    A great brunch! We tried sweet crepes, shakshouka and salmon Benedict, with excellent coffee, a cheerful waitress, and a very welcoming, warm vibe on a cold Toronto afternoon.

    The food at Ricarda’s is consistently excellent, but unfortunately, the same can’t be said about the service. I’ve visited twice in the last two months, and the service has noticeably declined. During my most recent visit, we had to change seats multiple times because the tables were wobbly. On top of that, our server was inattentive and failed to check on us throughout our meal. It was only thanks to the manager, who eventually stepped in to assist, that our experience was somewhat salvaged. This was especially disappointing given that the restaurant wasn’t very busy at the time, yet the service fell short of expectations.

    The food was good, ambiance nice! Our server was really not good. She didn’t come to greet the table for 25 minutes (thankfully the floor manager took our drink orders at the start) and we had to eventually flag her down after she walked by many times, to ask if she was our server and put in our food order. She did not check in on our meal or ask us if we wanted more drinks or water refills, and it wasn’t that busy. We were a group of friends reuniting after several years and celebrating a birthday, we would have purchased much more if there was more consistent, and positive service.

    I was supposed to have lunch in a different place and saw Ricarda's on my way there. When I got to the place I really didn't like it and made a quick reservation to Ricarda's. I am so glad I did! The staff was wonderful, the place was beautiful, prices were approachable and I could talk to my friend instead of shouting over music. Really loved it, I would 10/10 recommend
