I absolutely love the food at fressen. The dishes are fresh, delicious and unique. The ambiance is really nice as well, it is really warm and cozy inside. The only negative thing i have to say is that the service isn't so great. I think they might be understaffed, or maybe it was just the night i went, but the waiter was really slow. I would risk the slow service again just cause the food is awesome.
I've been to Fressen twice for brunch and it's awful.
DInner is ok. But brunch is terrible.
If only we had a great vegetarian restaurant here like Candle Cafe in NYC or Millennium in San Fran. The food at these two restaurants is great as is the service.
Perhaps Toronto vegetarians like the abuse?
Brunch has been really spotty, and I've walked in too many times when their espresso machine has not been working. Service here has gone downhill, and it would take a lot for me to go back.
you really don't need to go that far for the best vegetarian restaurant in your neighbourhood.
It's right there in the Village by the grange on Mccaul and Dundas.
It's called Karine's by Maggie's and it's absolutely Great!
My visit got worth wile from Quebec when I visited AGO and came across to this cute veggie place. Family owned and operated, excellent food choices and lots of smile.
Check them out.
Their prices are very cheap and you'll be happy.
I was there for a friend's birthday brunch and I've heard so much great stuff about Fressen from her and her boyfriend that I was so excited to try it! Our party of 8 arrived around 11:30 and we weren't acknowledged until about 12. We didn't get our drinks (coffee, tea, and juice) until an hour later! Our waitress claimed they were short on the tea strainers, mean while we saw her bringing some out to other tables. She came back to our table asking us what our drink orders were (you would think she would have wrote it down the 2nd time she came back), she came back 4 times without our drinks!
Don't get me wrong, the food was fantastic, but the service was HORRIBLE!!!
When it came time for the bill our server told us that the machine was down and that she had to give us a hard copy...fine. She returned with a ripped piece of paper with just the total on it! We were floored! and when we asked for a written out detail of our bill she looked at us like we were crazy!
She claimed she was new and this was her second week....BULLSHIT!
I loved the food, it's too bad the service was half ass!
The service was great for 2 servers and 13 tables. It was my partner and my 2 year anniversary + we like a slower paced dinner anyway, so the service was perfect for us.
The food was amazing, unique and incredibly tasty! We left talking about the food. Some of the best vegan food I've ever had. I want to try the rest of the menu!
I have to agree with J. My wife and I had a great meal there yesterday, with fantastic food and great atmosphere but the service was quite slow. Now I enjoy taking my time to eat but 30 minutes between finishing the tapas and receiving the entree is a little much, even with an enjoyable glass of wine.
The food, once we got it, was fantastic and full of flavour (sometimes lacking in vegetarian restaurants) so I would definitely return.
