    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

    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

    Fried Chicken & Waffles

    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.

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

    Wake & Steak

    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 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.

    The guilty conscience. Smoked meat on toasted sourdough topped w/ Gruyère and a fried egg.
    Ed S.

    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.

    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.

    Place is bomb!!!!! Lots of different unique breakfast dishes. Service was super friendly and fast! Super cute inside, clean and refreshing. Amazing outdoor patio! We got the avacado toast, chicken and waffles, and strawberry pancakes, all were delicious! We are so coming back!

    It's always brunch o'clock at the morning after. We enjoyed everything here and the service was amazing. The menu has so many options with quirky names, it's so hard to choose!! They have drinks and cocktails too. Perfect brunch spot! Newest on the menu is the *Stacked in Dubai (Dubai chocolate pancakes) * Hangover Hamburger *ménage a trois (Deep Fried French Toast) *Still Fried (Chicken & waffle) And of course the drinks are so pretty we had to try *Pistachio Latte *Unicorn Latte It's super busy on weekends so be prepared to wait. The only complaint is their parking. All these restaurants have limited street parking. And it's out of the way to go if you don't have a car.

    Chose The Morning After for brunch because it was near where I was staying and it ended up being amazing. The atmosphere and music was lively and the drinks were incredible. My boyfriend had the Ceasar (not pictured) and said it was the best bloody mary he's ever had. The food was well seasoned and it hit the spot for sure. We also loved the homemade hot sauce. It was a great experience with great vibes.

    We looked for a brunch spot with a dj that would remind us of home. This cute little spot had all the aesthics and the dj. We were sat right away which is good because the later it got the more people showed up and they had to wait. The bartender was really nice and accommodated us the entire time. Didn't get his name but we can call him mr blue eyes. He gave drink recommendations and as busy as he was he was still good. All the platters were good. The eggs and potatoes were good. The bacon was chewy. My sis got chicken and waffles.. the chicken was chewy and the waffle was alright. They should think going with tenders or wings. The pancake was thick as ever but sooo good. Drinks wete okay. The need less juice but more alcohol. Definitely a spot with a good vibe though

    I'm surprised to see less than 4 stars all around. I made a reservation for 2 right at 9pm for late…read morenight happy hour. We were seated immediately and greeted by our waiter. Our food was great and the happy hour prices weren't expensive. The peach bellini is definitely worth the hype! The restaurant was VERY dim to the point where you might've needed your flashlight to read the menu. I loved the music choice. The crowd was mid 30s and younger which I liked. I fit right in!

    July 8/2026: Dinner after the theatre with my Al!…read more There was a bit of a wait before we landed a table at the upstairs bar. The place SEEMED quiet but shortly thereafter the place got JAMMED! Initially it was slow service but it picked up shortly. We had several different servers so no single server is tagged here. I will say that it's a hip, nicely equipped restaurant. We decided to do an appie meal. We ordered Sichuan Chicken lettuce wraps ($25.50)..this was the best of the appies. The next was the Crab Dip ($20.75), it was hot but not overly tasty. 3rd was the Hot Chicken Bites with pickles ($16.00). They were ok but not hot in temp enough. The final was the Chili Citrus Calamari ($21.25). This was the worse of the dishes. Simply put, it was cold. The server removed this from our bill. In summary...I wouldn't go out of my way again to go here but given all things being equal, the servers were very good. As a final note...the bathroom was very clean & well maintained.

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.

    Found this cocktail bar through a friend and immediately made a reservation after seeing the menu…read more The ingredients are complex but intentional, with East Asian influences. I found myself wanting to try most of the cocktails, which is a rarity. We got the Strawberry Tetsu to start (inspired by Uncle Tetsu's Japanese cheesecake), along with the Cloudy Oolong (tea-based cocktail with a salted caramel cheese foam). The Strawberry Tetsu tasted like a dessert and was delicious, with a graham cracker crumble rim. The Cloudy Oolong had a strong tea taste which I loved, as sometimes the tea can get lost in a cocktail. The foam on top was addicting and paired nicely with it, similar to a bubble tea. Next, I had the Burnt Yuzu which was light and refreshing from the citrus. The bar is hidden behind Misfit Ice Cream, with a speakeasy vibe to the interior. Large windows line one wall with a view to the exterior, but are tinted enough that people walking by cannot see in. Service was great, although they do have a strict 1 hr 45 min time limit for seating, regardless of whether the bar is packed or not.

We walked up to an unassuming entrance that is part of the experience, and once inside, the atmosphere shifts completely. The space is intimate and cozy with dim lighting, comfortable seating, and a relaxed speakeasy vibe that makes it easy to settle in for a couple of drinks. The transition from the street to the interior feels deliberate, and the low-key energy of the room encourages lingering. The cocktail menu leans heavily into Asian-inspired flavors, and that is what makes it stand out. Every drink feels thoughtfully developed rather than relying on presentation alone. We tried the Cloudy Oolong, which was especially memorable with its rich tea flavor and creamy cheese foam that added a savory depth to the cocktail. The Strawberry Tetsu offered a dessert-like profile without becoming overly sweet, balancing fruit and tea notes in a way that felt refined and well composed. Each cocktail arrived beautifully presented and balanced, making it easy to appreciate the amount of care that goes into every glass. The menu is creative without being gimmicky, and the flavors are well integrated, with each drink offering something distinct. The staff were welcoming and happy to explain the menu or offer recommendations if you are unsure what to order. They guided us through the flavor profiles and offered thoughtful suggestions based on our preferences. Service felt attentive without being overbearing, and the overall pace made it a great place to relax rather than rush through a drink. The team checked in at the right moments and kept the experience feeling personal and unhurried. If you are looking for a cocktail bar that offers something different from the usual classics, After Seven delivers a memorable experience. Between the hidden entrance, intimate setting, and creative drinks, it is the kind of place that is easy to recommend whether you are celebrating a special occasion or simply looking for one of Toronto's more unique bars. The balance of atmosphere, craftsmanship, and service makes it a standout in the city's cocktail scene.

    I've been wanting to try LOUIX LOUIS for the longest time, so when the opportunity came up to visit…read moreduring Summerlicious, I knew I had to finally check it out. 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!

    Perched high above the bustle of downtown Toronto, LOUIX LOUIS makes a compelling first impression…read more The dining room is genuinely handsome -- a study in polished Art Deco glamour softened by sweeping city views that lend every table a sense of occasion. On a Valentine's Day brunch visit, the atmosphere alone was enough to justify the reservation. The kitchen demonstrates genuine competence: dishes arrive with care, the pacing is unhurried, and the mise en scène -- from tableside presentation to that now-famous thirteen-layer chocolate cake -- reveals an establishment that understands the theatre of fine dining. That towering slice of chocolate cake, in particular, is a masterstroke of marketing and pastry craft in equal measure; it draws the eye, earns its reputation, and very nearly steals the show. Where LOUIX LOUIS gives one pause is in the cuisine's ability to fully match its surroundings. The cooking is accomplished and reliably pleasant, yet seldom rises to the level of genuine distinction one might hope for at this price point. Dishes satisfy without surprising; technique is evident but inspiration, at moments, feels held in reserve. For the corporate traveller or the visitor seeking a polished, geographically convenient showcase of the city's skyline, this represents an entirely sound choice. For those seeking an experience whose flavours linger as long as the view, the kitchen has room yet to grow into its magnificent stage. Service is attentive and well-intentioned, though it can occasionally want for the depth of knowledge that elevates a good meal into a memorable one. LOUIX LOUIS is, in sum, a very good restaurant striving -- not quite yet arriving -- at greatness. The bones are exceptional; one hopes the culinary vision will, in time, catch up with them.
