Lovely place. I had the veggie omelette with avocado and a cortado, and it was great. But the service was fairly average (I had to wait quite a while for the menu and eventually had to ask for it, and it was the same for water and condiments).

Absolutely unforgettable stay at the Victoria Hotel, 56 Yonge Street.
Some hotels are just places where you sleep. This one is different. It has a soul, and that soul comes from the people.
Maria, Liwam, Feven, Mischa, Julia, and of course Emeline, also known as Meuh-Meuh, made the whole experience feel warm, funny, human and genuinely special.
Maria was fantastic from the very beginning. Liwam has such a calm and classy presence. Feven is impossible to forget, full of personality and good energy. Mischa makes you feel welcome straight away. Julia was lovely too, with that perfect discreet touch.
And Emeline, Meuh-Meuh, is simply the heart of the place. You can feel when a team is well led, and here it shows.
A huge mention as well to Aliud in the kitchen. The food was genuinely excellent, not “good for a hotel”, just properly good. Real flavour, real care, real pleasure.
The Victoria Hotel is charming, perfectly located, and full of people who actually care about what they do. Toronto can feel like a big city, but this place makes it feel personal.
I would recommend it to anyone. Come for the location, stay for the team, and leave with the feeling that you found something special.

Had brunch here today with a friend and it was great! Our server, Ola, was very attentive and kind. He offered us multiple options, asked our preferences and made sure that we had a great experience. Thank you! 😁
