Bar Centrale

My husband and I had a wonderful early dinner here. The specialty cocktails were excellent as were the mains. I had pasta olio and pepe and my husband had the gnocchi. The bread was also delicious.

Located in Rosedale / Summerhill on Yonge, Café Centrale is on the ground floor just under Terroni. A long narrow strip with lots of a window, some small banquets and a few bar seats, Centrale is a small cozy local joint.

We enjoyed a breakfast of Yogurt Granola (good.nothing special), Avocado Toast (also good), French Toast (very good but a small portion for the cost), and Scrambled Eggs with Tartufo (also good).

Meanwhile, if you just want a coffee and pastry to go there are number of options and quite a few patrons were in and out picking something up to go. Overall the service was attentive and friendly with the meal coming relatively quickly. Enjoy!

The food is wonderful. But the owners are picky about who can deliver their food, no bikes, or scooters only cars can deliver. They would add cheese to a dish they believe isn’t worth of the addition. They won’t cut your pizza. People have brought their own pizza cutter from home. I’ve visited Italy more than once and they will say this dish is meant not to have cheese but will serve you the cheese if that’s your preference. As they still want the paying customers. But not these guys. But their food is great so as long as you can accept their picking opinions then it’s worth it. But don’t good if u expect them to cater to your tastes or needs as they won’t. They won’t remove items from a dish. They won’t add items to a dish. The dish comes how they plan it to come. This’s why I only gave a 3 as they aren’t customer friendly.

Food was pretty average, but they kicked me out of the table after an hour even though other tables were there before I was and were still allowed to stay.

Brilliant service! Samantha really took care of us, very knowledgeable about the wine selection and extremely helpful!

Not what it was pre-pandemic. Bolognese was cold. Had to be returned. I had my main at this point so ate while hubby watched…sorry. Pizza was fairly greasy sausage and bland Gorgonzola. Like eating bland fat on a pizza crust. Desserts were good. Wine good. Not rushing back. Drafty window seat. Kind of bummed it wasn’t better. Very expensive.

Came here for a friends Birthday and I was thoroughly impressed. Really nice atmosphere and great service as well with some properly prepared cocktails made for an enjoyable night. We just tried a bunch of appetizers and everything was spot on made with care and quality ingredients and tasted great too so I’ll be sure to return again one day for the full dinner experience
