Bread & Butter - Toronto, Ontario

Food is great; service is questionable if you are a visible minority. Just like one of the reviews here mentioned, my wife and I went for lunch today and we were ignored for better half of our time there while other Caucasian guests were welcomed, seated with smiles and friendly ... conversations. No water or cutlery at our table. I had to stand in line to ask where to seat, ask for menus and ask for cutlery even after the food was delivered. The whole vibe felt like we were not supposed to be here. The food quality was great; no complaints there but I wish the staff would serve everyone equally regardless of their skin colour. I’ll go to Starving artist next time. Read more

The lack of accessibility and the lie that there's wheelchair accessible seating available really affects the atmosphere for me as a disabled person. I can get in as a cane user but only on good days when my chronic pain isn't too bad. Adding an accessible entrance at the side ... from the patio wouldn't be hard *if* even the patio was accessible. The food is delicious, service is great! Read more

I love coming to this local spot. I always find the service welcoming and friendly, especially Lazar & Vicky. The food taste delicious, like a home cooked meal should made with love. My favourite is the SCHNITZEL SANDWICH, its unreal :) Thank you for be a staple and ... for being my version of cheers (where everybody knows your name, and they are always glad you came) Read more

Their goulash ($9) arrives steaming hot and emits a comforting fragrance. I could taste the spices teeming in the broth, creating a rich flavour profile with a hint of heat. Filled with chunks of beef, vegetables, and fluffy teaspoon-sized dumplings, it’s a hearty soup that could become a meal with a ... side dish. I did find it a tad oily but may work if you’re soaking up the broth with bread. Bread and Butter’s schnitzel sandwich ($12) is assembled-to-order with a choice of bun (Kaiser, cheese, or onion) and protein (chicken or veal). I dressed mine with mayonnaise, pickles, hot peppers, and lettuce to augment the lightly breaded chicken schnitzel. In retrospect, I’d leave out the pickles as they’re the sweet variety detracting from the savouriness of the sandwich. If you’re already having soup, it’s a good idea to share the sandwich with another person as it’s huge. If only the chicken cutlet were hot, the dish would be incredible. Still, I understand with the limited staff their ability to freshly fry or even heat up the schnitzel is difficult. With a display case of cakes and pastries, I opted for a slice of apple strudel ($5; estimated based on bill total) to go. There must be a full apple per slice as the pastry was essentially chopped and sliced apples surrounded by layers of phyllo. While the spices were delicious and the sweetness spot on, the apple’s skin were left on, so the chewy bits took away from the lusciousness of the dessert. Read more

super cozy! Feels like you are in grandma's house for a breakfast bite. the food was delicious, I got B&B which is benedict on schnitzel. the schnitzel was preheated I guess but still very delicious. the homemade pancake didn't serve to my satisfaction. many people get pastry take out. the ... staff were friendly. Would recommend this place. Read more
