The restaurant was quite busy when we arrived, but service was impressively quick and genuinely friendly, which immediately made the experience feel welcoming. The carpaccio was fine, pleasant but fairly straightforward, but everything else we ordered was excellent The octopus was tender, and hearty, paired nicely with potatoes, hummus, some greens, and capers. It was well-balanced and satisfying without feeling heavy. The steak came out a perfect medium-rare and juicy. The nut topping on the fish added a really nice crunch, contrasting beautifully with the soft, tender flesh of the fish. And then there was the duck: the clear standout of the night. It was beautifully cooked and seasoned. The fat kept it incredibly juicy without feeling greasy. The charred cabbage on the side added a subtle smokiness that tied everything together perfectly. Every bite honestly made me happier and happier. Getting to the restaurant was a little confusing at first, but once you're there, it's absolutely worth it. A really enjoyable meal overall, and especially memorable for that duck dish. Definitely a place I'd return to. read more

Visited this restaurant on mother's day for a lovely lunch :) What we ordered: Zucchini chips: ($27) 8.5/10 I've never had zucchini chips before, they were perfectly fried, light, and went well with the tzatziki. I feel like there could've been more zucchini for the price point Peppercorn steak: ($78) 8.5/10 Very tender and well-cooked steak. I couldn't really taste much of a peppercorn flavor in the sauce though. I prefer my steak on the saltier side so I asked for some salt and they gave me a small bowl of flakey sea salt (my favourite!). Lobster roll ($48): 9/10 I've never had avocado in a lobster roll before, and the flavours & textures actually worked really well together! The lobster tasted fresh and sweet. The fries were crispy and plentiful. This spot is on the pricier side, but the quality of the food, service, and ambiance is reflected in the price. read more

Great restaurant to celebrate a special occasion! Watercolour has a rotating menu that is delicious and will get you coming back. I found this place on TikTok like many other spots but unlike others, Watercolour did not disappoint. The restaurant was warm and intimate and would've been lovely if we were seated at the upper level overlooking the restaurant. The service was amazing and gave perfect suggestions, while being attentive. Would definitely recommend the lobster tagliatelle. I'll be back! 4.65/5 read more

Still a staple restaurant in Mainstreet Unionville of Markham. Food is still great, service is still amazing, and ambiance is good. My only suggestion for this restaurant would be that they didn't have a lunch menu when I was there OR it wasn't presented to us, because I see it on their website currently. At the time when I was there, I really thought they could pivot to add a lunch menu, as not everyone wants to be paying $75-$100 for a lunch (which was my case when I went for lunch over summer time). Here's what we got between three of us during lunch: Zucchini Chips 5/5 $26 - Love this and tastes even better with some honey that we asked for on the side Arugula & Fennel Salad 4/5 $24 - Delicious and refreshing. It comes with toasted pine nuts, aged parm and citrus vinaigrette. Lamb Chops 5/5 $72 - So good and highly recco. Served with tzatziki, roasted veg and potatoes. Well seasoned and cooked perfectly. Lobster Tagliatelle 5/5 $58 - Delicious, with fresh lobster, bisque, cream and chives. The flavours were decadent and well balanced. Overall, still a really solid spot to check out. Definitely on the pricey side since it's in the heart of Mainstreet Unionville. read more

Interior aesthetic here is such a vibe. Had a resy and got seated upstairs by the window and had a nice view overlooking the outside. Our server came pretty fast to ask us if we had questions about the menu and took our drink orders. Attention here was spot on as we had water refills frequently without being asked! We ordered zucchini chips with a yogurt dip, lamb chops, and lobster tailiglate. Zucchini chips were battered and fried nicely def a good app. The lamb chops were requested to be medium rare however it seems like it was cooked more on the rare side. Had a great crust but still pretty pink inside. Would have preferred medium rare but at least the lamb didn't have any gameyness to it at all . Lobster pasta had a good amount of lobster chunks and the pasta was nice and al dente. Loved the sauce that this was tossed in as well, had a spicy kick to it and the tomato taste was very rich. read more

Came here for a Christmas date. We just ordered the one off menu item which was the surf and turf because we're suckers for ribeye. The steak was a massive 28oz bone-in beast (though it might've been a few oz short). It came with 3 jumbo prawns that were cooked perfectly and they came on a pan of red wine demi glaze and some mushrooms. The side was shoestring fries with some standard aioli. Service was adequate if a bit slow at times but overall a decent meal as the steak was cooked perfectly. Nothing spectacular overall and hence I feel it's a bit overpriced at $225. I may return to try their regular menu but it's mostly not my type of cuisine. read more

A beautiful tapestry of a restaurant in a quaint neighbourhood serving some delicious food. I had the pleasure of having lunch at Watercolour last week after pining to go to this restaurant for a long time. It's difficult to get to due to local city construction but plow through that and don't let it stop you because this establishment delivers on all fronts. Service was exceptional, fast, friendly and knowledgeable. Thanks goes out to Erin who went above and beyond to welcome me and help me feel comfortable. The restaurant itself is beautiful, cozy and quiet with a lot of different nooks to settle in nicely for some delicious food. Speaking of food: I ordered the lobster roll with fries and it was spectacular. A large portion of fries accompanied a roll stuffed with lobster that was succulent and so very tasty. What a lovely experience all through and through. I'll definitely be back! read more

We had dinner at Watercolour because my friend was always curious about it whenever she was around Unionville. It turned out to be a really solid choice. The place feels classy yet comfortable, with a bit of old school charm and a calm vibe all around. For those wondering, we sat upstairs and the noise level wasn't nearly as echoey as some reviews mentioned. Service was excellent, probably one of the best I have seen in a long time. The staff were attentive, fun, and kept things light with jokes here and there. It honestly felt like the kind of dinner experience we used to have before the pandemic. I also appreciated how seriously they took allergies, which was reassuring. For starters we shared Zucchini Chips, Baked Feta, and Octopus a la Plancha (which came with a nice hummus on the side). Mains were Lobster Paccheri and Seafood Risotto. The flavours and aromas were lively and the ingredients felt fresh and properly cooked. If I had to nitpick, the Zucchini Chips could have stayed crispier a bit longer, and the octopus could have had more of that chewy tang I remember from other versions. The risotto was on the softer side, probably to suit local preferences, but the seafood was spot on. The Lobster Paccheri was excellent, the kind of pasta dish that makes you happy to pay for it, which says a lot since pasta can often feel overpriced in many places. With this level of quality and service, I can easily see myself coming back. Two small things aside, everything else was a joy and I truly enjoyed every bit of the evening. read more

Took my mom there for her birthday and the food was amazing! My parents shared the surf & turf. I got their lobster tagliatelle and my husband got the short rib pappardelle. We also got the calamari, Octopus a la Plancha and an order of their bread to share. The service was nothing outstanding but they were there when we needed them to be. The restaurant ambiance itself is beautiful. Gorgeous decor and definitely feels like a high end restaurant. I took a star off the rating because the desserts were obscenely priced and very small in portion. For the two small desserts I got, we could have bought a whole cake and some! read more

Having just landed in Toronto--and completely forgetting it was Mother's Day --I found myself in a last-minute scramble to find a restaurant that wasn't overflowing with crowds. By some stroke of luck (or divine intervention), I stumbled upon this spot with one available seat... at the chef's table, no less! I started with the burrata and beets, and was pleasantly surprised to receive an entire burrata--rare and appreciated. The beets were delicious, though the dish as a whole was noticeably under-seasoned. I asked for salt and pepper (and silently wished for a drizzle more olive oil, but didn't want to push my luck). Then came the seafood risotto--an absolute dream. The flavor transported me straight back to the kind of risotto I had growing up in Italy--rich, layered, and perfectly balanced. Truly unmatched. The only letdown? The rice. It wasn't just al dente; it was crunchy. You could literally hear it. But the flavor was so divine, I couldn't bear to send it back for fear it might not come out the same. As for the prices--definitely on the steep side (heavily), but great flavors. 4 stars just for the almost raw rice... read more

What a hidden gem in Markham, this restaurant continues to justify its reputation with attentive service, delicious food and a welcoming, polished ambiance. I had a surprise birthday dinner and everything I asked for was accommodated by the staff. The zucchini chips arrived crisp and was my favourite. The lamb chops we ordered was also fairly delicious but the highlight was the lobster tagliatelle, where the flavours just worked really well and the lobster was fresh. In addition, I sat near the open-ish kitchen and I always love being able to see the cooking. This is definitely worth a visit no matter where you are in the GTA. read more

The first thing you need to know is that it's pretty pricey. This is the land of thirty dollar drinks, and sixty dollar mains. So, if you're reading that and thinking "That's not that expensive given today's restaurant prices," then this is the place for you. Because it is really delicious. First off, you'll find yourself in an amazing location. Walking Unionville Mainstreet before or after a meal is always a wonderful time, but when you're in the restaurant, you're in for a treat as well. I recommend trying to sit up stairs. There's less traffic, great views out the window, and a calmer atmosphere. The pasta is superb, and more than enough to fill you. But, the lamb chops really surprised me. There were five. Five chops? Not three? Tasty, and filling. And the flour-free chocolate desert? I can't even. It was thick, and wonderful, and to be honest - I'd return just to have that on its own. read more

Watercolour is a beautiful restaurant. As soon as you walk in you are just in awe of how beautiful the space is. Came here for an early birthday celebration for a friend. We were seated upstairs in one of the little coves, beautiful space to dine in. Service started great. We ordered the zucchini chips to start and our drinks. We also ordered our mains at the same time. I ordered the Short ribs penne and my friend ordered the Salmon. Presentation wise the food looked amazing and taste wise the food was equally as delicious. The only thing was...service. Our server never came back to check on us. I would have loved some crushed black pepper, but he never came back. Someone completely different took our dessert order, dropped it off and quickly left and well we had no forks. It took a while to flag someone down to get forks. I think what made the experience not great was the lack of service. Another thing, I'm a person that looks at the menu before going to any place. I noticed that menu online and in person were completely different. The prices were also completely different. Everything on the in person menus was 10-15 dollars more than started on the website. Completely false advertisement. Also, There is inconsistency in the items online than in person. Online it was a short rib pappardelle, in person it's penne. This is just dishonest. The pricing the difference in the menus, completely dishonest. While Watercolour might be a beautiful place all that beauty goes out the window when you your expectations and service are not there. read more

Came here for my anniversary with my bf and we had a wonderful time. We sat upstairs with the side by side seat which made it intimate and cute for a date. Our servers were amazing and tentative.

We shared the 12oz steak and it was cooked to medium rare and was good. Cute restaurant for an occasion or date. read more

This has been on my list for a special occasion meal in Markham ever since I heard of it opening. For Valentine's Day my girlfriend and I came by to try and we had a lovely delicious dinner. We were lucky to be seated at a booth on the second floor which was intimate and also sheltered away from the cold. The Valentine's Day menu allowed us to pick one app and dessert each, along with a shared main. We got the following: - Crab Croquette with Aioli & caviar - Tenderloin Carpaccio with Aioli, Mancheo & Fresh Truffles - 14oz Australian Wagyu Striploin with Roasted Vegetables & Potatoes - Chocolate truffle cake with hazlenuts - Vanilla cheesecake with raspberry compote My favourite was the wagyu, which was cooked perfectly and was delicious and tender. The dish also featured a nice mix of mushrooms, onions, peppers, and potatoes. The service was friendly and attentive, which made the night even more enjoyable. I would love to come back perhaps for more an a la carte experience, as I thought the food was wonderful, and the presentation was on point, but the pricing ($165 per person) left a bit to be desired. read more

Genuinely think that this is one of my favourite restaurants in Main Street Unionville. I don't usually have Mediterranean inspired food often but this place exceeded my expectations. The interior of the restaurant was so stunning and all of the food was beautifully presented. Favourite app had to be the baked feta that slightly crisp on the outside and soft of the inside, and it was perfectly balanced with flavour from the pistachios and honey. Overall I genuinely enjoyed my experience here and will be back We ordered: Lamb chops Steak Tuna tartare tuna Octopus alla plancha Baked feta read more

I think the food is absolutely delicious here as well as the fact that the ambiance is really upscale for somewhere in Markham Unionville. When you walk inside, you're transported to some trendy spot in downtown Toronto. However, I think the price reflects that of Toronto real estate rent and not Markham Unionville rent. And I feel like it was kind of an overpriced dinner even though the food was good. I think there are probably other places with higher quality food for that same price range. But overall, I thought the zucchini chips were really good, so crispy that each one was puffed up. The octopus was on a bed of hummus with some roasted potatoes. We ordered a side of bread that was dipped in olive oil and freshly baked, which was absolutely delicious and we use that bread to soak up all the hummus and olive oil from the octopus dish. We ordered their halibut special. It was actually a pretty large portion but quite expensive and the seafood risotto tasted exactly like the seafood risotto I had in Greece, so the food was quite authentic to Greek slash Mediterranean food however, the price I just couldn't get over given that I was dining in Markham. Our server was very nice and explained all the dishes to us and took the time to make sure we were well served. read more

It was my birthday that my husband booked this restaurant to celebrate with me. It was weekday night that we were there. The restaurant was busy and lots of people made reservations ahead. Sort of popular. The restaurant has front and back patios and indoor dining room (upstairs and downstairs). During summer, they open both front and back patios during the day, but only open the back patio at night. We preferred the patio. Since we had made reservation, we had our table fast. Then we had to settled down our baby first, it took a bit time, but the waitress came to us couple times. Kind of a bit rush. Finally, baby was quiet a little bit, we were rushed to order our drink and food. I got a glass of white Sangria, as my husband was the driver of the night. We had the Calamari Fritti ($26) and Rack of Lamb ($62). They didn't take long to be served, but the "rack" of lamb was not that much. Maybe we misunderstood the word. The taste of Calamari was no different than the others; the lamb was burnt outside, but I liked the garnishes on the top, which was with some green onion or parsley, they tasted like marinated or pickled. I would say it was an high end restaurant. We might come back when they have more interesting stuff. read more

Do you feel like spending a meal in a Mediterranean paradise? For those of us not able to jump on a plane, this is the next best thing. The side patio is amazing and feels like a retreat with its flowers, lights and secluded feel. Nice spot for a Spritz or Peach Bellini cocktail The food is equally impressive. Zucchini crisps were light and flavorful. The salmon and the lobster rolls were good sizes and absolutely packed with flavor. The chunky fries that came with the lobster were deceivingly filling and unique. Finally, the service was on point too. Watercolor is a welcome addition to Unionville and feels destined to become an area favorite. read more

Had an amazing meal at this beautiful restaurant in the heart of Main Street Unionville featuring Mediterranean cuisine. The staff did their best to give us seats due to the patio situation. Octopus was amazing - although I would have preferred the octopus served as a whole and not cut up into pieces. The lobster pasta and the sea bass was really delicious. Unfortunately we had to sit at the bar since the patio was not unavailable due to rain, but I quite enjoyed the food - everything tasted wonderful. However, I do think they need to work on dessert- as they not only did not have an actual menu, they were also pretty basic, just slices of cheesecake and cake. If they can improve on that I think it would be an even better experience! read more

Came here a second time and this time was for our wedding anniversary. When we made the reservation online, we requested for a more spacious and private table, and we indeed got seated at a table with a lot of privacy on the first floor. We received a warm welcome by Michael upon our arrival and he did a good job introducing the menu and specials. We ordered the Organic Salmon and Lobster Tagliatelle. The salmon was super delicious. The skin was crispy till the last bite and the inside was really tender. It was cooked to perfection. Michael was also attentive and considerate enough to make sure the salmon was a bit more on the cooked than how they would normally serve it due to dietary restrictions without being asked. The sauces and chickpea with the tomato and onion were so refreshing and complemented the salmon perfectly. The lobster pasta was really good as well. The lobster was fresh and there was sufficient lobster. The tagliatelle was perfectly al dente. It was also nicely portioned and prepared in the sense that you would not feel very full or bloated from the cream and would still enjoy the very last bite. Because it was our anniversary, Michael was generous enough to offer us a complementary dessert. That was definitely a nice gesture and we really appreciated it. We had the New York Cheesecake and it was really tasty. It didn't taste too sweet but just enough sweetness to end the meal. Overall, we were very satisfied with our dining experience here both times, especially this time. Service was really good and Michael came to check on us and fill our water a few times. They were very accommodating and detailed oriented with dietary restrictions; would go above and beyond to ensure the restrictions were met without our request. The only downside was that because it was a really hot day (30 degree Celsius), there were some flies flying around. However, the food and dining experience were really good that I'm still giving it a five star despite the flies. Also because we did notice that they had an electric bug zapper by the door already so it seemed like they tried to mitigate the issue already. read more

I visited highly rated Watercolour restaurant on a week day around 1pm that was -20 degrees. I honestly thought they would not be busy. Man...was I wrong. They seemed to get a steady stream of patrons coming in. That's a great sign! Most of the patrons were dining on the 2nd floor, but I just wanted to stay on the first floor so that I get a view of the chefs in action in the open kitchen. The open kitchen actually stylistically reminded me of one belonging to a greasy spoon diner, which was a tad disappointing for a restaurant of this ilk, but the dining room was classy in a non-uptight way. I had my sights set on seafood related dishes, eventually landing on the shrimp tagliatelle. The pasta did not blow me away, but I thought it was really good. The pasta was homemade and it had the necessary chew. The sauce was not super distinct in flavour, but it was a light tomato base sauce cooked with garlic and green olives. I'm not an olive guy at all and generally will not touch them, but this is the rare time where I actually enjoyed the slight acidity that the olives brought to the pasta. I also ate all the olives as well. The shrimps were of medium size and had a good seafood taste to them; should be the nicer frozen variety. What I didn't like about the shrimp was that they had a slight artificial crunch. However they treated them reminds me of the texture of the shrimps inside some Hong Kong style wontons. If they can tone that down a bit, the shrimps would be more enjoyable. The quality that they offer is pretty on par with the Yelp reviews. The service was competent with frequent water top up and occasional check ins on how my experience was. Something they have to be cognizant of is the interaction between the cooking staff. There were a couple instances where the f-word was used. It wasn't hostile or anything, I'm generally not bent out of shape with swearing unless kids and seniors are present and I'm pretty aware that the use of expletives are pretty prevalent in most kitchens. But, they shouldn't forget that they are operating in an open kitchen setting... everything can be heard. Definitely something for them to rectify. I also realized that the menu that they have at the restaurant is not matching the one on their website. If they can up their game in those departments, I would have no problems recommending Watercolour Restaurant to others. read more

Came here for a weekday lunch with friends. Love the bright, modern and cozy decor. We were seated upstairs where there is a main dining area and cute little cut-outs on the other side for a closer date experience. Our server was prompt and was able to gauge the time needed for us to chat. We had a smattering of appetizers as our meal. The burrata had a generous portion of super sweet and fresh cherry tomatoes and basil. The burrata had a nice creamy texture. The tuna tartare was very fresh and not fishy at all. The octopus polenta was a bit drier and not as tender as expected. Our friends let us try their salmon and it was perfectly cooked, so tender and flavourful. The burger that they had also wasn't gamey at all which can come from the lamb in the burger. We finished off with the toasted coconut pie and passion fruit New York cheesecake. The coconut pie was quite nice but the cheesecake was on the sweeter side. Overall a nice experience! read more

This is easily a 5-star rating overall. Everything from the food and the ambiance to the service . We enjoyed every dish. The tuna tartare had avocado and chips that complemented well. The lobster tagliatelle was perfect and the lobster was fresh and flawlessly cooked. The salmon on couscous was possibly the best I've had in the gta.

Absolutely stunning and an amazing experience. Staff were friendly and attentive. Food was amazing. Ambiance is so cool- the food is next level. Yes, it's fancy and high end but you get the quality. The seafood risotto wasn't on the menu as it was a chef special that comes back around often. The seafood was cooked to perfection. Not a single scallop or squid was rubbery. The sauce complimented the seafood so well- it was so delicious I could lick the plate clean. (But can't cause we are dining fancy lol) The place is also stunning! Who knew you can have this level of dining experience right in Markham. Parking is available right beside the restaurant and there are seating available outside, inside, and upstairs. Limited though so make sure you book through open table. Is it expensive? Yes. Is it worth it when you want to treat yourself? Absolutely! read more

Food was good and the ambiance very cosy. From the start the waitress was doing the let's hurry up and get your order, very obvious table turning. Anyway when I made it clear that we would control the timing that clearly set the tone and she backed off. With a menu that was not the online version it made it difficult, we had come based on what we seen online. It's has pricing that is high but does NOT deliver on the comfortable experience we desired. Probably will not return. read more

The service was great at Watercolour - staff was attentive and make sure our water was filled and provided great recommendations. We ordered the following: - zucchini chips (great for sharing, crispy but a tad overpriced for the amount) - kale salad (I would skip this salad and try the others instead. The kale needed some more massaging and would have paired better with a different parmasan as the one used is too salty) - mixed seafood platter (another dish that is perfect for sharing. It comes with 3 pieces octopus, tiger shrimp, 6 scallops and half a lobster; the only complaint I had was that there was some sand or graininess when eating the scallops) - gnocchi (very glad that the waiter recommended this dish, it was my favourite! The gnocchi was pillowy and the tomato sauce was the perfect level of sweet, tart and savoury! They still do not have a dessert menu but we choose the Belgian chocolate cake. It was dense but the chocolate wasn't too sweet. It was great for sharing. This is the second time going to this restaurant - once for my birthday and the most recent time was for my mom's birthday. The oddest thing was that I noted that we were there to celebrate a birthday and we didn't get a candle for our dessert. The most awkward thing was the table beside us had one for the person who was celebrating their birthday! I was too embarrassed to ask cause my mom and her friend was around but wish they considered the notes on OpenTable. read more

I came here for Valentine's Day and left pretty disappointed. I haven't been during regular service, and the reviews seem to speak highly of it, but for the occasion, they had a three-course meal where my girlfriend and I had to share a main course. For the price, that felt unreasonable, we couldn't even order different dishes to try. The bill came out to over $500 for one appetizer each, a shared main, dessert, and one drink per person. At that price point, I expected more. That said, the food itself was good, a solid 8/10, and the service was quick , even with the Valentine's Day rush--about a 7/10. We sat in the nice seats upstairs so the ambiance I would give a 8/10 as well. That's the only reason I'm giving it 2 stars instead of 1. When I compare the experience to somewhere like R&D, which has a Michelin star, we could get a higher quality meal for under $300. Due to the Valentine's Day price gouging I'm giving it a 2. read more

Fantastic experience! This restaurant and the staff are cozy, cute and caring. The host greeted us right away. I noticed a few customers walking in at the same time. While they were sorting out our table, a very sweet lady from the kitchen made sure to say hi to all the customers that came after us. I thought it was so sweet. Not a "every man for themselves" environment. Our server Justin took great care of us for my moms birthday. He went above and beyond. There wasn't a moment where I though "where is he?" He checked in on us frequently and made sure we had everything we needed. They made sure our plates were switched out when we had saucy appetizers. The food was amazing! I loved the baked feta. I circled everything I ate on the menu plus today's special which was the mussels. Every dish we had was at least 4.5 out of 5. The Belgian chocolate cake was sooo yummy They worked together as a team and gave us a wonderful experience. My mom had a great time. What a gem! Will be back. read more
