What's not to love?! A delicious spread of Jewish fair, joyful interaction with The Host, and much Oy-yo-yoy-yo-yoy all around. Oh and don't forget the music...

Thank you ... for Free Times for all the good times ...and for all the years of joyous song, scrumptious food and a beautiful culture that you have brought to so many for so long! An appreciated patron for life ❣️ Read more
Came here for Open Mic (the French version) and had an amazing time. The venue is small but quite cozy. The staff were incredibly friendly (shout-out Cristian). Plus, they have many vegan options. Highly recommend!
First time I had full traditional fish-dairy( no meat) home cooked style, Jewish spread like this and they were delish! There were lox, latkes, Blintzes, Gefilte fish, pickled herrings, whole full on dessert & so on. Owner, Judy checked on every single table and with a friendly smile to make sure ... all the patrons were having a good time and she had a great speech after. It was almost like we were invited to Judy’s houseparty. Very much enjoyable live band(Yosi and the Yingles) who played familiar Jewish songs for everyone in the dining room to clap & sing along (with tumbalalaika. ) after the feast. These guys were one of a few bands that made me look for the tip jar. So talented. Such a fun time & food to close 2023. Thank you Judy for hosting this brunch!! Read more
Such a fun brunch experience in the city and I can’t believe I didn’t come sooner! Amazing deal at only $30pp for Sunday brunch and the buffet is amazing! Best things in there were for sure the latkes and the blintzes! Honourable mention to the pickles as well. The klezmer ... band was so much fun and everyone in the room was singing and clapping along. It just brought such life and energy into the room! I will 100% be back because this was so much fun!

Had an ok experience. Lots of improvement to be made on the food, but service was fine. Challah is incredible :) It's a bit overpriced
