About this restaurant

Charming
Neighbourhood gem
Good for special occasions

The multi-faceted Café ZUZU located in Regent Park is home to a beautiful full-service restaurant, a morning café with Italian pastry & innovative beverages, co-working space, retail selection & bottle shop, where our guests can come to relax and escape the everyday.

Our retro-inspired restaurant boasts three menus; Brunch on the weekends from Friday-Sunday, as well as our Dinner Menu and Happy Hour menu from Wednesday-Sunday evening.

Our Brunch menu is one of the best in the city, with many favourite dishes including our famous Breakfast Sandwiches, Smoked Salmon plate, Eggs in Benedetto, Eggs in Purgatory, and of course a crowd-favourite, the ZUZU Burger.

Our Dinner menu has many Italian classic dishes including favourites like the Spicy Rigatoni alla Vodka, Chicken Milanese, Mozzarella Sticks, and more.

Our Happy Hour has an amazing value with both food and drink items starting at $5!

We welcome and look forward to hosting you in our dining room soon!

Food was over priced, and the ingredients didn’t go well together. The egg with lentils was of poorest quality, and the omlete was too dry. Would only recommend the Semolina pancakes, those were fluffy, light and quite delicious!
