Such a cute, vintage vibe and cool space! The food is the star though! Amazing flavours, nice presentation, and good portions. Small menu but there’s something delicious for everyone. There’s a little patio too and the drink menu is varied. We took our time and lingered over our delicious meals listening to great music. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience at The Old York Tavern. I had never been, but my cousin recommended it and will 💯 be back. One of the best brunch patios I’ve been on, ever. Situated in more of a residential area, you are not getting the overstimulating hustle and bustle vibe of the city but more of a chill and quaint small town. The polarizing view of the CN tower was absolutely perfect. We enjoyed the lobster Benedict and the French toast. Top notch!
Old York tavern has amazing brunch food. Usually I’m not one to review brunch food because I haven’t felt super strongly about any place before. But I loved the salmon tartine here. What stood out to me the most was the eggs. They were so soft and I don’t know how they managed to cook it like that. The salmon was fresh and the pickled vegetable at the top added the perfect balance. I had a sip of my friend’s Caesar and it was soooo tasty.
i visited this place not once and i ready to share my opinion. food has a great quality, brunches are always pleasant. i came here once for dinner and i was very surprised with my dish. i couldn’t even imagine it will be so high level. recommend!
I really like to think of Old York Tavern as a hidden gem, but I’m sure they’re more of a local legend. Their menu is small, but has such interesting combinations. They’re always worth every penny, and I’ve been visiting the restaurant for their food multiple times. If I had to ever recommend a restaurant to people visiting the city, this would be probably on the top of my list of recommendations. Literally, every single item from their brunch to dinner menu, including their drinks (personally a big fan of their ceasar and breakfast martini) makes me foam at the mouth. The staff there are super friendly and sweet. Shoutout to George! He always remembered me, and never missed saying hello when he saw me. The service is always great, but I think it’s unique in the way that it feels like a community to me. This was my perfect third place (a place outside of work and home). It’s more than just a restaurant with good food, it’s also a vibey atmosphere with really cool people. A city gem. 11/10
