A colleague and I walked in for lunch and ordered the Triple S which we both thought was fantastic. The Triple S is a $9 food combination of soup, salad and a sandwich. The service was friendly, fast and the venue was filled with charm and good taste. I will be sure to keep this gemstone in mind the next time I have a business lunch or dinner to reserve.

Brassaii has always been a favorite restaurant of mine, so i was a bit disappointed when i heard they had changed executive chefs. However when my husband and i went for dinner we both ordered new dishes from the menu and i have to admit we were both extremely satisfied. I had ordered the Miso baked black cod and my husband went with the pork tenderloin. My fish came with an interesting mango salsa and wasabi mash which was extremely delightful and mouth watering. My husband allowed me to sample a piece of his pork and combined with the caramelized pears and haricots jus made the flavour of the pork come alive. We both will be back in the near future to sample other new dishes like the Bacon wrapped filet of beef or the beef carpaccio. Overall their new executive chef, Bruce Woods, will be an exciting new addition to the Brassaii family.

Had dinner last night at Brassaii Bistro Lounge (461 King street West) as it is listed above incorrectly as it is west of spadina!

The new executive Chef Bruce Woods has changed the entire dinner menu and it is FANTASTIC!!!

The Salmon Tartar is so flavourful…with an asian twist! I aslo had the miso black cod with mango salsa and wasabi mash. The miso melted in my mouth.

They also have a new cocktail menu created by their resident Mixologist… jordan. (make sure you ask if he can make your cocktail for you) – the balsamic bramble was yummy!!!

i will definately come back to this place….

Brassaii Bistro Lounge hosted a celebratory dinner for the cast and filmmakers from the movie “Up in the Air” at the Toronto International Film Festival. Including actors George Clooney, Jason Bateman, Vera Farmiga, Melanie Lynskey, Anna Kendrick and director Jason Reitman. Others that came for the after party were actors Bill Murray, Amanda Seyfried and Rachelle Lefevre. It was a very cool party and the food yummy..

I used to work in the kitchen . When I left the place was being re-vamped by David Adjey. Building use to be a leather sweat-shop, and it’s beautiful on the inside. Alot of private parties/receptions are held here. Food, as far as I remember was near-perfection and pricey (upper-class stuff like Fois Gras) and desserts that are impossible to resist. (Try the apple crumble). Wide selection of wines. Don’t mind the snobby wait staff.

I attended a medium sized corporate event last week at Brassaii. It was a pretty standard size party, cocktail style, appetizers and open bar. They had everyone in the private room at the back which was perfect for the number of people that had showed up. The event went extremely smoothly. With only two bartenders they managed to get everyone a drink effortlessly and with no waiting. The staff was friendly and the room looked very inviting. The food that was passed around was incredible and there was more then enough to go around for everyone. I was so impressed that i called the next day to book our corporate Christmas party with them.

I had the yummiest martini tonight… “not your average joe” – if you love the taste of cucumber you have to try this! we sat at the bar drinking and also tried items from the new menu steamed mussels in a coconut-curry sauce with fries and also had the beef carpaccio. The new chefs cuisine is delicious.

great food, staff, service, settings, presentation and prices.

just phone ahead for brunch because they are always fr*kk*ng booked for a wedding this or a shower that.
