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.
Disappointed and Frustrated – Wouldn’t Recommend
I don’t usually leave reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience from June 9th. I called ahead to specifically ask if they offered gluten-free ramen, and was told they had a couple of options available. Based on that, we decided to dine in.
However, after placing our order, the server came back to inform us they were actually out of gluten-free noodles. This level of miscommunication and negligence is extremely disappointing, especially for someone with dietary restrictions. I was then told to choose something else from the menu, and ended up ordering the Donburi, which they offered at a 20% discount.
Unfortunately, the Donburi was not enjoyable at all—I took just two bites and couldn’t bring myself to eat the rest. To make matters worse, the server was not friendly or accommodating, which only added to the overall poor experience.
I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Between the lack of care for dietary needs, underwhelming food, and unwelcoming service, it’s just not worth your time or money.
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.

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.
AMAZING!! Didn't try the cocktails though. Pasta Asiago was 20/10 !!! I got the gluten free pasta and was soooo delicious. The seafood risotto was... meh... the calamari and creme brulèe were super good. The wine was ok. 1 appetizer, 2 dishes, 500 ml of white wine and 1 desert: CAD 130. Service was really good.
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.
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.
I do not say this lightly, the burger was the best I've ever eaten in my entire life. I wish I could have tried the fries because I'm gluten free, but the burger was worth it on its own.
