Wvrst is known as a casual beer-hall-style spot that focuses on artisanal sausages with many different varieties to choose from, including classic and game meats. We visited Wvrst Union Station and tried their sampler sausage platter, which included chorizo, calabrese, bratwurst, Italian, kranjska, and even an elk sausage. The sampler was a great way to try several flavours at once, and all the sausages we tasted were delicious and satisfying. The space has a relaxed and lively atmosphere, similar to a European-style beer hall, and it works well for a quick stop or casual meal inside Union Station. read more

The lunch was OK. On one side, I love all kinds of fermented food and Central European cuisine. So, I'm the perfect target audience for a place like this. On the other, I couldn't even finish my plate, so it tells you something. The options at this place are rather limited. I ordered roasted pork belly (porchetta) with fries. To my liking, the belly was too hard, it had too much fat and 1 million calories. Non-alcoholic beer was just OK, nothing special. The atmosphere was not pleasant either. Benches are hard and inconvenient. - I assume, they draw inspiration from Octoberfest, but that doesn't help. The place is also too dark for my liking. read more

Went to WVRST at Union Station for an office party The sausages and pretzel were good Unfortunately they did not have many sausage options and only duck was available but it tasted good I ordered the pork porchetta main It was flavorful but felt a bit heavy since it was fried and oily Overall it is an average place Nice spot to grab a beer or quick bite especially if you are waiting for a train since it is right inside Union Station read more

I popped into Wvrst for a quick bite before meeting friends for a pub crawl, and it was exactly what I needed. The classic bratwurst with duck fries on the side truly hit the spot. Service was efficient, I was seated at a community table in no time, as it was still early and the place was pretty empty - a party of 5 in a booth and a couple at the end of my community table. A booth might have been more comfortable but it felt a bit excessive to nab one solo. The atmosphere is lively, with music on the louder side, which fits the bar-like vibe. Note to self - next time, don't show up nursing a hangover from the office Christmas party. I didn't partake in drinks this time as I was saving myself for the pub crawl, but if you're in the mood for a brew, they've got an impressive selection of beers on tap. Their menu even features a QR code to help you navigate the extensive draft list. And if beer isn't your thing, they offer bottles, cans, cider, and wine; truly something for everyone. There was a bit of a wait for my meal, courtesy of that party or 5 in the booth ordering right when I arrived, but the food was well worth it. All in all, a great spot for a hearty bite in a buzzing atmosphere. Just remember to bring your earplugs if you're recovering from the night before! read more

I had some time to kill before my train recently, so I figured I'd pop over to Wvrst to grab a quick drink and meal. I sat down at one of the bar seats and immediately ordered a very tasty beer. I also wanted some food but my server didn't offer a menu, so I began to think the setup was like the King Street location (i.e. I would have to get up to order my food). Anyway I finally asked and was given a food menu. I decided to go with the Oktoberfest sausage ("pork + beef + sage (pork casing)") and I got that in the Currywvrst style. It arrived a little while later and was definitely impressively plated, with the tasty-looking sausage sitting on a bed of sauerkraut and flanked by toasty bread and a small jar of curry sauce. Everything's so good. The sausage is excellent and maybe one of the best Oktoberfest sausages I've ever had. The sauerkraut and bread complement it perfectly, while the delectable curry sauce is ideal for dipping. I really enjoyed my meal at Wvrst. I think I'll make it a regular stop when I'm waiting for a train. read more

Revisited a month after before Jays game. Thursday evening around 5:30pm. They were already very busy with after work crowd and was hard to get attention to get menu & order food/drink. This time I tried Wild boar sausage on a bun with sauerkraut & jalapeno. It just tasted like a regular sausage. Nothing spectacular or anything. read more

More like 3.5. Came here during happy hour to try their fondue $34 instead of $44 and sausage sampler $23.75. There is plenty of seating, most of which are on communal long tables. I like how many types of mustards they have at each table for you to try. While everything was tasty, it was also quite salty and heavy. My partner and I left with the feeling that we're glad we tried this spot, but we don't think we'll coming back. If there were more vegetables included to be a bit more balanced, that would be better. At other fondue spots they often include some vegetables like roasted broccoli, tomatos, cauliflower, zucchini, etc. The cheese mix itself was delicious, as was the pretzel. The sausage sampler was fun to try, but I think choosing one that you like is better ultimately. Service was friendly. read more

Have dined at Wvrst many times in the past because of the fun variety of their hotdog meats. While there's been some shrinkage over the years, it's still a good spot if you want to chow down on elevated hotdogs. Went recently and got: - Oktoberfest: great hotdog as usual. - Porchetta Sandwhich: pretty good size, a but too fatty and not roasted crunchy enough for me). - Chips and Dip: chips were overly salty but the french onion dip was one of the best I've had. It's a lively spot especially with the post work and pre game crowds. You used to have to go to a counter to order but now table service is provided. Prices are what prices are these days. Space is benches and booths, which adds to the casual vibe. A good spot if you want a chill meal and fun atmosphere. read more

Second outpost of this resto in Union Station. Reasonable amount of tables. Definitely think of it as more like a 3+ Met my niece there in the middle of the afternoon and we shared some appetizers and beers. Excellent quality food and quite authentic. Happy hour was on so the prices made the bill a lot more reasonable. Trestle tables and some booths. Service was friendly. read more

Surprisingly delicious. A great affordable sit down restaurant in Union station. It also works for a business lunch, except their seating is reminiscent of a beer hall, so you may do well to arrive early or make a reservation to ensure you can get a booth. Pictured is the Porchetta Sandwich ($20) which was very tasty, but a bit hard to eat. It was like there was twenty individual pieces of meat / veggies that kept trying to jump out of my hands! But overall, I still enjoyed it. Wasn't the biggest fan of the salad it came with, but I think that's because all the dressing was on the bottom and I didn't notice until the salad was half done. We also enjoyed the Duck Fat Fries ($7.95), which to be fair, tasted a lot like regular fries to me, but were good. I think the one complaint I had was the service towards the end of the meal. The restaurant had gotten quite busy and there really was no one paying attention to us anymore. read more

Came here last Friday to see a friend off on the train. We stopped here for happy hour. The food was fairly acceptable. We got the duck fat fries and the pretzel. Only thing preventing a higher rating is the service. Even through the place was dead, it took awhile for the servers to help us and they certainly weren't attentive. read more

This is a casual dining spot inside union station. We went before a raptors game, because there aren't many options tbh. Overall I find the food okay, good but not great. We had the jalapeño cheddar pretzel which was okay, and ordered 2 sausages on a bun. The octoberfest wasn't very good but the Kass was good. Also ordered the duck fat fries which were really good but not sure what the duck fat contributed. read more

I am a fan of WURST, having been to the King St. West location fairly regularly. So when I was at the Raptor's game last night, decided to try out the Union Station location. It was not what I had come to expect from the restaurant- delicious and well prepared food as well as great service . My friend and I ordered 2 beers, got mine in a wine glass !!! We ordered our food and it was over cooked and lacked flavour. They forget the duck fries, when we did receive them , they were soggy and hastily prepared. All in all , the experience was exact opposite of the King St location. read more

Walking around Union Station we got intrigued by this open space, well lit restaurant. The focus is on German food like sausages and pretzels.....many varieties to choose from with all kinds of sauces to pick....You can also order beer with your meal. The seating is in long communal benches, so it feels like if you are in the middle of a Beer Garden at Oktoberfest. The sausage was delicious and the sauces were fresh and tangy. A really good option in the area. read more

I am not much of a hot dog person having only eating those in times of dire hunger from road side stands. I have heard about WVRST and decided to try theirs. Had the spicy lamb one on a bun with 2 sides. It's called Merguez. It came with two hot dogs and the sides. Good. Really enjoyed it. I used one of the spicy sauces from the table. Service was timely. It's a nice place right at Union Station. Glad I tried it. read more

Heard about lots and finally got to try! They are known for their different sausages and Game Meats, but I opted for the Schnitzel sandwich which was loaded with toppings and House Curry. I loved the curry sauce, but found that it made the schnitzel and sandwich a bit too soggy. Will definitely try their sausages next time! You order at the front and service was very friendly. Definitely a chill spot to grab lunch or food before a game! read more

Visiting from the US for a work conference and was staying at a nearby hotel. Decided to stop by this location for lunch on a Friday mid-day and was very impressed with the food and service! I ordered the creamy potato salad (small size) and a Bavarian pretzel and OMgoodness!!! This was THE BEST potato salad I have ever had!! It was perfection- and the combination of the potato salad and pretzel were perfect for my lunch. It was so darn good I had to make one more trip back to this location before leaving back home tomorrow so I stopped in for dinner this evening and had the same thing for but added a Kolsh beer and it was perfection yet again. Not crowded, staff were very nice- service top notch. For a visitor, I was very impressed with the service and food--- highly recommend this location and the creamy potato salad and Bavarian pretzel for your meal! read more

Me & my Step Son stopped by for Supper before headed to Scotiabank Arena to watch our 2 teams Montreal vs Toronto play. It is our 2nd time being there as we were there August of 2023 before going to WWE SmackDown at Scotiabank Arena. The food & drinks were very good. Our waitress was extremely nice & provided very good service which I tipped her $10. The Hibiscus Limeade drink was incredible. One of best drinks out there. We were happy with our service & plan on going back again to WVRST read more

I really enjoyed this. Like others say, it's a really unique and inviting space. The staff were friendly. The food was very good: I love game sausage, so the venison was a great treat. The toppings they off are a bit unusual, but in a perfect way: so many 'dog joints are all about the same 3 condiments since the beginning of sandwiches. Sauteed jalapeños on a venison sausage? Sounds perfect. Also the sausages were very nicely spiced, but if you don't like spicy there's plenty that's there for you. And then what a wonderful little bar itself. Since I had to take a late lunch, I was one of only two people dining at that time: most were there to grab a drink either as they waited for a train connection or to really work off some existential dread as they guy across from me seemed to be doing. I honestly would have gone there every day of my trip to Toronto for a conference, but of course I need some variety. I didn't get a chance to try the cocktails but those looked to be quite solid, too. Only one thing: for a train station, it's a bit odd that the food takes the time it does. All the same, I was still in and out with a nice pour and a great lunch in less than an hour, so all good. read more

Not a bad place to get drinks but the food is not great whatsoever. Although offering a good selection of meat they lack a lot of quality in what's actually being served. The schnitzel was incredibly thin and unsatisfying. Also ordered a charcuterie board with my colleagues and we got ONE slice of cheese. That's right, one. The pretzel wasn't bad however. Go for the beer, avoid the food unless it's an aside from the food. read more

Sausage and Beer! I love this Wrvst vs their original location. Right inside Union Station, just so convenient. Best for meeting up before catching Go Train or even before Game Time. Different sausages to pick from the standard to the more exotic protein. Crocodile, Kangaroo or even Vegetarian. Beer selection is always interesting with draft from local breweries for $8 or so. Self Served but the staff here always helpful. Communal seating but they do have some booths and bar seating with TV. Price is high but worth the experience, especially after I went to a game where beers cost $15 ++ read more

They are the wurst... Twice!! I gave them the benefit of the doubt the first time. I got the dirty duck fries and asked for extra crispy fries. I opened the lid as soon as I got it so it could keep the fries crispy. I took one bite after taking a few steps. Completely soggy. Barely even fried. Why waste good duck fat??? Whatever, figured it's a fluke. Or that I ordered something that had too much stuff on it to make it soggy. Vowed to try it next time with just the fries next time and nothing on it Weeks go by. Tried today with just the duck fat fries. Asked for extra crispy. What did I get? Extremely soggy fries. Again!! How?!? Never again. They might have an interesting wine menu but I don't trust anything that kitchen comes out with at this point. What a waste of money and a waste of real estate. They need to hire cook's that know what they're doing... I've NEVER seen fries this soggy before. It's as if they were boiled... Not even the edges were crunchy... Not even the edges... I've hear the chicken across the road fries better... Sad... read more

Stopped by Wvrst Union Station for a quick bite and drink before a show. For 4pm on a Thursday, they already had a decent sized crowd. Lots of tables are reserved ahead of time. We still got a seat on the community shared benches and went up to order our food. I really enjoyed the Oktoberfest sausage with the maple flavor mayonnaise. I was also told the Kangaroo sausage was delicious. Cider and beer selection was cool, but I just stuck with the cider on draft. Overall, for a first drink or quick bite before a show, it was the perfect pre-game spot. read more

If you looking for a german restaurant in toronto, this is one of the good spots because they actually serve german cuisine! Make sure you don't order anything but one of the german beers they have, theyre AWESOME. Their pretzels are one of the best i've ever had! so fresh and delicious. They have a wide variety of hotdogs you can try, and I tried Kangaroo , which was great. The only reason I'm not giving 5 is because I think their sauces could be fresh and better in general. Their mustard was kinda old and the other sauce bottles were old. read more

When it comes to the menu, I give a thumbs up to the drinks, and thumbs down to food. I liked how there were lots of variety of beer to choose from, and they were put in different categories such a light beer, Strong/dark, specialty etc. I ordered Paulaner beer which was fresh. Thankfully. It's a light beer, easy to drink. For food, I was attracted to the sausages. Again, there were different categories for sausages, such as game, traditional, poultry, vegetarian. I decided to go for Bison sausage with blueberry and maple as the first step, and then the curry wvrst as the second step for pairing. I was so excited for this gamed sausage, but what came out was short of my expectation. It was DRY. This sausage costs $9.75. There was nothing else other than a little side of curry to dip the sausage in. I think I will stick with streetmeat from now on. read more

Finally gotten the chance to try this location of WVRST. I came here with a coworker as we wanted something different from all the food court food around our office area (also it was the coworker/good friend's birthday). Anyhow, we got here around 11:30 and I noticed there were a lot of reservations. We found a seat by the order counter and started flipping through the menu. After 20 mins of catching up/deciding on what we want, I looked around and saw all the tables were filled with people. PLUS there was a huge line up by noon time. Glad we came early. After much pondering, we decided to get a calabrese and a turkey chicken with a side of duck fries (with chipotle mayo). The food came out after 15 minutes of wait. I liked the flavour of the turkey and chicken, BUT I did find it leaning towards a bit dry. The calabrese my friend order was wow! And the duck fries is as amazing as the King St location. So overall experience was pretty decent. However, I probably will go back to King St location as that place is bigger. read more

Interesting sausage eatery with unique meats. I got the rabbit sausage on a toasted bun. It was pretty good and flavourful with a slight gamey flavour typical of wild animals. However, at the end of the day, it's probably a bit overpriced for a hotdog. While I appreciate the uncommon meat varieties offered, it's quite a steep price point for a hotdog. I would consider this place a nice spot to try uncommon meats to satiate your curiosity, but not a place I would frequent. read more

Welcome WVRST to the Union Station. I recently visited the new location for team lunch. We made reservation online and got a response end of same the day. We were surprised to see a personalized "reservation" sign with our name on our table; it was a nice. Although WVRST has no table service, a friendly staff explains the menu and order process. Once you order at the counter, you get a number and the staff deliver the food to your table. Indeed this way speed up the service. The place is busy yet the turnover is great. WVRST is famous for the game sausages and dirty fries with duck fat. I had the kangaroo sausage with sweet pepper and sauerkraut; they messed up my sausage toppings but rectified immediately. The sausage had a strong flavour. And don't forget to try their sauces on the table. My group shared the dirty fries which was delicious! They also offer wide choice of beer. And my group enjoyed all their drinks. I would definitely come back for more sausages. They also have a bakery section where you can pick up some snack. read more

Glad that there is a good place to grab a beer in union. It gets packed during peak commute hours but you will probably still find standing room at or around the bar. Same offerings as their King location. Had their kangaroo sausage in a bun and it was well cooked and seasoned. The portion size are a little small. For a 9ish dollar hotdog, you may still be hungry afterwards. read more

Wvrst has a menu comprising of many different unique meats. They have options for the adventurous (elk, venison, crocodile, pheasant, boar, kangaroo), as well as more standard meats (chicken, pork). We got Bison Currywvrst, Kangaroo sausage on a toasted bun, dirty duck fat fries, and the salted maple rosemary ice cream. The bison currywvrst came with bison sausage, tomato curry sauce, and a toasted slice of bread. I really liked the curry sauce; it was tasty, flavorful, and paired really well with the bread. 4/5 For some reason I didn't expect the toasted bun to be a hotdog bun, but I guess it makes sense since it's a sausage! From what I remember you could choose the toppings for the sausage. 3/5 I've read great reviews about the duck fat fries, but honestly they tasted like standard fries to me so I don't understand the hype towards using duck fat. 2.5/5 Overall, I think Wvrst is a great way to try different types of unique meats, but I think making it into a sausage can take away from the texture of the meat itself. I didn't find the bison or kangaroo to taste much different from one another due to this. It would be really cool if they had burger options! As for dessert, the flavour of rosemary was faint so that it did not clash with the salted maple flavour. It was a good level of sweetness (i.e. not overly sweet) which I liked, and I found it to be a good way to end the meal. 4/5 read more

Last night I made my 1st visit to Union Station WVRST; it was for an Event with a social Group I'm a Member of to celebrate another Member's birthday. We ended up with 14 people but fortunately we had a reservation and were seated at 2 tables in the north east corner of the venue. I'd previously been to WVRST's other location on King St. W. near Bathurst St. quite a few times and the layout of this location is almost identical to that one. This one is considerably more accessible and is strategically located in between various transit options in the Station. I ordered a Danger Dog, a large sausage on a toasted fresh bun and I chose onions and warm sauerkraut for my toppings. Everything was delicious, it was quite filling and a pretty good value at $6.50 (+ tax & tip). For my 1st time at either WVRST I didn't order a beer but I think everyone else in my Group did and their selection is quite extensive and varied. They also feature extensive and varied cider and wine selections. As at their other location, you go up to order and pay for your food and they give you a number to take back to your table. You also go up to the bar to order and pay for drinks but several of those in my Group had their drinks delivered to them at our tables. The service appeared to be fairly prompt overall and quite courteous. The venue was quite crowded for awhile after I arrived shortly before 6:30 pm but had thinned out considerably some time before I left shortly after 9. I can confidently recommend the new location as a worthwhile place to visit for food and/or drinks. read more

There are tons of beer options if you are a beer drinker that all flows from the tabs at the long bar. The food is top notch what with duck-fat fries, different varieties of mustard, plus there are different meat and vegetarian options to satisfy all diners needs! The staff here is super friendly and accommodating! They explain all the different ingredients and are ready to answer any questions in a heartbeat. I would highly recommend you check this spot out! read more

I have heard great things about this place and how interesting their menu is and I was very intrigued. During this time, I have not tried the actual location yet and so my first WVRST experience was here. It was busy but efficient at the same time as we ordered on the side and waited with the crow of people. We got it for here but realized after that it was very packed and so we waited to tell the server. The server was really nice as well, she accommodated our order with no problem and I appreciated that. We ate at the food court instead and wow it was really good. The pork sausage was not dry but packed with flavor. The curry fries were AMAZING!! Nothing I have had before and I have no regrets getting it. I have had urges to get just their fries and have done that. Would love to come back again just to get the fries again. read more
