I typically go here every time I go to the ROM. They only do brunch but the food and vibes are amazing. Over the years the food and menu has changed but is consistently good! At the moment I defs recommend the mushroom crockets or eggplant fatteh. It’s such a unique place I always bring friends visiting town here and they love it! One thing I recommend is making a reservation. Most brunch places don’t, so I find this as a benefit so I can avoid waiting around for a spot. Defs returning soon!
I ate here with my wife for lunch and it was one of the best spots I have ever been in Toronto. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a high-quality meal
This place overlooks ROM and if your table is by the glass or on the patio you can also see the CN tower. Service is the best I have seen in Toronto. Their menus are always updated according to the season.
CLAY Restaurant has a nice view, located on the third floor of the Gardiner Museum. The first floor is currently under renovation and closed, so admission is pay-as-you-wish. Since we went up to the third floor for a meal, we also took the stairs down afterward and visited the ceramic exhibits on the second floor. The area is surrounded by historic buildings, and the service was excellent—warm but respectful, very attentive with timely plate changes and table settings. I enjoyed the modern, fusion-style dishes. The lemon tart was a highlight: sweet and sour in perfect balance, very refreshing, though it took a little longer to arrive since the whipped cream was freshly made. The soba cold noodles with fried tofu were quite unique. The omelette was a safe choice but still satisfying, with the fillings changing daily—today’s mushroom, cheese, and bacon combination was exactly to my taste. The corned beef was decent, nothing outstanding. As for the ceramics collection, it was impressive with pieces from both Eastern and Western traditions across different eras, definitely worth a look.
The plates at outdoor area are dirty as they are all day in dust openly placed on the tables. You can see the dust when you wipe the plate. Do not trust the photos online. Most of the dishes including on a Saturday are not available. The lady forgot our dessert order and we are under the impression she is bringing food. Waited 30mins only to know she did not even pass the order to kitchen. The heating system also doest work.
The moment we sat down we were asked if we were leaving by the next sitting. The service was slow. The fries were cold. Then another wait staff came upon us suddenly, before we had finished our meal, to settle our bill because they were leaving.
Everything from beginning to the end was fantastic. We ordered: Mushroom Croquettes Leek and Potato Soup (Soup of the day) Stuffed Squid (Catch of the day) Charred Aubergine Everything tasted great, food was well presented, restaurant is beautiful, and the service was great! Can't wait to go back!
