Her Father’s Cider Bar + Kitchen - Toronto, Ontario

This past Saturday, we had the pleasure of dining at Her Father's Cider Bar & Kitchen, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, the staff's warm hospitality was evident. Our server, Max, stood out with his incredible knowledge and helpfulness. He expertly guided ... us through the menu, making spot-on recommendations for both drinks and dishes. His suggestions truly enhanced our dining experience. The outdoor patio was another highlight. Perfectly situated away from street traffic, it offered a peaceful and pleasant dining environment. The tables were well-spaced, ensuring privacy and comfort, and the staff worked seamlessly together, providing impeccable service throughout our meal. Among the many delightful dishes we tried, the Applewood Smoked Arctic Char was my absolute favorite. This dish was nothing short of mouthwatering and left a lasting impression. The small plate menu is a fantastic concept, allowing diners to sample and share multiple dishes, making the meal even more enjoyable. Overall, our evening at Her Father's Cider Bar & Kitchen was thoroughly enjoyable. We are already looking forward to our next visit and highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a wonderful dining experience. Mike & Diana Read more

I booked the back room at Her Father's Cider Bar for my birthday celebration and everything was absolutely amazing. The food, drink selection, ambiance, hospitality and overall experience- everything exceeded my expectations! I worked closely with their manager Josh to coordinate the timing, capacity, budget, food and dietary restrictions for my ... group. He was extremely flexible to work with and ensured that everyone in my group had a meal that they could eat (we had a couple vegetarians/vegans). Even though we only corresponded through email, he was extremely quick with getting back to me and answering all our my questions - no matter how big or small they were. Having him as a contact made me extremely comfortable and less stressed with the planning since he clearly knows his stuff when it comes to special events and planning! The server who helped take care of my group was extremely attentive while also easygoing and flexible. She was patient despite our group being so large and split into two, and I greatly appreciated her attention to detail when it came to catering to my vegan guests and latecomers. I had the chicken & waffles and it was the perfect size. Their apple butter and apple ketchup are both amazing and accompanied the food perfectly. I would love to come back to try other brunch items as everyone else's food looked really good as well! I also can't wait to visit again to try their dinner menu and I know for sure that this is going to be a lovely date night location going forward! Thank you everyone at Her Father's for your amazing hospitality and service! Read more

Very cute spot with elevated brunch! We had a wonderful spot next to the window and it was great to enjoy our brunch. For food we had the smoked salmon Benny and chorizo sausage. These were both very sweet - a little too much for what we were expecting / ... enjoy in savoury brunches. Also, the dishes were fairly expensive. Service was polite. Would definitely come back to sit on patio and try a flight of cider. Read more

Very confused about the reviews for this place. Possibly just an off day in the kitchen, because majority of reviews are very good- but our experience was not. Service wasn’t bad, but wasn’t great either. Kind of felt rushed throughout our time there. All dishes we ordered had really great potential ... but the main ingredient was lacking flavour. The pork cutlet was our favorite- though the cutlet alone tasted like absolutely nothing. Portions are pretty small considering the price point. But cider flight was great! Probably wouldn’t come back for anything other than drinks. Read more

Big fan of the brunch experience here. We had the chorizo hash - absolute standout, potatoes perfect and whatever that green sauce was, amazing. The brussel spouts were excellent. Confounded by the ‘apple pie’ - flavours were great but there didn’t seem to be a lot of ‘pie’ involved. I don’t always ... get deconstructed stuff but it was difficult to eat the apple. Still recommend everything else we had. Great atmosphere. Read more
