Le Cafe Michi - Scarborough, Ontario

Truly an amazing restaurant for so many years. Always fresh and home style comfort food! I am SUPER HAPPY they are staying open with their cake business as they have me and my family’s most favourite cakes and are all very unique in taste. I have not found anywhere with ... similar cakes. Usually light and just sweet enough! Thank you Le Cafe Michi for some amazing memories and food over the years! 🙏❤️ Read more

Focused on Shokudo-style Japanese cuisine. If you live in Scarborough consider yourself lucky: long-standing gem is one of the GTA’s premiere spots for authentic, high-quality Japanese cuisine. If you’re elsewhere in the GTA - or from out of town - it’s well worth the trip off the beaten path to ... the small commercial strip where Café Michi resides. They are justifiably famous for their sushi & sashimi, their Japanese curry, and their bento. But they also rock less commonly available dishes like Chawanmushi, Gyudon (arguably the best in the GTA) and their amazing, in-house made desserts. We had spent a long day hiking before our most recent visit so we were able to order more food than usual. We enjoyed several starters in advance of our main dishes, including Chawanmushi, Karaage, Maguro Nigiri and Hamachi Sashimi. Everything was outstanding, with the fresh, generous portions of fish standing out amongst an already stellar line up of dishes. For our main dishes we enjoyed a chicken katsu Japanese curry with rice and a bowl of absolutely divine chicken teriyaki (so unlike what most teriyaki is like - and so much better!). One of us ordered the full meal combo, which includes a side salad and a bowl of miso soup. And while the salad is always yummy (fabulous sesame dressing), admittedly we were craving the miso soup, which Michi absolutely rocks. For dessert we enjoyed a sublime slice of sake mousse chocolate cake. Like all of Michi’s desserts this slice of food heaven was typical of the Japanese approach to dessert: a symphony of flavours so unlike the often too-sweet concoctions of European origin. This amazing meal, which included tea, was only $110 inclusive of tax and tip - outstanding value for both the quantity and quality of food. Highly recommended. Read more

This place is such a gem. An unassuming store front from the exterior but we were extremely satisfied with the quality of food we tried! As a bonus, the desserts were amazing and they had such unique cake flavours! 😋 The service and hospitality was also perfect ☺️

We tried Le Cafe Michi for lunch as we wanted to try their cakes as well. Each of their food items has the ability to come in a combo with salad, miso soup and a cake slice of your choosing. I got the Beef Curry whereas the rest of my ... table got a Don and sukiyaki. For our cake slices, we chose the hojicha cheesecake and the bailey cheesecake. The food items were good but the cakes were the highlight. Each set also came with the option of tea or coffee which was a nice complement. Overall very nice cafe and would come back. Read more

We have been coming to this restaurant for over 10 years and while the pricing remains the same, the portion has become a little bit less. When you order a dinner combo, you get a main dish with salad, miso soup and a cake. Smaller piece of cake, smaller bowl ... all leads to the urge to write this review. Prices are somewhat high considering the portion and the quality of the food. We ordered a yakiniku for my 2 years old son and it was $18.95 without the combo and the portion was small that he ended up eating my wife's rice. The waitress was not attentive at all and many times, we had to ask for more tea, to order food, to clean up. For the premium pricing, we as the customers, do not feel we had been well taken care of.
