Ricarda’s Toronto

Great service and delicious food! Always have a great experience at Ricarda’s

The Jazzy Brunch on Sunday was amazing! Would definitely go back!

We loved the brunch buffet. Service was on another level, the staff is really friendly!

Always a pleasure to dine here. Great and unusual turkey dish as well as yummy quinoa bowl. And their birthday special is hard to beat! On top of all this the ambiance and service is truly excellent.
Planning our company Christmas lunch there.

It was an amazing birthday celebration for my dad, from beginning to end! The hostess was friendly, came back to check up on us and my dad to make sure he was enjoying himself. Our server, Christopher, was lovely and gave us a tour, and came by to surprise my dad with a birthday cake and candle, while the wonderful trio jazz band played “Happy Birthday”. Best part was that my dad turned 74this year, so he got 74% off his meal with Ricarda’s birthday special. Love it!

And near the end, when the fluffy pancakes ran out, I asked the pancake station cook if there were any more, he surprised me by having the chef especially make me some special lemon ricotta pancakes, that they don’t usually have on Sunday brunch days. It was so sweet of him and I enjoyed it with the airiest fresh vanilla bean whipped cream (you can see the vanilla bean black dots in it!) and wild blueberry compote. It tasted like cloud 9! Needless to say, the service was fantastic!

Rest of the food was great as always, oysters were fresh, foie gras was tasty. Only thing that could’ve made it perfect was if the hot carving stations with the prime rib, porchetta and glazed salmon were hotter, and the meats more tender. Other than that, I can always count on Ricarda’s for a good time and the best Sunday brunch ever!

Wonderful experience dining with the family. Executive Chef came out and gave a special treat for my young daughter. Was a nice, special touch.

Keep up the great work! The server, Jacques I believe, was very helpful and service was outstanding.

We’ve really enjoyed out Thanksgiving brunch at Ricarda’s. In addition to the traditional Thanksgiving dishes there was a wide selection of other brunch food, including omelet, crepes and pasta stations, seafood station and other salads and hot dishes. There was also an excellent offering of pastries and deserts and we were given a pumpkin pie to take home with us, which was a nice surprise. We are looking forward to going back to Ricarda’s again soon!

Great meal at Ricarda’s! Delicious food, fantastic service and a beautiful atmosphere. We highly recommend.

Beautiful location. Knowledgable an unhurried service. Food was pretty good. Appreciate the smaller portion sizes.

A perfect place for lunch - the food was delicious and not to heavy and the atmosphere was perfect!

Fabulous place with amazing jazz band, excellent food and a supervised play area for children- an absolute dream so close to home!

Delish with great ambience! Drinks are quite expensive, but I’d definitely go again!

Enjoyed dinner here - sat on patio - wine prices a bit steep, but that was the only negative

Ricarda's is always a great time. The service, the food and the atmosphere are all phenomenal. My family comes to Toronto every summer, and we always come here at least once during our stay. We actually tried the brunch this time, and it was delicious. The pancakes and French toast are not to be missed!

Fresh and delicious!!! Excellent service!!!

Tapas menu on Tuesdays - initially we were a bit disappointed that the full menu was not available but we were pleasantly surprised at the flavours of the tapas offerings and we enjoyed the full range of dishes. Desserts were great too! Will definitely have to come back!

Unfortunately it was ‘tapas Tuesday’ and we weren’t alerted we couldn’t order from the full menu we’d planned on online in advance. The tapas were not good at all, portions were very small for the price and not what we wanted. Service was slow and flighty despite her having like 2 other tables in the restaurant. We asked for bread for the table - I mean we were excited they have a bakery in house and were told we couldn’t even have that. I mean why even open on Tuesday if that’s all you offer. Also, it was their birthday celebration- I got an email saying they would ‘pop a bottle for you’ somehow that translated into one glass each - not a full bottle. I call false advertising.

Everything was very nice. Good food great service. Very nice ambiance. I will definitely return & recommend Ricardas to friends

Will def be back. I loved the concept with the small portions as it kept the quality up and also maybe it possible to try lots of dif things without feeling like you had to be rolled out. The quality of the food was def good. We brought kids and having the childcare was huge - Ruth felt like family - very attentive and just nice and good at what she does. Not usually comfortable leaving my child with people. Awesome food. Will absolutely be back very very soon!

The servers were all very nice and approachable. However, for a $60 per person meal, I was a bit disappointed to find that some of the bread and seafood not fresh. The eggs benedict and dessert selection were the star of the show, while the main course items seemed a bit lacking. The Jazz was very nice and definitely gave the dining experience an upbeat vibe. Overall, great for a birthday get together or an informal meeting.

Great food, great atmosphere, great value. Would recommend to a friend!

Nice summerlicious lunch beautiful and trendy surroundings! The food was mostly good and nicely presented, but the pasta with squid ink was a bit of a disappointment because it was bland with no hint of squid ink taste, and there was hardly any sauce coating it to add taste.

Always a delightful experience weather a special occasion or not. This particular lunch with out-of-town friends was wonderful with good food and service. And for special occasions their birthday offer can’t be beat!

I booked Ricardas for summerlicious lunch with my team. Some of my team members ordered the Mussels, chorizo and squid ink mafalda. When the order came there were no mussels. We asked the waitress to double check and she actually looked surprised that our dishes were missing mussels. She soon came back and informed us that they ran out of mussels and instead they added more chorizo to replace the protein. They didn't bother to inform us of this change until we asked?!? Maybe if we knew earlier we would've changed the order or at least agree to eat more chorizo. Although I really don't think they added more of it either. It sure did not look like it. Of course the waitress apologized and offered free coffee. But I think they should've comped our meal. Poor customer service.

Birthday celebration for my m

We visited for Summerlicious and it was an exceptional value. Service was a bit lagging, which was likely due to how busy it was, but perhaps it should be staffed a little more for something as busy as Summerlicious. The wine pairing add on was a really nice touch, and their selection is good. Presentation of the food was excellent, and the little microgreens they added to their dishes added a pop of flavour and elevated their dish in a way I've not seen microgreens accomplish. Their dacquoise was divine.

Overall, a very well run ship, and I'd certainly like to come back to try their regular menu, which looks great.

The steak for summerlicious was perfect. Both my friend and I got it medium, and it was super juicy. The summerlicious desert Torte was amazing. We tried the Almond cake and the ChocolateTorte and the Torte was our favorite. I got a nice table by the window to celebrate my friend's birthday and it was a fantastic experience. Our server Zoe was perfect with checking in on how we were doing with our food. 10/10 would go again.

I booked for Summerlicious but only serves brunch on weekends?!

Good food, excellent service, nice place.

Amazing food, prompt service, and amazing interior.

Both food and service were great! Will definitely go again.

Great food, service, and atmosphere. Thank you for being part of summerlicious or else I wouldn’t have found you!

Great location!
Very friendly staff, knows the menu, can give good recommendations, cheerful atmosphere.
Will come again.

Not usually a big fan of summerlicious as I feel the dishes are not representative of what the restaurant has to offer but this was not the case at Ricardas! Everything was delicious. Service was excellent and we even tried the Winelicious which was $19. The panna cotta could have been creamier but as it's GF I couldn't complain.

always a great place to return to. So visually stunning and food to match

Great food, loved the lobster risotto. Portions could be a little bigger but overall a great experience and outstanding service.

Food and ambience were great for lunch time. 0ur server was lovely but we felt as if we were forgotten. People came and went around us while we waited and waited for our food, both for the first course and then between courses. It wasn't even particularly busy. We just got 'a thank you for your pateince' no apology. Our table was booked for noon and we were still waiting for food at 1:20pm. It was the summerlicious menu. Hoping it was a one off.

Summerlicious menu was outstanding. Unique selection. Loved the Wineilicious offering too !!

Went to Ricarda’s to try their Summerlicious menu. Outstanding food and great wine recommendations by the server.
