This is an old school steak house, you're coming for the top quality meat. If you're a trend chaser or looking for any new meat craze, this isn't the place for you. Handsome, brisk, and efficient waiters. A steak will run you about $100 CAD. I got the filet mignon wrapped in bacon, absolutely delicious and cut through it like butter. Cooked to perfection. All steaks come with choice of fries or a chunky baked potato with topping selection done tableside. Opt for the baked potatoes. Come hungry.

Massive wine bottle selection and sommelier on hand but the by the glass menu is a bit small. Good dessert selection, I hear the cheesecake is the best but the sundae I had was also great. They have a nice digestif/aperitif menu too. Given the old school vibe, I think a couple more Amaro options would fit perfect here. 10/10 hope to come back again!

First off the staff were friendly and somewhat attentive but could do better.

The long and short of our dining experience was we will never return and suggest that this steak house should be avoided.

$27.00 for a run of the mill Caesar salad you have to be kidding, maybe $6.00 for this small portion with rock hard croutons, not a robust salad dressing topped with 2 slabs of bacon.

Asked for my Centre Cut Top Sirloin to be medium rare and it was rare with bits that were not chewable.

The BBQ Baby Back Ribs were atrocious, the meat was hard what little there was and a total waste of money. I question whether they were actually baby back ribs.

With the baked potato you were offered sour cream and what turned out to be rock hard bacon bits, not enjoyable to say the least.

We were offered the dessert menu which would have cost approximately $100.00 and we passed as we didn’t want to see how they would mess up their offerings.

I couldn’t get out of there fast enough as on top of the poor food it was maddening that this birthday dinner was totally wrecked.

I went to the place for the first time. It was a little bit hard to find because it doesn't look like a steak house on the outside. Actually, it looked more like a local pub. But once you go in, it was a very cozy and packed steak house. Once we got in, we checked our coats and was led to our table right away.

Service here wasn't the best. No one really smiling. It felt a lot like Peter Lugers in NYC where the service wanted to get a lot of your orders done quickly without much small talk.

The food was pretty good. The onion rings was disappointing. The dough was very soggy so it was not that good. The Brussel sprouts were very salty, but the actual steak was the star. Cooked perfectly and paired with the horseradish, it was the perfect blend.

The dessert was cute and delicious. I would definitely recommend it if you still have room after the steaks.

Overall, would definitely repeat.

We had an incredible time at Barberian’s. Our server CJ was fantastic. Knowledgeable, friendly and hospitable. He recommended some fantastic cuts of beef along with some delicious sides that paired perfectly.
The lamb and the bone in filet were perfectly cooked, seasoned and served.
The onion rings and fries are a fantastic addition. My favourite were the Brussels sprouts though. They are a definite must try.

Barberian’s Steakhouse remains a premier Toronto destination for a classic, high-end dining experience. Our party of four enjoyed an exceptional meal starting with the rich, crusty French onion soup and fresh steak tartare. The dry-aged porterhouse was perfectly seared and served with crisp fries, while the New York-style cheesecake with strawberry preserves provided a decadent finish. Between the top-tier service and the historic atmosphere filled with original Canadian art, it was a fantastic evening from start to finish.

House salad
Creamed spinach
Chateaubriand for two
Two glasses of wine

This place is amazing. The steak was cooked perfectly and seasoned very well. Every dish, even the salad, was delicious. I highly recommend Barberian’s if you want to try a great steakhouse. Reservations are recommended.

They have hundreds of wine selections, which is great if you know about wines.

It’s in a great location, right in downtown Toronto.

However, the tables are a little close together, so it’s not the best place to have a conversation. It was pretty noisy even without background music.

The only minor issue was about with a server. He tried to pick up my dishes couple of times without any notice, I hadn’t finished yet. I understood it was quite busy and loud.
But should be more careful!

Since 1959, Barberian’s Steak House has defined the classic Toronto steakhouse experience.

We started with one of the best steak tartare’s I’ve ever had, freshly seasoned, alongside an outstanding Caesar salad topped with thick-cut seared bacon that added the perfect smoky richness. The massive onion rings were golden, crisp, and a meal itself.

For mains, the 16-ounce rib steak with fries was cooked exactly as ordered — deeply flavorful, tender, and beautifully seared Chicago style to my liking. The side of mushrooms was rich and buttery, pairing perfectly with the steak. The half rack of lamb was equally impressive: super tender, melt in your mouth and cooked to a perfect rarity.

Dessert finished the night with a chocolate mousse layered in a rich white and dark chocolate shell, alongside warm apple beignets served with vanilla ice cream — the perfect sweet ending followed with an espresso.

Overall a fantastic, one of one special experience.
Well done!

5/5. Food was absolutely delicious. We tried the Chateaubriand and the meat was cooked to perfection. As a tenderloin cut, it was so juicy! Fries were well salted and perfectly crispy. French onion soup was packed with melted stretchy cheese. Garlic bread was garlicky and crispy as well. The complimentary pickled vegetables was a perfect combination to cut through any greasiness throughout the meal. While it’s a pricey meal, I’d say worth what you pay for.

Atmosphere was decent - there aren’t any windows in the room we were in, but adds to the rustic feel. Tables are decently spacious and there was staff everywhere - food was served decently quickly, water was constantly filled, and plates cleared quickly. Staff was attentive and friendly. We mentioned we wanted to share the French onion soup - and it was served in two bowls. Great service. Would absolutely come back! Great spot for a special occasion or if you’re looking for a good steak night.

Absolutely amazing all around. Steak cooked to perfection (highly recommend the 32oz Porterhouse to share for two). Everything is made in house including all the desserts (killer cheesecake!). Wine list is spectacular.
Top notch attentive service.
Huge thanks to our server (Aaron I believe- hopefully that's his name, who gave us a great little post dinner tour of the beautiful wine cellar).
Highly recommended a must visit for steak lovers.

Had a great first experience at Barberian’s. Came here as a walk in during a busy holiday season but the manager was still able to accommodate with very little wait time. The french onion soup was not that good. However, the rib steak was cooked perfectly and was very tender. The servers were all very attentive. Would recommend reserving ahead of time as it gets busy during dinner time.
