even have to chew plus a strip loin and beef Wellington (which was maybe the only thing I don't need to order again, but still delicious). All the sides were amazing and finally sticky toffee pudding and butter cake to put us in a complete food coma. Wouldn't change a thing about this meal. We cannot thank you enough Tyler (and Toronto!!)!

The drinks are on the expensive side but the drinks are higher quality. The staff was also very nice, they provided phone chargers for us when our phones were about to die.

I've been wanting to try LOUIX LOUIS for the longest time, so when the opportunity came up to visit…read moreduring Summerlicious, I knew I had to finally check it out. Located on the 31st floor of the St. Regis Hotel, the restaurant has an incredible atmosphere. The dining room is absolutely stunning with a classy and luxurious feel, but it still feels comfortable and inviting rather than too formal. We started the evening with cocktails before moving into the Summerlicious menu. I ordered the "I Only Drink When I Smoke," which was a great way to start the night. It had a subtle smoky flavour with a touch of sweetness, and the alcohol was not overpowering at all. It was smooth, easy to sip on, and the perfect drink to enjoy while having conversations. For my Summerlicious menu, I started with the Tartare de Boeuf and Caviar. The filet mignon tartare was fresh and really smooth, with a nice balance of rich and savoury flavours. The toasted bread also gave it a nice crunch and paired really well with the tartare. For the main course, I had the Roasted Chateaubriand Filet. When the plate was served, the meat looked really rare as I saw nothing but red on the meat, but it was incredibly tender, making it easy to cut through. It was full of flavour, and the sauce complemented the steak without being too heavy or salty. The vegetables added a nice balance to the dish, and the creamy mashed potatoes were smooth, and definitely one of my favourite parts of the meal. To finish, I had the Mango Passionfruit Cheesecake. It was creamy without feeling too heavy. Though the fruity flavours from the mango passionfruit were a bit tart and sweet for my palate, it still gave an overall refreshing touch. The crust added a nice texture, and it was the perfect ending to the meal. Beyond the food, what really stood out was the service and pacing of the evening. Each course arrived at the right time, allowing us to enjoy every dish without feeling rushed. The price point is definitely on the higher end, so it is not somewhere I would personally visit for a casual dinner on a regular basis. However, for a special occasion, celebration, or a night where you want to enjoy a beautiful dining experience, I think Louix Louis would be a great choice... and for $75/ person for Summerlicious/ Winterlicious, definitely a great value to sample the chefs' artistry. Overall, it was a memorable evening with an elegant atmosphere, thoughtfully prepared dishes, and great service. I can definitely understand why this spot has become such a popular destination, and I would love to come back again for Winterlicious!

It's $50 business lunch comes with appetizer and lunch, there are a few choices and I chose the Salmon tartare with wagyu beef burger.

Wagyu beef burger cooked perfectly, it's a large portion for a petite girl like me, 9oz, fries is on salty side. Both desserts are good, not too sweet or filling. It's definitely on the pricy end for a lunch, good to come here for celebrations, not an everyday thing.
