Best Canadian Restaurants in Yonge and Dundas Square

A beautiful Nutcracker Tea was the perfect way for us to celebrate a very special occasion. The food was elegant, charming and delightfully delicious. This is a unique tea that follows the pattern of a traditional Afternoon Tea in the British style, but one that is delicately and artfully infused with Asian favours. All of this is served in a setting that is contemporarily stylish with an understated elegance. It is always a privilege to hear the wonderful Fazioli piano being played beneath the gorgeous chandelier. The chef was incredibly kind in preparing 2 substitute items to accommodate a very serious food allergy. If I could change anything, it would be the actual tea. For an event of this magnitude, fresh tea rather than bagged tea should be brewed and boiling water must be used. Sadly, our tea arrived only lukewarm. It is also impossible to revive a teabag with more not-hot-enough water (which we had to ask for and which took forever to arrive). Surely, at this pricepoint an additional bag could have been spared. I must admit that our service was very, very minimal. 45 minutes after we had finished every crumb and every sip, my partner finally went in search of someone to bring our bill. We were very happy to linger, truly, but that was quite a long bit of lingering, even in the lovely, lovely setting. We do look forward to another tea in the future.

The food was both inventive and delicious. My partner enjoyed the Nori-Cured Salmon while I savoured the Roasted Carrots—a perfect balance of flavours. For mains, my partner opted for the Chickpea Burger; while they felt the patty tasted slightly processed, I thoroughly enjoyed my Arctic Char, cooked to a tender and flavorful medium rare. We shared a creamy and indulgent Vanilla Custard for dessert—a sweet ending to a lovely meal. The ambiance was clean, uncluttered, and welcoming, with a vibrant yet relaxed energy. It was refreshing to dine among people fully immersed in enjoying a great meal rather than being distracted by social media. What stood out most was the exceptional hospitality. Every staff member we encountered made us feel genuinely valued as guests, and it was a special treat to meet the chef-owner, whose dedication to guest comfort and enjoyment is evident in every detail of the experience. Richmond Station is a gem I’m thrilled to have discovered, and I can’t wait to return for another memorable meal. I highly recommend it!

Good time. Service and food were very good. Nice Christmas atmosphere. Will return.

Spent a couple of nights at Pantages in Toronto, Ontario and ate at Stages our first night there. Service was excellent. It’s a beautiful place and the atmosphere was excellent. Dress attire is casual or dressy. Very clean and the food was good.

Well they didn’t know we were coming which was odd. And in fact a booking isn’t actually needed. So a bit of a waste of time and effort to make one to be honest. Just pay for VIP tickets and go.
