    Excellent spot of a nice business lunch. Great atmosphere and solid food but quiet enough for conversation. Would recommend for anyone looking for a nice spot that’s close to (but a bit away from) the financial district!

    The food was delicious and we were kindly directed to a wheelchair accessible entry. Unfortunately, after very much enjoying our meals (Saturday brunch) we ordered lattes that took 1/2 an hour to come to table (it was not busy at the time). The comped lattes, apology, and croissants to go were very much appreciated so we will definitely try again in hopes that this was an isolated incident.

    This has become the go-to spot for me when heading into Toronto with family and friends. Everyone has loved it. The food is fresh, perfectly portioned, and seasoned amazingly well - we noticed that salt and pepper weren't on any tables and, to be honest, the food didn't need any additional seasoning.

    The ambiance is perfect. Amazing interior which feels luxurious but cozy. The breakfast deal $10 before 10am is great value. My egg Benny was a little too undercooked (the whites were runny) but it was still delicious. I would definitely go back to check out the other menu items!

    Went for a brunch. Hostess was unprofessional, there was miscommunication issues. We weren’t walked to table she just pointed the table and we walked ourselves,Server was friendly however didn’t touch the table much, we had to go and ask another server for the bill.Our food was dropped another table first which it happens but after bad first impression at the door I just want to mention it. Beef short rip has came room temperature looked little bit small portion to be honest. I really like shakshouka it was tasty but I don’t know if would dine in again

    My friend and I had the char with fennel puree and vegetables for lunch yesterday. While the service was great and the food was really tasty, the portion was tiny and we left the restaurant feeling hungry. I'd highly recommend increasing the portion size to ensure customers keep coming back.

    The Champagne brunch was more than we had expected. Service, ambiance and food especially was well worth the price and looking forward to returning again. Our server was the most pleasant and truly heightened our experience. Thanks Ricarda for a memorable early Mothers Day celebration for a group of childhood friends…what a great day!

    It was Easter Sunday!! Inadequate service, beginning with drinks, to start. Ordered cocktails for my Easter birthday, which took forever. Would have liked to see a nice selection of breakfast pastries, interesting desserts, on display. Bare bones, minimalistic choices. The Eggs Bendict was just okay, according to my son. My daughter’s Banana bread-French toast left her saying she will be hungry again in about an hour. The burger was very good, and my gruyere-ham croissant was bland. The truffle/parmesan fries were nice!

    This was my third time at Ricarda’s and have to say the best. The guava mimosa is as always a perfect start; a smooth flavourful Americano and eggs benny that rivals those found on Victoria Island in BC. The right amount of deliciously roasted potatoes and a salad that is always fresh and crisp (impressive given we aren’t in vegetable growing season). The flavours were great and not at all salty, which I found the first two visits. Looking forward to the next time!
