The Ace - Toronto, Ontario

The Ace Toronto is one of the rare find Michelin brunch spot in Toronto. Highly recommend for reservation in order to get the table seats, or else expect bar seats. We walked in at 2pm, and still wait for 15-20 mins before we got seated. ... Ordered the duck confit sourdough, daily salmon omelette, and finish off with small portion French toast. All the brunch comes with either salad or potatoes or a mix of both. The omelette portion is huge, but with small portion of salmon and stuff with few large potatoes. Duck confit sourdough with two poach eggs is good, but not to the point of Wow factor. The French toast is the best of all, with berries sauce and pistachio cream. This brunch spot definitely better than lots of brunch spot in Toronto, but don't go there with high hopes. Read more

Very cute diner place. Food is excellent! The French toast is a must order - it’s not an ordinary French toast as the sauce is just so special and tasty. I also ordered the Huevos Rancheros which tastes really good too!

There’s a growing prevalence of restaurants making access to their menus and the information generally about them available only through specific social media platforms, such as FaceBook and Instagram. If a prospective guest doesn’t have that particular social media platform, they are often reliant on photos on Google maps of ... the menu or calling the restaurant directly. When the restaurant doesn’t answer the phone, it makes it even harder to know what to expect. Accordingly, when we tried to determine in advance if there were vegetarian options available, it was impossible to to adequately determine that. So, the vegetarian in our party only discovered that there is no vegetarian main on offer. But on to the food. The bread was delightful. We weren’t sure if the bread was made in-house or not, but well done regardless. The roast beets and ricotta were fine, but somewhat lacking excitement. Although roasted, the beets were peeled and the accompanying dressing and pistachio dust didn’t do much to elevate straight-up beets. The dauphine potatoes suffered a similar fate. The flavours were not offensive by any means, but also not especially mesmerizing either. Something to bring forth the creaminess would have been a welcome addition. Maybe something acidic. The burger was apparently pretty good, but I didn’t try that. The burger eater said it was elevated over regular burgers. The best dish was a surprise to both us and the server. The server said it was their favourite dish. When we got it, they said it was not the roasted eggplant dish they thought it was, but a new version. It was great. Creamy and subtle and a hint of smoke … but then a great zing from chili and a nice addition of cilantro. This dish turned it around. The basque cheesecake was what one would expect and pretty decent. The cocktails were also very good and another saving grace. Overall a pleasant experience, but not enough to maybe encourage a second visit? Read more

10/10. This local bar/restaurant is above ordinary. I saw its high ratings in reviews and decided to try their food. I ordered the ace burger which comes with a fries. The meat was medium-rare( you can have other options) and delicious. It had a smokey flavour and was thick. Not ... like those thin paddies you find elsewhere. I was there around 7 pm and there was no seat available so I sat at the bar which was fun indeed. Service was great but a bit slo in my opinion but I didn’t have any problem with it. Green p Parking available near the restaurant and you can also find 1h parking spots in streets across the restaurant. Their burger was 27 Cad. Read more
