A great place to go if you and your friends enjoy sci-fi/fantasy/horror themes. A lot of care and effort has gone into making it a fun place to have drinks and food. The staff and service have always been friendly and accommodating. One of our group is celiac and one is vegan and we have never had an issue.
Cafe Landwer, conveniently located on the southeast side of Bloor and Yonge near the Bloor TTC stop, is an inviting spot perfect for a cozy meal or coffee break. The space is bright and airy, with large windows offering plenty of natural light and a patio for outdoor dining on pleasant days. The atmosphere strikes a balance between bustling energy and comfort, making it an enjoyable place to relax or catch up with friends.
The menu is a delightful blend of Mediterranean flavors, catering to various preferences with vegan and gluten-free options. Whether you're in the mood for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner, there’s something to satisfy every craving. I tried their signature shakshuka, accompanied by freshly baked pita bread and a crisp, vibrant salad. Every bite was a testament to the quality and care put into their dishes. To complement the meal, I indulged in their Sahlep drink, a warm and fragrant winter treat made from orchid tuber flour—an absolute must-try.
Despite the steady stream of diners, the service was quick and attentive. The efficient booking system at the entrance ensured a short wait, even during peak hours. With its reasonable prices and high-quality offerings, Landwer Cafe is a place I look forward to visiting again soon.
Went in just before lunch rush with a 4 year old and a baby- great service! The two ladies were so polite and helpful. Food was great and there is a separate gluten-free menu. I ordered a chicken sandwich (g.f) and my husband had poutine.

I've had the pleasure of both dining in & taking out food from Si Lom Thai Bistro, & it has become a favourite spot for its delicious Thai cuisine.
One standout feature for me is their incredibly tasty Pad Thai, which they skillfully prepare completely gluten-free upon request. As someone with dietary restrictions, I appreciate their dedication to accommodating various needs. The portion sizes at Si Lom Thai Bistro are generous, often providing enough for a satisfying meal with a take-home bag to spare.
During the summer, the outdoor patio adds a lovely touch to the dining experience. It's a perfect spot to enjoy the flavours of Thai cuisine in a more relaxed setting. However, inside the restaurant, the space is a bit cramped, making it less than ideal for personal conversations. While the overall ambiance is pleasant, the cozy interior might not suit those seeking a more private dining experience.
In conclusion, Si Lom Thai Bistro is a go-to for flavourful Thai dishes, especially their delightful gluten-free pad Thai. Whether you choose to dine in or take out, the delicious food & ample portion sizes make it a satisfying choice. If you're a fan of Thai cuisine & don't mind the cozy interior, this restaurant is worth a visit.

Had drinks and nachos - staff were really nice, especially waitress! Staff easily accommodated my gluten allergy (celiac disease) a with corn chips and they were so good. We each had three drinks each - and we were feeling really good by the time we headed home.
Tasty food with a decent price. They even had gluten-free options! My meal was basic, but the potatoes were seasoned nicely, and it came quickly.
Large restaurant inside, and a nice little patio outside. Across the street is a new condo development, be careful of flying dust, but interesting to watch.
