Cafe Landwer
I went yesterday for brunch with my kids and my 89 year old mum. We all really enjoyed it.
The place looks great with high ceilings and nice decor.
The service was friendly and helpful.
The food was great. I tried a new menu item: corn fritters. Really, rainy tasty and visually striking.
We’ll definitely be going back.
We had a brunch here with our friends for our first time.
Everything was tasty and good. The omelettes were so delicious.
The sauce of the salad also was my favorite.
The staff were attentive and nice.
The bread was so fresh which is so important to me.
The serving was also so good 😊.
Would live to try their other dishes
We had a wonderful breakfast at this restaurant today.
A special thank you to Dilara for the warm and attentive service — she truly made our morning even more enjoyable.
We were looking for something different, not just a typical standard Canadian breakfast, and this place absolutely met all our expectations. The shakshuka was incredible — we ordered two different kinds, and both were amazing. We also had the salmon eggs Benedict, and everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared.
I tried to take more photos, but honestly, we ate everything too fast because it was just that delicious.
Overall, a fantastic experience. Highly recommended!
Had an amazing experience! The Schnitzel Parmesan was absolutely delicious and is now my new favorite. Special mention to Elina, she was incredibly sweet, calm, and served us with the warmest smile. The plate were so pretty, I’m honestly obsessed! The complimentary dessert was the cherry on top. Loved it! ✨
Food
I ordered Landwer’s Shakshuka, which came in a generous portion and was very filling without feeling heavy. The flavors leaned on the mild side, making it an easy and comforting dish rather than a bold or spicy one. The tomato base was clean and straightforward but lacked a bit of depth, especially if you are expecting something more robust or punchy. There were options to choose different types of bread, and I went with the pita. The pita was easily the highlight of the dish for me, warm, soft, and perfect for scooping up the sauce. I also tried their famous iced tea, which followed the same theme of subtlety. It was refreshing, lightly sweetened, and not overpowering, making it a good pairing with the meal.
Service
The service was excellent. The staff were friendly, efficient, and professional throughout the visit. I had a reservation, which they honored without any issue, and my table was ready when I arrived. Everything felt well organized and smooth.
Ambiance
The restaurant had a lively and energetic atmosphere, with a steady buzz from the crowd. There was plenty of seating, though tables were set fairly close together, which is expected in a busy spot. The décor was clean and modern while still managing to feel warm and inviting, creating a cozy environment despite how busy it was.
We went and had our Brunch eat out on a Sunday Morning. It was our first time visiting the place, and what can i say the environment as we walked in up until we were seated was an amazing experience. Very clean, neat and fancy with classic interior giving a very vintage vibe which i LOVED. Speaking of FOOD well the pictures pretty much speak for themselves we took recommendations from our very nice, kind and friendly server Victoria 😬 She really knew her menu and was attentive to details which i appreciated very much. She even gave us a complimentary Nutella filled dessert at the end, saying cause we were so sweet to her 🥹I really like to spread positivity around every where i go, and didn’t expect anything back but nevertheless she went above and beyond with her services. As a server myself, i give my Kudos to our server Victoria ✌️ and i will MOST DEFINITELY be coming back for sure 😊 I truly 💯recommend the place! 🤗
A Vibrant & Delicious Brunch Destination!
Cafe Landwer in North York is every bit as popular as they say—and for good reason! This lively spot is a go-to for a fantastic brunch, and their famous schnitzel definitely lives up to the hype.
We tried a mix of dishes and everything was a hit. The Pesto Chicken Pappardelle was fresh and herby, while the Truffle Mushroom and Cream Pappardelle was rich, earthy, and utterly comforting. Our friends loved The Burger and the Angel Hair Rose—each plate was flavorful and beautifully prepared.
Be prepared for a crowd! This place draws people in, so arriving early is key if you want to avoid a wait. The atmosphere is energetic, the service is friendly, and the food consistently delivers.
Whether you're here for brunch, lunch, or that legendary schnitzel, Cafe Landwer is a sure bet. Can’t wait to come back and try more!
Had the opportunity for brunch at Cafe Landwer in North York. It was a beautiful September day, tons of sun, great for a patio, but we decided to stay inside as it was a tad nippy.
With so many people outside, the service staff had to keep coming in and out of the patio doors and each time it would create a vacuum and blow everything around, especially on our table. Napkins kept flying off the table, my papers kept flying off, it was a bit unwelcome and difficult to sit.
The menu is an interesting read, because I feel it doesnt describe the vibe or food well. Nothing caught my eye on paper, yet every dish that went by us in a servers hand made me ask, "what dish is that?". Its exactly that which landed me my eggs on pita dish. My partner unfortunately had been waiting almost 25min, through the start and end of a tea, only to find out the one dish she wanted which was the Berry Bliss French Toast was not available at all. I dont know how at noon on a Saturday you are already out of one of your few sweet dishes. She settled for the Arayes - think of spiced lamb burger patty shoved into a pita and grilled. Delicious.
Our server was wonderful and attentive and the vibe is very cute and café-ish. Prices were reasonable and would possibly return, but only if they had the dishes on the menu we wanted ans weren't sold out.
I loved this place! The restaurant’s style is super cool and stylish, and the staff are genuinely kind. Even though we arrived during a busy time, they were thoughtful enough to change our table, and when the food took a little longer, they kept checking in to make sure we were happy.
The food itself was amazing! The hummus is truly next level, it tastes just like authentic Middle Eastern hummus, and all the dishes we tried were delicious and very filling. I left completely satisfied. Such a great spot!
untrained staff. poor service with level of disdain staff has with folks that are waiting to spend their money to suport this establishment.
about time ownership trained these chaps how to treat people and groups ther suport local eateries.
they make no efforts to speed up and clean vacant tables and like.
I actually found the food very tasty very good but we did have leftovers and when you go to heat it up the next day the food is extremely oily. Specially, the chicken schnitzel very tasty but very, very oily falafel not that bad the breaded chicken pita cause it’s on a barbecue not so oily Shawarma not too bad I may give it another try but probably just for chicken skewers things that wouldn’t require a lot of oil. I know they’re famous for their chicken schnitzel, but that’s a lot of oil consumption.
We were a party of 14 the other night, in honour of a bridal shower dinner. The wait staff and management (Ash), could not have been nicer!! They worked with us to arrange table seating to our liking and the service was wonderful!! They were all extremely polite, kind and efficient. It was truly a pleasure and we would not hesitate to return! Thanks so much for such a lovely experience, it was greatly appreciated!!!
A wide variety of tasty foods offered, which must challenge the kitchen. Our favourites include, Landwer’s Shakshuka, Feta & Kalamata olives grilled sandwich, Mediterranean and Landwer’s cobb salad, Mezza platter, any hummus, Landwer’s schnitzel, grilled salmon, Landwer’s burger, pesto chicken pasta, and more. Over the last six months, we have had all the above multiple times with an overall rating of very good.
