Best Cozy Restaurants in Bloor West Village

10/10 experience, the service was warm and welcoming and I came in as a solo diner and they were able to make smaller portions of different apps so I could try them! The wine was excellent, the food exceeded expectations—that pan con tomate on homemade sourdough had no business blowing me away like that. Get the cake!!!!!!!

Linny's offers the whole package. A unique and elegantly designed space with an atmosphere that takes you back to the 50's, paired with warm service and delicious food. We started with the challah service, which is baked daily and served with a delicious housemade jam that apparently changes with the seasons. After that, a few noshes; the fresh house salad tossed with bulgar and champagne vinegraite, king salmon served with crispy potato latkes, and the unexpectedly delightful kasha bows pasta, which was complimented perfectly by the addition of truffles. For our mains, we enjoyed a combination of perfectly cooked hanger steak, mushroom crepe, and the crunchiest fries on ossington. The cabbage with beemster cheese was also *chefs kiss* 👌 Our server Vanessa and the whole team was very friendly, and we can't wait to come back. PS. The babka dessert was incredible, but also try the apple cake with a scoop of their vanilla ice cream for good measure.

We were so WOWED with the Bee Gee night at the Old Mill last night. Amazing performsnce! Fantastic food. Great service and beautiful venue. It was like reliving the happy times of the 70s. Such an upbeat crowd… With gratitude, 🦋💕🌲Rosemarie and Stephen Taylor

Our server was amazing in recommending options that accommodated my dietary restrictions which aren’t an easy feat in an Italian restaurant as I’m intolerant to tomatoes, peppers, gluten, cream and cheese. The bass crudo, gluten free pappardelle with mushrooms and chocolate sorbetto affogato was incredible! I’d definitely go back. The handmade gluten free pasta alone is worth a trip back. SO GOOD! My dining partner thoroughly enjoyed her meal as well.

If you're looking for a unique and memorable experience that combines a hauntingly good atmosphere with absolutely delicious food, the Haunted High Tea at the Old Mill Toronto is a must! From the moment we walked into the historic venue, the setting was perfect – beautifully decorated with gothic accents, flickering candles, and just the right amount of eerie vibes to get you in the Halloween spirit. You could feel the history of the building, which only added to the whole ghostly charm! The tea selection was fantastic, with a variety of flavors that catered to every taste, from classic Earl Grey to a Peaches and Cream blend. The food was where the experience truly shined – each tier of goodies was as delightful as it was spooky. The sandwiches and desserts were crafted with care, and the flavours were rich, fresh, and perfectly balanced. Special shout-out to the scones, which were a wild ride for my tastebuds! Cheese and pumpkin?! Ube and white chocolate?! How do they come up with this? Every single bite was delicious and they even catered to my gluten free diet! The staff really got into the theme, too, adding a fun and playful element to the experience. They shared stories of the Old Mill's "haunted history," which was a great touch and made everything feel authentic. Overall, it was such a cool event that perfectly captured the spooky season while delivering an elevated, gourmet high tea experience. I’d highly recommend the Haunted High Tea to anyone looking for a unique, memorable way to celebrate Halloween or simply enjoy a fantastic tea service in a unique, historic setting. 👻🍂🫖
