Ploy N.

A super hip, party-forward spot with patio seatings and loud music. Food was decent! I would go for their Benedicts in particular. The Pancakes and Habibi Effect board were alright. Everything was kinda dry in these dishes, not quite refined yet. Their ambience is very fun though and they have lots of alcoholic drinks on offer. Staffs were very friendly as well.

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.

Waffles pancakes wings

Great morning-after meal! The mimosa flight was really good, with a nice variety of flavors. The food took a little while to come out, but it was definitely worth the wait! The vibe was great, and the music was an added plus that made the experience even better. Definitely lived up to the hype!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Aliya S.

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

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.

Down under Benny

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.

Reviews are mixed. Many highlight the lively atmosphere, friendly service, and creative drinks. The food, especially Benedicts and chicken and waffles, is often praised.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a friendly hostess who later seated us at the bar. The atmosphere and overall ambiance of the restaurant were 1000% worth the trip! The vibe was everything I hoped it would be. Of course, I had to try the infamous Bellini, and WOW! The flavors were to die for. I could honestly drink these over and over again! For food, I ordered the Chipotle Chicken Tacos, Tuna Temaki, and Prawn Crunch, and everything was just as satisfying. Between the drinks, the food, and the atmosphere, the experience definitely lived up to the hype.

We were told we would have to wait 5-10 minutes for the window seat we requested. After well over 20 minutes I went to get an update on the table, she ended up saying it was ready only to not get seated at a window table that we specifically asked and were willing to wait the 5-10 extra minutes for. So we waited that extra time just to not get the table we wanted. Not to mention the washroom was disgusting with diarrhea and vomit in the only open stall as the other one was out of service. The restaurant also doesn't really feel family-friendly. It's clearly geared toward couples and young adults, with more of a date night or night out atmosphere than a place you'd want to bring the family. Just something to keep in mind if you are wanting to bring your family.

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.

Not going to lie, we had trouble finding the entrance, even after looking it up online, but it is through the shop in the corner of that block and through a vending machine door. There was already kind of a line waiting in the shop on the side, so we did not order the #8 to get in. It is dimly lit and has good music playing, but the area inside is on the smaller side. 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.

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. Salmon tartare is really good, it is fresh and goes good with the sprout, the pastry biscuits are very flaky and a bit oily I found, it would be better to go with those long flatbread crackers in my pov. 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.
