It's perfect for a proper dinner, or an evening with someone you can actually talk to. The food was consistently good. Beautiful presentation, fresh ingredients, and delicate, well-balanced flavors. A few dishes stood out, not because they were flashy, but because they were thoughtfully executed. Service felt natural and attentive in the best way--present, but never intrusive. If I had to be picky, I'd say it lacked that one unforgettable "wow" moment. But sometimes, I appreciate a place that feels composed, confident, and doesn't try too hard. Somewhere I'd happily return to--perhaps with the right company next time.

I haven't been back to apricot tree in over 10 years and it's actually better than I remember…read more Decor is nice and upgraded since then. Uniquely, they have at least 3 HEPA air filters running and they proudly display their certification on the windows. Service was very friendly albeit a touch slow and forgetful. Food was adequate to slightly above average. Calamari looked like they pre-bought frozen calamari rings. Served with a sriracha creamy sauce and quite confusingly, ketchup. Should be a seafood cocktail sauce. Chicken tarragon crepe was delicious. Duck crepe was decent but the duck pieces were not spread out. Seafood dill was good. For all the crepes, the filling was generous but they cut all the pieces too big. All the crepes would have been better if the ingredients were all cut smaller. Looking around the restaurant, the portion sizes did appear generous. Overall, good experience and we will be back.

They have a limited menu that is too expensive for what you receive. While the waitstaff are pleasant, the manager/maitre'd is a "donkey". The manager is pompous and lacks common sense. He didn't want to seat me at 4:00 pm because he said at 5:00 it will be full. I said I just want a pizza then will leave. That should take 30 minutes. While he gave me a seat in the almost empty restaurant m, he's a jerk. I'll only return because the waitstaff is cool, pizza good and it's in an area I often walk through when downtown. I'm posting their menu it's quite limited. The downside to Figo is it's basically all carbs. It will be a while before I return, but if you go on a Monday night, enjoy the discounted pizza and pasta!

Got there close to 10pm on Saturd. We sat at the bar (because dining table is fully booked). Ordered salmon oshi, hand roll spicy salmon, and flourfless banana chocolate cake, miso cod. I have to say, those sushis are excellent! Flavorful, fresh, balanced sauce, and nice kick! Hand roll sushi is also different, it is wrapped in some sort of sesame rice sheet (?) instead of the typical seaweed sheet and it's somewhat shaped like spring roll (except that the edges are not closed off). making it 'easy' to eat. The black cod paired with sake cream is delish!! We licked the place clean. Dessert is light and not too sweet. Attentive, fast, and friendly services. Happy to find a nice surprise 'gem' to end our night . What a delicious night.

Food looks very delicious. Lots of drinks and food as well. Great options. Got the Bon Bon salmon rice, server was kind to let us know it's a bit spicy and went on to get it anyway. It was not that spicy, kind of forgot that it was spicy as you bite down. Salmon was cooked very well, not overcooked. Also ordered the brussel sprouts which is a favourite in the way it's cooked. So delicious! Yes I will be coming here again !

Determined to have some brunch on mothers day, we found Cafe Bon Bon right around the corner. We were pleasantly surprised to hear upon calling that they would be able to seat us right away! We anticipated a chaotic parking situation being familiar with the usually busy Times Square plaza but was very easy to find parking this morning. Beautiful space with modern decor. Always happy to get a booth! We got the chicken and waffle - tender,juicy chicken that's perfectly crispy on the outside. These were served with soft warm waffles and a side of syrup. We got a nice flat white. The braised beef breakfast sandwich was so tasty and went great with the Bernaise sauce (like a deconstructed eggs Benny). Would have preferred the mixed greens on the outside of the sandwich as a side salad rather than in the sandwich. It was served with a decent portion of thick cut home fries, bonus they add yams in the mix! Our first time trying a soufflé pancake. Came with 3 on the plate (not pictured as we started eating before I could take a photo lol). The texture takes some getting used to as it's almost too soft (batter-like) but they were perfectly sweet accompanied by a nice thick chocolate sauce and SMALL pieces of fruit (the banana had a nice sweet crunchy sugary glaze). Wouldve given 5 stars but but the pancake couldve been served with larger pieces of fruit or atleast way more of it. It became more of a garnish than a topping as the fruit were so so soooooo tiny! Overall will be returning to try their soft shell crab options!!

We asked for halo halo to go along with our check and were seated directly in front of the pay/front counter and it took them 30 minutes. We saw multiple servers assisting each table while other servers stood behind the counter; I don't doubt they meant well; it just seems disorganized to me. There is upstairs seating and reservations optional to make; but from what I saw it didn't seem like they're prepared so why bother making a reservation. Regardless, the portion for 2 was plenty and the unlimited garlic rice is awesome (superrrr Filipino) we didn't need more rice, but it's a nice option. I will say the halo halo was fire; I am not sorry about the long wait it was worth it.

The server was attentive, friendly and knowledgeable about everything on the menu. And when I smelled this delicious smell, she immediately knew it was the pancake and I was hooked! I ordered the sourdough pancake with a side of fruit and the hazelnut syrup on the side. It was delicious! The syrup was beyond tasty and I could drink that on its own if I could. Just wow. Two people at my table got the steak and the rest got the potato pancake which they all raved about and it looked equally as delicious if you're wanting something savoury. I also got the "gut" tea but the drinks I did see looked yummy. This place is doing some great stuff with food and I would come back for brunch again and even try out their dinner menu. For fusion food, the prices are what you'd expect in Toronto in 2026. Look no further if you're looking for a good brunch spot. The only downside is that the table size itself is a bit small but we managed! And they brought out their famous dessert for my friend's birthday making it extra special. I took a couple of bites and let's just say it's definitely worth getting! But I would suggest to share as it's quite big!
