Lavelle - Toronto, Ontario

Great views of the party and has a rooftop pool. Check the website because they sometimes have promoyions that allow free pool entry on certain days. Lots of security with a pat down to get in so you don't have to worry about being stabbed like most places 😅

This place is for the vibes, but the food was actually better than I expected! I will say service was a little lacking, and that’s why it’s 4 stars instead of 5. The vibe is amazing. We went in summer so I’m not sure what it would be like in the ... winter, but it was a gorgeous pool and atmosphere with a live DJ, music was perfect not too loud for a conversation but still a fun ambiance. I will note it’s not on a super high floor and there are high railings, so the view is nice but not the best I’ve seen in Toronto (ex. For the best rooftop view KOST is probably a notch above, but notch below for food). That said, we had a nice view of the CN tower and skyscrapers for miles. Ok on to the food. It actually really exceeded my expectations, definitely wasn’t expecting much but it was all quite tasty. We tried the yuzu truffle guac which I definitely recommend. Truffle fries which were a classic solid choice (maybe not the best I’ve had), then I got the tofu bowl which I expected to be boring but was actually so incredibly flavorful!! There was a coconut rice drenched in a sweet spicy sauce that was to die for, and the veg all soaked up the sauce really nicely too. Then my frozen margarita was incredible, really perfect in terms of balance and nice slushy texture. I do wish they had a couple more vegetarian options, but honestly can’t complain with a healthy yet tasty tofu option and decent apps. I didn’t see the mac n cheese on the menu anymore but hope they bring it back. The only thing lacking was the service, they could’ve been more attentive and we were waiting a long time for them to refill waters, take our order, bring the bill, etc. I actually had to walk up to the waitress to ask for water because I was so thirsty. Also note something unusual, if you plan to share items but want separate bills they cannot split items. I am knocking a star for the slow service, but otherwise would have been a 5 star experience!

I am not sure why but seems they were really unorganized! We ordered sushi and truffles for the starter with our drinks the lady asked us to order our main course, we said sure but please make sure our drinks comes first + appetizer! She said yes! After 30 minutes suddenly ... our main course comes! And we are surprised! Where is our drinks, appetizers… We asked them please keep our food at least warm inside so at lease we can have our drinks first! They said ok, after 10 minutes our drinks came along with our main food! Still no news from appetizers! After 5 minutes our appetizers came! So as you can see in the picture, the moment that finally we had everything! All the foods were cold and not tasty anymore at all! The only good thing was sushi and views! Read more

Pretty disappointing experience. Hostess were very rude and not helpful. Took a while to be greeted but our server was actually pretty nice. Food is good but somethings are very overpriced, like the tiramisu and the beers. Beers only come in a can and this is what we got as a ... glass when we asked for one... I had higher expectations, I wouldn’t go back. Read more

Zach was amazing. Best recommendations and Service ! Atmosphere 10/10 for the brunch day party. Only thing I would suggest is not have a set menu with only two options for appetizers and mains. I would have enjoyed the full menu to order what I please. Thank you Lavelle ... for the amazing day brunch party! Read more
