We enjoyed an excellent meal. The Seabass catch of the day was perfectly cooked, moist and flavourful. The miso soup was excellent as well. Two of us ordered the rib eye steak which was delicious. The truffle fries are positively addictive. Staff is very attentive but not intrusive. We had an exceptional experience.

Small restaurant that specializes in modern Japanese cuisine.

We booked out the full restaurant for a group of 15 given its a very small place. The raw sashimi here is some of the best I've had in the city. The other dishes were well done as well - well cooked, plated and good flavours.

The best pork cutlet and pork steak I've had. Unfortunately the owner informed us that they no longer serve pork items. However, everything else is great as well. The kombucha matches very well with many of the menu items.
The service is very good and the staff would spend time to explain each selection of meat and cooking method.

The staff there are very dishonest and disrespectful people.
They would fake it until they will make it so they can satisfy their patrons with lies

Staff were friendly and took the time to explain the menu. Food was delicious and full of flavor. Would come again.

We wanted to try items on their new menu and it did not disappoint.

I had their lobster udon which was very flavourful and delicious- I drank all of the broth! The grilled scallop was very buttery and chunky- an excellent recommendation from the waitress. She was very helpful with helping me choose what to order. The shrimp skewer was nice as it had a nice shrimp flavour. I would definitely order these items again.

Their seating is very comfortable and clean. With the soft music in the background, it was a relaxing and enjoyable experience overall!:)

Delicious food, friendly and attentive staff and owners! Each dish was perfectly prepared, with beautiful plating and delicious. Their crispy soft shell crab sandwich with truffle fries was amazing! Chicken wings and breaded giant shrimp were also fantastic! Rich and flavorful French onion soup, chicken noodle soup, and Lobster Bisque were all perfect for a chilly day!

We came for lunch about 3 weeks ago, just one day after the restaurant changed their menu. I had read the good reviews about their pork & osso bucco dishes, but did not realize their menu changed until we arrived at the restaurant. I was disappointed that they no longer had the pork cutlet and osso bucco, but was fortunate that they still had some remaining berkshire pork chops.

The food overall was good. We ordered the pork chops, the salmon burger, the hermit burger, fish fillet burger, spaghetti bolognese, onion soup, breaded oysters & truffle fries. The burgers were tasty, especially the salmon burger. The soft-shell crab and the breading of the oysters were light and crispy, though the fries were rather plain. Spaghetti was also good. The quality of the pork chops was great, though I found the pork chops themselves a bit overcooked. Probably was my own fault for going with medium, instead of medium-rare. Taste-wise, it lacked the flavour I had hoped for, as seasoning was basically just salt and pepper.

The restaurant is clean and modern, though there is limited seating. Service was excellent. I had great expectations going in, but the menu change was a big disappointment. With an already small menu, they also didn't have lobster bisque and the braised ox tail. While I understand that the menu change was done to accommodate the clientele of the area, it is unfortunate that the removed items were completely taken off the menu. I noticed that F&L has updated their menu again, but I don't think I will make the 40-minute drive to try it out again.

Offers a diverse variety of delicious food, excellent service, and a comforting and cozy atmosphere. The amount of care put into the recipes, dish preparation, and ingredient quality was obvious from a glance, and the service was just as attentive and considerate. I particularly enjoyed the seafood dishes such as the lobster bisque and lobster rolls.
I had an excellent dining experience and would definitely like to come again some time.

Fantastic restaurant with friendly staff and absolutely delicious food on the menu! I came here twice with my husband and friends, and all of us enjoyed our meals, especially their Iberico and Berkshire Pork dish - to die for! Their appetizers were also creative and delicious - can tell that they use good quality food! The restaurant itself does not have too many tables, the ambience is modern, intimate and quiet. Definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone!

Highly recommend this small and cozy unique mom-and-pop restaurant. The menu had a great variety of appetizers and mains. We had started with the lobster bisque and fried oysters, and for mains had the steak with truffle fries, dry aged pork steak with seasonal veggies. Everything was flavorful and tasted very fresh.

The staff were also very friendly and attended to our table throughout the service. They were more than happy to make recommendations about the dishes and explain to us the differences between the steaks and how they were made.

An absolute gem in this busy Scarborough neighbouhood and we definetly look forward to going back soon!

We had the most wonderful time with the most wonderful people having the most wonderfully prepared dishes by the most wonderful restaurant named Fish & Loaf! This is a MUST visit restaurant near the Golden Mile mall on 41 Lebovic Ave. High quality 40 day aged Steaks from ribeye to wagyu and 40 days aged pork steak from Spain, England and Australia! Come hungry!?

We had a 6: 30pm reservation and was seated on time. The chicken noodle soup was fantastic. Dry aged ribeye was juicy and tender. Osso bucco with gremolata was delicious and fresh. The dishes were wonderful.

The server was friendly and did well with their recommendations. They followed up to make sure we were happy with our food. The people who work here take care to ensure that the dishes will keep you coming back for more.

The atmosphere felt comfortable. We enjoyed all our dishes and the black currant and lime kombucha which was recommended by our server was wonderful.

My friends and I came a few days ago for lunch. It was very nice. The decor was nice. The food was very delicious. We had scallop (sashimi and grilled), steak, cumin lamb on a bun. We tried their skewers too. It was very enjoyable. Definitely coming back!

First time trying out dry aged Iberico pork steak, it was absolutely delicious! So juicy and tender! I also really enjoyed the aged beef croquette. It’s not easy to find this appetizer in Toronto and I’m glad to find it on their menu! Will definitely go back again to try out their new menu.

Finally, have an opportunity to join this soft opening. I've started with lobster bisquewhich's perfectly tasty. Chef John's prepared Iberico pork steak as main course, tasted very delicious, he did a great job
05 April 2023 20:44
I love the food there so much. They taste pretty good. I love the dry aged iberico Pork steak very much. It tasted sososo good. I love the atmosphere there, very cozy. Just place little bit far from my home. Hope one day they can open another one north of the city. High recommended.

One of the best place I have dined in. Food was delicious. Service was good. Little gem in the neighbourhood.

We dropped by this restaurant before catching a movie and ordered the Hermit burger, Striploin steak, French onion soup and Chicken noodle soup. Everything was really good especially the Hermit burger which was AMAZING. The price is decent considering the quality of the food. The sides that you get with each dish (wild rice, aged beef croquettes) were really tasty too.

There is a new and trendy restaurant in Scarborough that has been opened for a few weeks now: Fish & Loaf Kitchen. The atmosphere and décor is quite nice. The upstairs dining area is cozy, enough to fit about 24 people. Perfect also for private gathering & parties. Staff was very attentive and welcoming. Service was excellent & our waitress was a gem. It was way over my expectations

My group started off with appetizers such as their lobster bisque, hand cut truffle fries & breaded tiger shrimps. Lobster bisque had a lot of meat. The breaded shrimps, battered in Japanese panko bread crumbs, were not oily nor overcooked and the truffle fries, our group couldn't stop devouring it. That was how good they were.

For our mains, two people at our table favored the Iberico Pork Steak - Dry Aged 28 days. This dish came highly recommended by our delightful waitress. Because it was dry aged 28 days, no wonder it was so tender and delicious! Go with medium. You won't regret it! I originally ordered truffle fries as my side but since our group had it as a shared appetizer already, it was highly recommended to pair it with their mashed potatoes instead. Normally, I do not opt for mashed potatoes as not a lot of establishments know how to make it, but Fish and Loaf mashed potato was so divine, light & fluffy. The parsnip really complimented well the mashed potatoes. Another great suggestion by the staff. Thumbs up!

Osso Buco with Gremolta was such a tender Veal Shank! I really enjoyed savoring the dish too, especially with the pairing with their special gremolata sauce that was freshly prepared with the mortar and pestle. Never tasted gremolata sauce before. The portion of the dish was large too.

Presentation of the dishes still need to be worked on as the dishes do not look attractive at first glance but overall they are off to a good start. Pricing is reasonable for what is being offered.

Fish & Loaf Kitchen menus may vary. Please visit their website for updates & changes. And great news, they are now opened for lunch, drinks & pastries! Can't wait to go back and try their new items. Reservations is a must as this place will get busy as word gets out

Food was delicious and service was excellent and warm. Enjoyed the Osso Buco which was rich - especially the marrow! Also liked the fried oysters and grass fed ribeye which was cooked to perfect doneness. Highly recommended if you’re looking to try new restaurants in the area!

I rarely give 5 stars on a restaurant. This is an exception.
This restaurant does not only serve you good and tasty food. This one also takes care of your health. I can see the chef trying so hard to balance out the level of tastiness and healthiness on the food they serve.

One good example will be on the soup. You will never find a less salty but tasty soup in this business. Fish & Loaf can definitely fulfil this impossible request. From this, you can see the uniqueness here.

Since it is a small restaurant, you can almost request anything which can be custom made for you in order to satisfy your need. All dishes are good as I have been here since twice. The environment is cozy and lovely.

Please give them a try in order to support such a revolutionary restaurant located in Toronto.

Had a great time and dining experience at Fish and Loaf! Delicious food, comfortable atmosphere and attentive service. Love how they will have some new upcoming dry aged meats that will be ready soon. Can't wait to go and try the other dishes soon.

The delicious food that we tried:
Chicken noodle soup - Kid approved! He finished his portion and wanted more!
Lobster bisque - Flavour was just right and with lobster chunks.
Breaded tiger shrimp - Sauce was a nice touch.
Soft shell crab sandwich - Good complement of burger and sauce to bring out the soft shell crab. Truffle fries are always welcome addition.
Tomahawk pork cutlet - Huge portion and the crispy pork cutlet was done just right. Sides were a good complement.
Dry aged iberico pork steak - My favourite of this whole meal! So juicy and delicious

We finally got a chance to come to this little gem to try their food tonight. The food was amazing. First, we started with the appetizer lobster bisque, chicken noodle soup, and breaded tiger shrimps. They taste good. It is not salty compared to other restaurants and definitely worth a try. The tomahawk port culet was juicy and tender. The portion is huge. The soft shell crab sandwich was tasty with the combination of the sauce and truffle fries. The dry age iberico pork steak was fantastic and it was cooked to perfection. I will definitely come back again to try out their dry age ribeye steak next time.
