Best Casual Restaurants in Bloor West Village

Had an incredible time at General Public. The service and vibes were amazing and memorable. Jen Agg even filled our water glasses and served us desert ☺️. The caviar with mini Yorkshires is a dish we’ll be thinking about for a while - so delicious, as was the NY strip and chips. Definitely a top restaurant in the city and one that I’d recommend. CNN

One of my favorite Arabic restaurants in Toronto. Please train your waiters to be mindful when approaching table to ask questions or make comments or tell us anything. Our waitress literally every single time came and interrupted us mid-sentence. If it was a casual restaurant with casual prices that’s fine but you are an upmarket restaurant and waiters should not behave like their schedule or their efficiency and speed should come at the expense of customers’ experience and socializing

Sebastian, our sever was amazing throughout the dinner. It was our anniversary and he was nice to even offer a glass of bubbly at the end of the meal to celebrate as we were stuffed with all the yummy food.

We absolutely LOVED our experience at Giulietta. My fiancé and I went for my birthday and sat at the bar. Everything was beautiful and TJ the bartender was super knowledgeable and so fun! He helped us with cocktail & wine choices and let us know all of his favourite things on the menu. He also went above and beyond when I was floored by the olive oil - he got the bottle from the kitchen so I could take a picture and find it for home! We had the burrata & fired artichoke to start (do not miss the burrata!!), the lobster risotto (one of the best I’ve had) the chestnut ravioli and Giulietta pizza - all fab! Finished off with the Torta Della Nonna. We’ll be back!

I finally visited Rasa last night with my girlfriend after hearing so many great recommendations, and it did not disappoint! We opted for the $80 tasting menu, and it was absolutely worth it. This place is proof that amazing food doesn’t need to rely on overcomplicated recipes or fancy ingredients. Every dish was thoughtfully paired, and the simple yet skillful preparations delivered incredible flavors. I’m already looking forward to going back to explore more of their menu. Highly recommend!
