Barberian’s Steakhouse And Tavern - Downtown Yonge, Ontario

We had a dinner at Barbarians to celebrate a special occasion and had such a great experience. When we arrived, they gave us a private dining room and a tour of the wine cellar, along with a history lesson on the restaurant. We all started with the Caesar salad, Garlic Bread, ... and Oysters. The Caesar salad was the best I have had. It comes with a piece of pork, which really elevates the dish. The oysters were amazing. The only downside is that they only come with two garnishes: cocktail sauce and horseradish. The garlic bread was also tasteful, and I highly recommend you start with it and the Caesar salad. For the main dish, I ordered the porterhouse steak with sauteed mushrooms and onions, which was perfectly cooked. The wine selection is very extensive. They even have Magnum bottles, an excellent option if you share wine with four or more people. For dessert, we all had beignets. They were coated in cinnamon sugar and served with ice cream. They had the right amount of sweetness, a great option to cap off a dinner. Overall, this is a great place for special occasions. I’m sure you will have a good experience. The service was top-notch, the food was amazing, and the atmosphere of the building takes you back to 19th-century Europe. Read more

We were in Toronto for a mother and daughter weekend and decided to come here for dinner. I have been here before and wanted to treat my daughter to the experience. As always, Barberian's makes me happy. The atmosphere is old school steakhouse with it's dark wood and richly colored carpet. ... The steak is exceptional in taste and quality. We loved the fries and brussel sprouts too. The staff are attentive and really go out of their way to make you feel special. I look forward to the next time I am in town and plan to make this a definite stop. Read more

Had a wonderful time at Barberian’s to celebrate my boyfriend’s milestone birthday! The service was exceptional and he felt so special. The owner even came by to wish him a happy birthday. I called ahead to ask if they do anything special for birthdays and they had a few options including a ... special dessert and a really great table. Our server offered to take our photo on more than one occasion recognizing the celebration and that was appreciated. It’s definitely got that old school vibe with really interesting art on the walls that makes you feel like you’re in a piece of history! The food was incredible. We got a rib eye steak and a strip loin both cooked to perfection. Shared a salad, and got the onion rings and mushrooms as sides. The onion rings were the best I’ve ever had!! Also a shout out to the baked potato’s that get custom toppings made at your table - loved that! I’m looking forward to going back sometime soon! Read more

1st time trying Barberian's after hearing so much about it (and living less than 10min walk from it). It was my partner's birthday so I took him there. We ordered Caesar salad, escargot, porterhouse and dry aged rib steak to share. The steaks were the highlight and we both enjoyed ... the rib steak the best compared to the porterhouse. Mind you, the 24oz porterhouse was still excellent but you can't beat a nicely dry aged steak. The only thing I didn't really care for was the Caesar salad because I know I could make a better dressing from scratch. And for $26, I didn't think it was worth it. Service was attentive but not overbearing. I informed the waiter we are sharing everything so all dishes were already split in half for us when they arrive. Even the side of baked potatoe for 1 steak and fries for the others were split for us. That was unexpected and much appreciated. Although a little pricey, overall it was a great meal and it's a place I'd go for special occasions. Read more
