About this restaurant

Nestled in the heart of Toronto’s Annex, Insomnia Restaurant & Lounge has become a beloved neighborhood spot known for its delicious food and friendly service. For early risers, Insomnia’s famous brunch—recently voted 'Best Brunch' by Now Magazine's 'Best of TO - Reader's Choice'—is a local favorite. Enjoy a bustling atmosphere filled with the aroma of both traditional and unique dishes. Pair your meal with our signature coffee or indulge in one of our refreshing morning cocktails. If you’re more of a night owl, our extensive dinner menu offers a range of options to take you into the evening, with daily drink specials and a late-night menu starting soon after. We were also named 'Best Late Night Restaurant' by Now Magazine's 'Best of TO - Reader's Choice,' and our kitchen stays open until 2am, 7 days a week, ensuring you won't go hungry no matter the hour. Welcome to your new favorite spot. Welcome to Insomnia.

The home fries that were provided with my brush were hard and filled with oil. There were one few pieces of fresh looking homefries. Same goes for the English muffin it was drenched in butter. The other people who were sitting next to me got perfect looking fries, but mine didn’t even look appealing. The ambiance was very lively, and the staff were friendly. I really enjoyed their coffee.

Really nice server. Once we told her we had a show to attend she made sure we got out in time. Had good menu recommendations. Food was delicious, portions were great. Cocktail was awesome. French 75 I think it was. Really enjoyed our meal, would recommend to others!
