About the restaurant

Warm hospitality, exceptional cuisine and unparalleled service - these are the hallmarks of a great dining experience and that's what the team at e11even promises to our guests.

Located at the corner of York and Bremner, e11even features a menu of updated North American classics. Favourites such as crab cakes, jumbo shrimp cocktails, roast chicken, fresh fish and dry-aged steaks are complemented by classic sides like grilled asparagus, truffled parmesan fries and truffled mac and cheese. Nostalgic desserts complete the experience and include such favourites as sticky toffee pudding and warm nut chocolate brownie.

With plush leather banquettes, wooden table tops, and antique mirrors, e11even offers a modern, yet comfortable Rockwell-inspired design. A communal table made from excavated hemlock timbers in the bar area, is the perfect place to gather with friends while sampling some of our specialty cocktails.

I LOVE this place! The food is beyond delicious. I often order extra humous and falafels to take home. It is great for breakfast and lunch. Libby

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.

Home to the legendary Blueberry Hill Pancakes stack - We offer a fresh perspective on the classic neighbourhood eatery, throwing back to a simpler, more wholesome time when eating out was fun, approachable and most importantly, accessible. It brings patrons back to the mid-twentieth century – an era defined by a feel-good, optimistic mentality that influenced popular culture and food. Think Leave it to Beaver, Superbad, and Saved By The Bell came together in the most epic way possible.

We had lovely meals and drinks served by amazing staff. The venue looks good but could perhaps do with a refresher. Would definitely recommend to friends.
