Junction Grill — Restaurant in Toronto

The restaurant was practically full, a good sign about its popularity. On such a beautiful day, I was lucky to get the last table on the patio. And moments after I sat down, a musician began to serenade us all with an accordion, adding a romantic ambiance to the air. The service was great, kind and attentive (assuming you're not in a rush; it's the kind of service where they want you to enjoy your stay so they're not constantly coming by). When they served my coffee (a really delicious one), I had the pleasure of watching the cream swirl with it in the clear glass mug.

The menu has plenty of flavourful options, including vegan ones. I ordered the vegan burrito, which was hearty, packed with filling, and left me satisfyingly full. The avocado in it was ripe to perfection, and the beans were tender without being mushy. The mushrooms and peppers were thinly sliced, providing more even distribution of ingredients. A small salad was served on the side with red peppers and some sliced onion, lightly drizzled with what tasted like an olive oil/balsamic vinaigrette.

Alongside my burrito, three different No 7 hot sauces were provided as condiments (a garlic one, an arbol pepper one, and a habanero/ghost pepper one). Each was delicious, and on top of that, vegan, gluten-free, nut-free, with no added salt or sugar! They're tasty with a level of heat that's hot enough to interest the taste buds without painfully burning your mouth. They also have the bottles for sale.

This was such a lovely restaurant for a relaxing Sunday morning breakfast. I look forward to my next visit...

My partner and I have been frequenters here since we moved to the neighbourhood 6 months ago. Usually the service is really good, fast and friendly. Food is decently priced for the type of brunch/breaky they serve.

We came in today for brunch, it was really busy. I ordered a grilled cheese and broccoli soup, my partner got one of their regular breakfasts. It took about an hour to get our food, which already sucked but we stayed patient. And then when it came, my grilled cheese wasn’t really hot nor melted. The soup definitely looked like broccoli cheddar (it was orange) —NOT broccoli soup which is what it said on the menu. But it just didn’t taste good, had a processed flavour that made it almost inedible. I didn’t enjoy it and did not eat it.

I politely said to our server that I did not enjoy the soup, I did not say it was bad, but also expected to not have to pay for a dish I did not enjoy nor eat. Then the cook/waitress came by afterwards and questioned what I didn’t like about the soup because “she cooked it herself” and was very defensive. This was honestly the rudest service I’ve experienced at a restaurant. If a customer doesn’t like your food and said it politely, you do not question nor do you say to the other waitresses behind us that “it’s not our problem”. You run a restaurant, if the food is bad or a customer didn’t enjoy it, it is YOUR problem.

So disappointed in the service and how unaccomadating that waitress/cook was. We used to really like coming here (hence the 3 star rating despite) but don’t think we will...

I WANT TO THANK JUNCTION GRILL, THIS IS TO, Patricia, Connie, Vanessa. Thank you for the amazing,warm environment, and spectacular setting. I have been all over Canada. From coast to coast, for 35+ years. I have never had such an amazing experience, In my whole life. The food is stunning,and flavors that are such soul food.

I am going to contact the food network,and explain my experience. I have never had a group of ladies that ever operated a restaurant,with such class, service, food,and the atmosphere where you never want to leave. Or always wanting to come back. My taste buds are hooked,and I will never forget how I was treated. I would rate you higher, but it only goes so high.
