I ordered a Lemon & Lavender Spritz to start which was super refreshing. We ended up getting a bottle of white wine to share that was also quite good . For food, we shared their Olives & Pickles, Muhammara dip with pita, Warm Halloumi, Crispy Mushrooms, and Lamb Kebab. I loved everything we got. It was all so good, especially the Muhammara. It was creamy and tasted so good. Our server was great too and attentive to our needs. We really enjoyed dining here and definitely hope to come back!

The brunch dishes were good, especially the dips and the pistachio labneh. Had a weird hiccup at the end with the dessert - it tasted so bad, as if the pastry / mascarpone had been left out and the dish was moldy / expired. We all gagged and they offered to refund half of it at first. We were quite surprised but they eventually refunded the whole thing. Bit of a shame as the dessert looked great but we probably got a bad batch.

In between our appetizers and main, they cleaned our table and gave us new plates. Felt nice. Overall, although on the expensive side, we really enjoyed it and my vegan friends had a lot of options, so it was great for them too!

The bread to start was amazing, as was one of the cheeses on the cheese platter, a black truffle one. There are many servers, and you will have great attention the whole time. The pear salad was just ok though. Most of the menu focuses on seafood, so if you don't love seafood, your choices will be limited. Service was very slow, and the drinks, especially, took a very long time come out. They don't rush you, and expect to be here at least 2+ hours (our dinner took almost 3), as you wait, which is more European style.

We had: Foie gras: a very generous portion of liver, and all the accompaniments such as pickled apple, mustard seeds and port gel complemented it very well. I wished there was a bit more bread to even out the richness though Truffle burrata: the first time I had burrata done traditionally without tomatoes and I surprisingly enjoyed it. The mushroom and truffle worked well together and I could tell the truffle shavings were fresh as the aroma was very strong Octopus: the flavours were nice, however I found some parts to be a bit dry, I'm assuming due to the heat of the grill Clams: cooked in garlic and white wine, these were classic but tasty. The clams were very big and plump, but I found a few pieces had lots of sand Halibut: the fish itself was slightly salty but the edamame was a nice sweet contrast Dark chocolate mousse cake: this was very good, for chocolate it wasn't overly sweet and the mousse was soft and creamy I prefer fresh figs to ones that have been marinated but that's a personal preference Each room was like a personal dining room with 3-4 tables. It was a very romantic and intimate setting. However we were stuck with some rude and obnoxious dinner guests so that put a damper on our moods. Additionally for such a nice restaurant, I expected the service to be more professional for fine dining but was disappointed. I would probably be back again when their menu changes

What a lovely Greek restaurant on the Danforth. The decor and ambience was cozy…read more Had the Saganaki, which they flame in front of you. Love that (cuz I'm like a tourist). So good! Had the Melitzanosalata with pita and Avgolemono (which they separated into two bowls for us to share - the staff was very accommodating to all requests). All the apps were very flavourful. The drinks they made were good. For the main, had the chicken Kleftiko which was crispy and light pastry. I thoroughly enjoyed our visit. It was a wonderful Greek restaurant and very authentic (as per my Greek partner). There is a green P parking less than 1/2 a block away so it's easy to get to as well. Fun night on the Danforth :)

Their restaurant is very aesthetically pleasing and love how they have a beautiful setup for their patio seating that's perfect for a private dining event. We went in early on a Sunday early afternoon and was seated immediately. Because we had a large party, we ordered the calamari to start and the meat and seafood platter with a side of rice, salad and Greek fries. The bread they served was very fresh and delicious and the calamari was very good. It was a very good mix of food and perfect for a party of 8. The restaurant filled up quite quickly and many ordered the cheese that was set up in flames (what an experience?!) and the souvlaki meal. This is a restaurant that I wish to return to, especially for a girls day/night out since there's mmmany great spots for photo ops. The servers were very friendly and attentive too!

The grilled calamari was properly cooked and was a nice addition to my meal. The warm spinach salad was PERFECT. Beneath the plentiful Parmesan cheese is an incredible amount of cooked mushrooms.

My friend ordered the Gorgonzola and pear salad - also loved it and finished the whole plate happily! It included what seemed like an entire pear.

We didn't know what to expect, though we were instantly welcomed and shown to a comfortable table and chairs with plenty of room for my uncle's walker, and a server brought us menus and drinks. We enjoyed plenty of tasty food, great service, nice ambiance, and some surprises over the lunch. I was not aware initially that Barista and Chef is a Mediterranean cuisine restaurant. I guess I should have put two and two together when bread came out with hummus instead of butter. My sister ordered a Village Salad with tomatoes, cucumber, red onions, peppers, Kalamata olives, baby arugula, and feta. My aunt ordered an Omelette, where she chose toppings between onions, peppers, mushrooms, and cheese along with a green salad. My uncle and I both ordered Pastrami Sandwiches with pastrami, gouda, dijon, and pickles. I chose a side salad as my side while my uncle chose potato wedges as his. All of the food showed up as very large dishes and very tasty! There are also dinner dishes including both Mediterranean and non-Mediterranean dishes alike. They also learned it was my actual birthday that day, and before we left, they brought us a plate with chocolate dusted ice cream (chocolate and vanilla), chocolate cake, and pears. It was unexpected and a perfect end to the meal. The owner stopped by the table to say hello and check on us, and we received a lot of personalized attention from the server. According to Barista & Chef, they "do not cook, [they] create your emotions!" Their motto is to "introduce to our wonderful customers the Mediterranean flavours of good quality food and great service. We want that everyone to get the full restaurant experience. Barista & Chef is the hot spot where family and friends get together and have great time." You can go to their website (https://baristandchef.ca) and see their menus, make a reservation, see testimonials, and learn more about the restaurant. We look forward to coming back again in the future on another visit.

Wasn't much of a fan of the grilled mahi mahi but it was a very healthy and well-balanced dish. The seafood fettuccine I had was so good though. So creamy with hints of tomato and perfectly fused seafood flavor from the generous amounts of seafood they put in the pasta. Mussels, salmon, and shrimp is what I recall was in there. The food isn't cheap but it's what you'd expect from a hotel restaurant. The place is really spacious; tons of seating. The workers are nothing but friendly as well.
