Joined the writers room for afternoon tea to celebrate Father’s Day with the husband and had a wonderful time. Thank you Perry for the great service despite having to take care of so many tables this afternoon. Food tasted great with an amazing view. Great place to relax and chat away from the bustle in downtown TO. Be sure to make a reservation if you wish to sit by the window like we did.

This is not my first time but by far my favourite time here. I came to watch Mexico vs South Korea. The vibe here is always top notch, the views, the amazing drinks, the energy. Zaqir gave us some incredible suggestions, excellent hospitality, we’ll be back for sure and if you’re in the area we suggest you stop by Writer’s room.

Today we celebrated our 25th anniversary at the “Writers” and it was an unforgettable experience. From the very first moment, we felt truly welcome and comfortable. The hostess made sure we got the best table in the bar, which made the evening even more special. A special thank you to Lora for the excellent service — attentive, friendly, and warm throughout the entire evening. The drinks were fantastic, the atmosphere was amazing, and the view was simply the best in the city. Overall, it was a perfect evening that we will always remember. Highly recommended!

Yum. I liked the steak tartare. They make a good French 75 also. The view here is amazing. However, our waiter was a bit unprofessional and seemed new. He didn’t know where to put the drinks (even though there were free coasters) and made some odd joke when it was time to pay about us having no money left.

An absolutely exceptional experience from beginning to end. Writers Room Bar truly delivers on every level — a rare balance of elegance, creativity, and genuine hospitality. The food was outstanding: beautifully presented, thoughtfully curated, and full of refined, layered flavors. Every dish felt intentional, crafted with both precision and passion. Service was equally impressive — attentive without being intrusive, warm, and effortlessly professional. You feel taken care of in a way that elevates the entire evening. And the atmosphere… simply unforgettable. There is a certain energy here — intimate, sophisticated, and quietly vibrant. But the true highlight is the patio. It is, without exaggeration, one of the most beautiful patios in Toronto. The panoramic skyline views, the soft ambient lighting, the perfectly designed seating — everything feels intentional and elevated. Sitting there at night, overlooking the city lights, feels almost cinematic… like you’ve stepped into a different version of the city, calmer, more refined, more beautiful. It’s not just a place to have a drink — it’s a place to experience Toronto at its absolute best. Writers Room Bar is not just somewhere you go — it’s somewhere you remember.
