My fav restaurant for #valentinesday Baked Alaska is still my fav dessert ever, that passionfruit truly elevates the taste profile. I loved the duck confit eggs Benny! It was hearty and flavorful! The eggs were very runny and I used the English muffins and delicious garlic home fries to soak it all up! I'm most pleasantly surprised that we can order from the brunch menu at dinner. I didn't try the AAA steak but I was told that this was absolutely delicious and he wished it was a bigger portion. The rice underneath is a pilaf :) Service was standard. I mean, I don't come here for the service anyway. It's a slightly upscale atmosphere here, no sweatpants please! read more

It's been a minute since we were last here and what we noticed was that the menu looks very different with a name other than Glass Kitchen on it. We were then told that the business will be going through a rebrand with a new name and new menu offerings. For the moment the only thing that has changed is the menu. The exterior and interior is exactly the same. Flavours are very Asian fusion with things like kimchi fried rice and bi bim bap but there are also more mainstream items such as Rigatoni Alfredo with chicken and short rib Benedict. Flavours are still good with decent portions. We were checked on several times so service was good. What was a miss was how the food came out of the kitchen. Food came out sporadically with the last dish a full 10 minutes after the first leaving that person sitting and waiting while everyone else ate. This is still a very popular place. It was almost full for a Monday lunch. read more

Overall, for the prices charged, this restaurant is a bit disappointing. This is mainly due to the fact that the service is not up to what it should be. There were long waits for the food, which for a party of four did not all come together. It was also probably sitting in the kitchen. Some of the food wasn't all that warm.. very little was done to make up for this as well. The food and presentation was overall very good, but just not served properly.. If we were to give the place, another chance we would wanna mention to the servers right at the start the experience we had the last time and to make sure none of these issues were to arise again. The ambiance would've been better if it wasn't so noisy and that's without full tables nearby. Parking in the plaza is very difficult, anď time consuming. read more

A bit tricky to get a large reservation, but if you are flexible then you can make it work. We went for a late brunch, around 1pm. We had excellent service and enjoyed the ambience. I think everyone at the table ordered a different dish and all was enjoyed. I especially liked the shrimp and scallop risotto. They were attentive to allergies. The new seasonal menu was more savory than sweet. read more

First time visiting this restaurant. The restaurant itself was nice and relaxing. I loved the whole atmosphere, very fancy. Our waitress was very nice, friendly and tentative. There were so many food options on their menu, I had such a difficult time deciding what to order. Everything we ordered was so delicious with so much flavor. The matcha latte was very strong and I loved it. read more

Menu change in May 2026! Wild Beast, and many corn flavoured dishes. Downside: no more baked Alaska on their dessert menu! Upside: great Asian fusion flavours in the brunch line up. The music is a bit loud and reminded me of club/lounge music, not a chill jazz relaxing brunch atmosphere. Service was slow and the kitchen even slower. When the hostess sat us at our reserved table, she brought up the 90 minute seating rule. Our food didn't come out until the hour mark, so come prepared for hungry or little ones. The Korean french toast has an amazing crunch on the outside and super moist and soft brioche inside. The four slices looked big but was very easy to demolish. PB & J Hamburger was interesting! That is definitely a brunchy sounding dish and it did not disappoint. It was a delicious, messy, goopy burger with so much flavour. Burrata arugula salad with long thin strips of prosciutto was very light. The fig wedges were sweet and this dish was a great starter without being too heavy. Biscoff Latte is always a pleaser; bit of a strange glassware choice for a hot beverage as it has no handles. read more

Went for brunch and really impressed by the food. Everything was delicious and flavours were great. We got the lobster roll which had three rolls and were substantively filled. Lobster tasted great and bun was good. Really liked this dish. Then we tried the scallop risotto which I have to say is super rich so need to share this dish. The risotto was good and I liked the flavours but scallop was chewy and overcooked. The biscoff pancake came with three pancakes, plenty of biscoff cream, side of berries and a mountain of whipped cream. It was pretty good, too sweet for my liking but worth a try. We also ordered the GK Burger which came with fries. The burger has a nice Smokey flavour and was very tasty but was too pink in the centre for my liking. Ask for well done if you prefer it that way. Fries were crispy and good. For dessert we got the baked Alaska which is enough for two to share I think. It's a nice balance of sweet and tart. Drinks were tasty as well. Iced latte, matcha coconut, sparkling lemonade, and sangria all were great. Also get the scones if you like scones because theirs are a solid 5/5! We felt prices were reasonable for the quality you get. Great brunch vibes and a solid places to gather with friends. Will be back to try more on the menu!! read more

Came back here for the 2nd time, bringing 'newbie' to this place. Ordered: 1. lamb skewer again (as I had yummy experience on first visit). sadly, this time it was not good. meat is bit tough...meat size is SOOO small.. sauce is still unique and good as usual (the highlight). 2. shakshuka. it came with baguette 'cracker' and 2 lamb skewers. it's very sour. we asked for extra cracker ($2 for 3) and it took a while to arrive. my friend who has high tolerance of eating sour (i.e. home country food use lots of lemon and yogurt) cannot even tolerate the sourness/acid. Has stomacache within an hour after we left. 3. lobster linguine. generous lobster . taste wise is nth special. 4. coffee latte (dont know the name). the best item. Total $115. ****raising my eyebrows, considering the food is all meh*** What's mind blowing is the price (not the food). Price and taste ratio - it is not worthed. The only reason my 2 friends pick this place is bc of the ambience and somewhat ok food review (assuming the food is consistent or u happen to pick the good one). So all depends on what you look for. Me personally, I will not come back or introduce/recommend to my circle. read more

We came here for a pre-Mother's Day dinner Our reservation was kept and we were promptly seated with a glorious smile from the host. Right away the young gentleman waiter came and greeted us. The service was outstanding. 5 stars for that. On to the food We ordered 1. Truffle fries 2. Lamb skewers For appetizers 3. Biscoff latte 4. Mocha latte 5. Lemonade For drinks 6. Shrimpand scallops risotto 7. Short rib Benedict 8. Heurvos rancheros For entrees Right away, I should mention the presentation of the food was impeccable And The atmosphere and decor of this place is wonderful and pleasing to the eye. 5 stars for that. The food however was not matching the amazingly pleasing experience. I would take 1 star away for the food quality. 4 stars for the food. It wasn't bad but not over the top in "Wowza" factor Maybe I ordered the wrong items Overall this place is still awesome. And I do recommend to all Yelpers for a visit. read more

. super nice interior for pictures . when we went was practically empty, service was nice . food looks better than it tastes . potatoes were definitely the winner . chicken waffles... chicken wasnt bad but personally the waffles weren't it, maybe up to your taste palette . waffles felt dry and lack of flavour felt like biting into cardboard . truffle fries would be one of the few "order again" plates . carbonara first few bites were amazing! but the taste gets boring/ more ordinary or mediocre after the first few read more

What a delightful, innovative brunch spot. Another restaurant by Chef Keith Pears that showcases his unique fusion talents. Spacious dining room that takes reservations. Definitely get one as the line ups can be long. Service was very friendly and accommodating when we had to send a drink back. We had the following: Jakarta lamb skewers: nice and flavourful. Fried chicken and waffles: Chicken portions were large and quite crispy. The syrup on top was a nice compliment. AAA Steak Crispy Gravy Wavy: a unique dish originating from Hawaii. It was tasty. Galbi cheesesteak: looks good and there seemed to be ample filling. Only I didn't taste the beef as much i hoped i would. On the flip side the bread was incredible and really stole the show. read more

Glass kitchen is the perfect place to catch up on girl time, go out on a date, and generally just have a brunch and yap session. Us girlies decided on this place because of the aesthetics and let me tell you, it. did. not. disappoint . I honestly think glass kitchen deserves a MUCH higher rating, 5/5 for sure!!! Though any place can do a brunch spread, every single element and component and each ingredient is ELAVATED. The potatoes as the side of the eggs bennies, it was crispy and fluffy - light yet hearty. the eggs scramble was the highlight for me! The eggs were FLUFFY and not watery, VERY silky. And their lattes are honestly a big seller for me as a huge coffee girl. I LOVE the creativity. I will 100% come back again. the only downfall for me is the parking of this plaza, it's always packed read more

This place a quite the buzz when it started and so I wanted to come try. Menu items were on the pricey side, but the decor and service reflect this. Inside the decor feels modern and ties well to the term glass. Jakarta Skewers - Lamb skewers with nuts and dashed with peanut sauce and red cabbage puree. Interesting concept, but lamb themselves was under seasoned. It relies on sauce to add flavour, but definitely not enough sauce for the amount of skewers. Nice to try, but wouldn't get again. Fried Chicken and Waffles - Again nice concept, bubble waffles instead of typical waffles and fried chicken. Decent in flavour, but lacking in texture. Bubble waffles were fluffy inside, but not crispy on the outside. Fried chicken was pretty crispy, but parts that were in contact with the bubble waffles sees to have deflated in crispiness. Nice to try. GK Burger - Pretty standard burger and fries. Not sure its worth it for the price. Lots of fries tho. Would not recommend. Overall expensive for its price. Maybe its what we got, but would not come back. read more

Made a lunch renovation for 6 people on a Sunday for 12pm. The restaurant was very busy and we still had to wait about 20-25 minutes before getting seated. The restaurant was very nicely decorated and the staff were very attentive and pleasant. We ordered the following: Smoothie Bowl - Açai with banana, strawberries, passion fruit gel, coconut flakes and granola - very tasty, a little too tart for me but overall very fresh and delicious. 8/10 Jakarta lamb skewers - peanut sauce, almond crust, kombucha red cabbage purèe and pickled jalapeño - tasty but only had 3 small skewers, was a little expensive for what you get. 7.5/10 Ube Pancakes - served with Ube sauce, blueberries and vanilla chantilly - really really good pancakes, this was one of my faves. 9/10 Biscoff Pancakes - same as the Ube pancakes but served with Cookie spread and cookie crumble, really good as well but I would give the edge to the Ube. 8.5/10 Fried chicken and waffles - honey butter fried chicken with sesame waffles with soy scallion and chili maple - really delicious Asian-style take on chicken and waffles. 8.5/10 Citrus espresso fizz - citrus infused espresso drink - felt a little weird at first but was alright after you get used to it but tasted like a citrus carbonated coffee. 7/10 The OG - beef patty, sunny side egg, mushroom gravy and seasonal veggies, this was very delicious and portion size was very good. Mushroom sauce was seasoned very well. 8/10 Cha Siu pork belly - omelette egg (served Hong Kong scrambled egg style), rive and scallions served with two braised pork belly slices - this was very good, rice was flavourful and cha Siu was very soft and tender. 8.5/10 Our table also ordered an iced black coffee. Total spend was about 265$ after tax and tip, which felt fair because our table was really full by the end. Overall I'd recommend Glass kitchen for their Asian style take on wester brunch food! read more

Tried a few items here and overall really enjoyed the experience. We had the beef and cheese sandwich with tater tots and gravy. The tots were perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside and light inside. The gravy had a slight kick and paired nicely with the tender beef and soft bun. Lots of cheese too! It was tasty, but a bit heavy for me, so I couldn't finish it. 4/5. My friend ordered the lobster pasta and cleared the plate, bread and all. Safe to say it was delicious and just the right portion size. For drinks, we tried the Biscoff iced latte and the Ube iced latte. The Biscoff latte was a standout sweet, flavorful, and so good my friend ordered a second. 5/5. The Ube latte was smooth and balanced, not too sweet or bitter, which I really liked. 4.5/5. The cafe itself is smaller than expected but beautifully decorated bright, light, and inviting. Staff were attentive and didn't rush us even close to closing. I'd definitely come back. read more

Glass Kitchen Parking: Parking can be difficult, especially during lunch time on the weekend. Atmosphere: Fancy modern classy interior and space between each table are very tight. Service: Staff service is average at best. Presentation: Every dish looks like a piece of art work. It is one of my most memorizable weekend brunch in recent years (please refer to my photos). Taste: - Lobster eggs benny: Poach egg cook perfectly. It matches perfectly with the lobster claw and English muffin. - Biscoff pancakes: Look more like a piece of art work. The pancake is smooth and puffy. Also, it is not too sweet. - Matcha latte: Look nice but taste average. Overall: This place is beautiful and the food they serve looks more like a piece of art work. read more

I heard great things about Glass Kitchen and finally decided to try it! I came for brunch with a friend on a Sunday and reserved a table a few days before hand. The restaurant is packed and you're seated very closely to the table beside you. I wish there was a bit more space between the tables. I ordered the chicken and waffles - it was decent. The chicken was fried and very flavourful, but the black sesame waffle and green onion flavours were mixing well for me ($24). Service was great and our server was very attentive despite it being so busy. Overall, I would definitely come again to try something else on the menu. Decent pricing, but on the pricier side for brunch. Very aesthetically pleasing inside. Lots of parking in the plaza. read more

The food is nicely presented and very tasty. The taste matched the look. The service was exceptional, worth the visit

Overall, my brunch was delectable and I have no complaints. The chicken Alfredo was not an optimal texture, but I suppose that's what you get for ordering it as an Asian fusion brunch spot. Otherwise, would recommend, especially given the significant lack of cute brunch spots in Markham, Ontario. read more

My friend took me here for brunch on a Saturday afternoon. We showed up a little early, so that we can get away from the very hot weather. A friendly lady greeted and checked our reservation time, then took us to our seat towards the back. The decor was beautiful and had touches of fun- from lighting to the furnitures, it was funky and fun and I loved it. Our waiter arrived soon after and warmly greeted us. Then he brought us the menu and left the table to get some water. As there were so many items on the menu, it took some time for us to decide. Finally, my friend ordered Fried Chicken and Waffles and I ordered Crab Bennies. Plus we ordered one drink to share. Once our orders arrived, we could not wait to eat! We enjoyed our meal, the bennies were cooked just right and there was just the right amount of sauce. The cubed potatoes were crispy and lightly salty, plus the fresh fruits helped to cleanse my palate. My friend also enjoyed her meal- she shared that the chicken pieces were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inisde. Also, the waffles were soft and had cool dark colour! She liked that the sauce came on the side (so that she can customize it to put on a lot or only a little bit). Our drink was refreshing and added a nice caffeine kick to our meal. I look forward to visiting here again when I'm in the area! Make sure to make a reservation in advance, so that you don't have to line up! read more

Very unique Asian fusion dishes! I tried the chicken and waffle and of course no brunch is completed without a warm cup of coffee and eggs benny! Also got the shakshuka which came with a nice crusty bread to soak up the tomato sauce and perfrctly runny egg. Modern decor. Short wait time. Plenty of parking. Friendly service. read more

Came here once before with reservations, the food was great, but make sure you have reservations as it is quite busy for lunch time esp weekends. Second time I came and got a strawberry matcha drink, it was sooo good. The matcha had the right consistency, and thick, foamy and creamy. I got the short ribs Benny and it was good, very rich. The potatoes were a little over fried. All in all good restaurant and vibe. read more

First dining meal of 2026! I was impressed with what we ordered from the lobster rolls to mushroom risotto.

Food was average.. I would say this place feels overhyped. The ube pancakes I was expecting more ube flavour in the pancakes, but it was only a slight flavour from the cream and syrup. The skewers were good and flavourful. Their waffle machine was also broken when we went so we couldn't try their chicken and waffles. The rice bowls were ok, a bit heavy for a brunch dish. Make reservations since the spot is on the smaller side and fills up on the weekend and the place have good vibes. However, if I do want decent brunch food, I will probably head somewhere else read more

Glass kitchen owned by the same chef for Pears restaurant. I was there since jr opened. And haven't been back since. And only for brunch. I haven't had dinner there yet.

If you're on the hunt for a standout brunch experience in the GTA, Glass Kitchen in Markham is a must visit right now! We had to wait to get in because it was so busy, but the wait was absolutely worth it. The interior is beautifully designed, and the service is warm and friendly. We tried their iced matcha strawberry latte, which was super refreshing with the perfect balance of matcha and strawberry. For food, we ordered the Biscoff pancakes and trust me when I say they were delicious! The Biscoff sauce over the soft, fluffy pancakes was just perfection. The presentation made it even more appealing. We also had the short rib Benedict. The ribs were boneless and slow-cooked, topped with rich hollandaise sauce, and it was honestly one of the best takes on eggs Benny I've ever had. The only downside is that they don't take reservations for brunch, which is a bit odd given the current wait times, but when it comes to the food, there was absolutely no room for disappointment. read more

Glass kitchen is a "upscale" asian restaurant showcasing their own take on breakfast and dinner. When you walk in you are greeted by a host, the restaurant is quite spacious but all tables are very close to each other. I've only had their breakfast menu for dine in but I highly recommend checking them out for dinner! standouts were definitely chicken and waffles, lobster rolls, lamb skewers, bennies. I do not recommend their pancakes, all of them lacked. I find their menu to be good but none of the dishes are mind blowing. Dinner, I recommend any steak entree , lobster poutine, tomato mussels, any crazy wavy dish They do take reservations for breakfast and dinner everyday, I really don't think they should take reservations on weekends breakfast because they're so busy should be first come first serve. Overall, 7.2/10 staff is nice spacious restaurant with open windows. Come here if you're looking for an aesthetic spot but don't expect wow factor food. FYI they finally got their liquor license so you can add alcohol to your drinks! their coffee and lattes are pretty good. read more

2 minutes ago New Brunch | CA$50-60 I found Glass Kitchen through a food blogger and I was impressed with the food. So naturally, I had to try it for myself. Went online and made a reservation for lunch for 2 on Saturday, November 1, 2025. I was still waiting on my friend (who showed up about 15 minutes after said reservation - GPS got her lost!) when I was seated. Our server, Mabel, was fantastic and attentive without putting any pressure. Started the table off with some water. Since my friend was late, I ordered an Ube Latte. It was yummy!! Not too sweet with that iconic ube flavour. I learned that they crush the ube in-house (no wonder the ube came through in the latte!) I then ordered freshly baked scones with cranberries (not a fan of cranberries, but the amount was tolerable). The scones were actually so good - warm with just a hint of sweetness. It came with a maple ube whipped butter and fresh fruits. A good starter! My friend did end up arriving and we placed our orders (her - a latte and a short rib eggs benedict; me - char siu grilled pork belly). My dish was beyond delicious! My friend's looked equally tantalizing. Neither of us were able to finish our dishes. But there was still room for dessert - a raspberry lychee baked Alaska. Yummy ! Highly recommend this place. Parking is a beast if you don't get there early to park above ground - you will be going in circles trying to find a spot BUT there is underground parking! Also...reservations are a great idea and should be done. There is a seating time limit but still plenty of time to enjoy a full meal without feeling pressured to inhale your meal and leave. Lots of items to choose from (ube heaven for those of you who know what ube is!) overall, a great restaurant in Markham. read more

I decided to try The Glass Kitchen last month since I was in the area. The restaurant decor was quite nice especially the floor to ceiling windows which provided a lot of natural light. The presentation of the food also did not disappoint, as every dish was beautifully plated. However, while the visual appeal was on point, the flavor didn't quite match up. The food itself was decent but lacked that "wow" factor that would have made the experience more memorable for me. For drinks, I had the KP cold pressed juice, which was refreshing and tasty. I walked in on a weekday afternoon and was seated right away. The staff were welcoming and friendly. Parking is plentiful in the plaza, though it can be a challenge to find a spot during peak hours. read more

Glass kitchen is a beautiful restaurant for a nice brunch on the weekend. My friends and I had a reservation however, there was a huge line up for the waitlist. I would recommend making a reservation to avoid long wait times. The service was really good. They ensured we had everything we needed. I felt a bit rushed but it was probably because they were trying to ensure more people had the chance to eat. Food: - pink cloud matcha: 4/5 stars. I'm not a huge fan of matchas but my friend wanted to try it out. Pretty good but I tasted more strawberry than matcha flavours. - Ube pancake: 4.5/5 stars. So good!!! Nice airy, fluffy, and light pancakes. The Ube butter and sauce were really good. I kinda wish I could taste the Ube a bit more but really good still. Would reco - KalBi dish: 3.5/5 stars. It was ok but it was not your traditional Korean KalBi short rib flavour. It was more beef like texture and taste. It was ok but would not get again. - chicken and waffles: 5/5 stars. The chicken was soo good!! The waffles were also good but I couldn't tell what flavour they were. The chili maple sauce was the best part of the dish! Loved this Would highly recommend this place! read more
