It’s been a while since my family and I have been into Morgan’s. New faces, new menu. We were a party of four plus one, we were given a high chair for our little guy. We had lots of space, it was a very busy Saturday night but the entire restaurant had a great vibe. We ordered a bottle of Procecco which was opened at our table and a really nice dark beer they just tapped called, Queen of the Night by Spearhead. The kids had beautifully displayed Shirley Temples and the little guy a milk.
We had both servers and the owner come and speak to us. Jen and Amora were very attentive, friendly and helpful.
We started with the cauliflower bites and the Thai Fish cakes. We devoured everything. The portion of cauliflower bites were quite generous, nice and crispy. The fish cakes were awesome too, the sauce that goes with it added an amazing flavour, we were impressed.
For mains the two older kids ordered gnocchi which is made in house, OMG - SO GOOD!! My hubby had the lamb shepherds pie, which stay piping hot right to the last bite because it’s cooked and served in a cast iron dish, the flavours were exactly what he was looking for as he said he wanted good home comfort food. We shared the warm lentil salad, it was so delicious and filling! I ordered the mussels, all the portion sizes were perfect, the fresh tarragon in the broth was AMAZING! It also came with some pieces of baguette. Our little guy had the kids fish and chips, of course we had to help him taste that too, it was perfect.
Dessert we had to have the classic sticky toffee pudding which is still award winning in our books. Although we also saw two new desserts which was a delicious chocolate brownie - both desserts came with ice cream! We also enjoyed the Bannoffee, not sure if I spelled that right, but it was like a banana cream pie with toffee, so light and fresh.
I think we were in the restaurant for about two and half hours, we watched the place fill and there was always a new party looking for a table. We’re picky about where we eat because we like really good food and enjoy good service, honestly we were so impressed we’re going to make this our regular restaurant. It’s in the neighbourhood and we love to support East York businesses, eating local and having great restaurants like this makes it very convenient to not go far from home to get a great meal and great...
Read moreI ordered the chuck /brisket burger. They burnt the burger, it was dry as a bone, pretty flat and hard with black grill marks. They refused to do anything saying that they really need to cook the burger for safety. The waiter did take off my coke from the bill, which was 4 bucks. I’m really disappointed because the cook didn’t take responsibility, not in the kitchen when it was allowed to go out to a customer and more importantly not acknowledging his mistake when I complained that it was way over cooked/ burnt. Obviously they were very aware of the mistake and were too cheap to give me a properly cooked burger or to take it off the bill. Also on my way out I spotted a burger being served that looked way better and was certainly not over cooked. I guess the cook was more careful after mine. Stay away they are too cheap and not honest when they do...
Read moreNew #1 Brunch Spot on the Danforth! Amazing Chef Pauline and Manager Jimmy make this a brunch you won't forget. Highly recommmend you start with a coffee martini - Jimmy makes only the best (and isn't too hard on the eyes either!) We had the Peameal Katsu on a bun - crispy, heavenly peameal paired with a savory coleslaw on a homemade melt-in-your-mouth bun. And the fries! Best I've ever had bar none. My dining partner had the eggs forestiere - a scintillating twist on eggs Benedict with wild mushrooms finishing in an exquisite umami flavour. Dessert was exceptional - sticky toffee pudding is light, airy and divine and completely made on-site. Overall, ambiance is very chill with an upscale gastropub vibe. Will definitely come back again and again. Thanks for all the mimosas Jimmy - and thanks to the lovely Amore for putting up with us,...
