This classic supper club boasts live performances every night, from Tuesday through Saturday. Bistro-style cuisine, prepared in the traditional French technique, with ingredients from all over the world, prepared with passion by our Executive Chef, Roshan Vermezyari.

Equipped with another stage and a full bar, the "Jazz Cellar" has an outdoor area that is licensed for 45 guests (closed in the winter), and an indoor area that holds 55 comfortably, year-round.

With a "fantastic atmosphere" and "delicious food," it's ideal for a night out in Toronto. While music lovers rave about the live performances, some note the volume can be high. Perfect for pre-theatre dining.

Tuesday nights are particularly special with James Clayton on the piano and accepting requests. The serving staff are very attentive and ensure that you are on your way in good time to catch your theatre time. No doubt Jazz Bistro is a wonderful evening experience to take in a full Jazz evening with family and friends.

The live music was really good on Nov 26. The performer was really talented, the ambience and drinks were great. The food was ... interesting. Toronto has a great food scene with many options for this price point. My partner had the veal cheek pasta, the best thing was the slow cooked veal, the grapes and dried tomato were an odd addition. From a mushroom lover; the mushroom gnocchi was greasy, the gnocchi was pillowy but couldn't hold onto the oily mushroom pesto-ish sauce. The chicken fettuccine was ok. The chocolate cake was meh. Overall the food was just meh; I would not want to go back for dinner, but drinks and live music were wonderful. I hope the menu does a Toronto tourist destination justice soon; if I weren't from here I'd be disappointed with the food scene, Jack Astor's has better pasta and dessert flavors than this recent food adventure. :-( The servers and service was quick attentive which was lovely.
