A beautiful, cozy little restaurant with super friendly and welcoming staff. We had breakfast there once, and it was a fantastic experience! The food was delicious, the coffee was excellent, and the service was incredibly warm and attentive. We’re already looking forward to becoming regulars. Plus, it’s great to know you can also order through Uber Eats for those days when you want to enjoy their offerings at home!

The food and atmosphere is incredible. The service and staff are superb and so friendly, I brought my boyfriend with me and we decided to make this our regular spot. The schnitzel is so good and so large it’s the size of my head! Also get the schnitzel with the homemade tomato sauce is absolutely incredible. Overall amazing!

The best place in Toronto to get brunch or lunch. The staff are super nice and friendly and will always welcome you, the environment will remind you of your grandmas house and the food is just absolutely amazing. They are know for the chicken schnitzel and I can see why. It’s large, the toppings fit in very well and it’s prepared in front of you. Overall an amazing restaurant to add to your list!

Quaint little spot by Mount Pleasant with super attentive and kind servers, aaand everything is made in house. They’ve got tons of options for schnitzels and really good breakfast options. Would definitely come back!

Super nice people who make wonderful comfort food. Street parking available. Cozy corner restaurant with a small sheltered patio. Late breakfast for two with a take out meal & dessert came to 72 dollars with tax & tip. Large portions will leave you satisfied. We had the eggs with peameal, veal schnitzel Benedict, coffees, an order of meatloaf with potato salad and a mighty fine dessert. Not fully accessible as you have a couple of small steps up from the sidewalk. Will definitely go back for other dishes such as the goulash soup. Got super busy come lunch time but the Staff still managed to dish out the various orders.

★★
July 15, 2024

The server was friendly but food and service just aren’t up to par. I chose to dine on the patio and waited 10 minutes for a server, but ended up going inside to order at the counter. No problem, they seem understaffed so I understand. The food came about 3 minutes later with napkins but no cutlery or water so I asked for water just as she was about to leave. The schnitzel is pre-made sitting there until ordered (for quick service I assume) however when they reheat it, it isn’t crispy at all. On top of all that, I found a hair on my plate… I really wanted to like this place but will not be back.

Their goulash ($9) arrives steaming hot and emits a comforting fragrance. I could taste the spices teeming in the broth, creating a rich flavour profile with a hint of heat. Filled with chunks of beef, vegetables, and fluffy teaspoon-sized dumplings, it’s a hearty soup that could become a meal with a side dish. I did find it a tad oily but may work if you’re soaking up the broth with bread. Bread and Butter’s schnitzel sandwich ($12) is assembled-to-order with a choice of bun (Kaiser, cheese, or onion) and protein (chicken or veal). I dressed mine with mayonnaise, pickles, hot peppers, and lettuce to augment the lightly breaded chicken schnitzel. In retrospect, I’d leave out the pickles as they’re the sweet variety detracting from the savouriness of the sandwich. If you’re already having soup, it’s a good idea to share the sandwich with another person as it’s huge. If only the chicken cutlet were hot, the dish would be incredible. Still, I understand with the limited staff their ability to freshly fry or even heat up the schnitzel is difficult. With a display case of cakes and pastries, I opted for a slice of apple strudel ($5; estimated based on bill total) to go. There must be a full apple per slice as the pastry was essentially chopped and sliced apples surrounded by layers of phyllo. While the spices were delicious and the sweetness spot on, the apple’s skin were left on, so the chewy bits took away from the lusciousness of the dessert.

Rude staff

December 15, 2024

Unpleasant Service The staff at Bread and Butter are very rude and seem uninterested in providing a good experience. They only treat you well if you re in a large group, which makes it feel like they care more about the bill than their customers. Very disappointing.

I came here with my mom and my 11month old daughter. From the moment we walked in, we loved the vibe. It had that home, family style feeling. The service was fantastic. They effortlessly accommodated us in any way, they were attentive, warm and welcoming. The food speaks for its self! We just got a simple breakfast but everything was cooked to perfection. All the recipes are family recipes and cooked fresh. We highly recommend, as this is our new go to! Thanks Bread and Butter family!

Food was great, simple but delicious. Staff were fantastic and friendly. Atmosphere was super laid back and not pretentious.

The lack of accessibility and the lie that theres wheelchair accessible seating available really affects the atmosphere for me as a disabled person. I can get in as a cane user but only on good days when my chronic pain isnt too bad. Adding an accessible entrance at the side from the patio wouldnt be hard *if* even the patio was accessible. The food is delicious, service is great! Wheelchair accessibility: This place is NOT wheelchair accessible, not from the front door, not from the patio. Shame on this business for lying. Steps up to the door and patio make it absolutely inaccessible!

Food is great; service is questionable if you are a visible minority. Just like one of the reviews here mentioned, my wife and I went for lunch today and we were ignored for better half of our time there while other Caucasian guests were welcomed, seated with smiles and friendly conversations. No water or cutlery at our table. I had to stand in line to ask where to seat, ask for menus and ask for cutlery even after the food was delivered. The whole vibe felt like we were not supposed to be here. The food quality was great; no complaints there but I wish the staff would serve everyone equally regardless of their skin colour. I ll go to Starving artist next time.

Gem in the city! What truly sets Bread and Butter apart is owner, Lazars unwavering commitment to giving back. Hes not just a restaurateur; hes a pillar of the community, always ready to lend a helping hand to those in need. My husband and I live near B&B and experienced this firsthand when Lazar offered his assistance during a move. His kindness and generosity left us deeply grateful and profoundly touched. Lazars dedication to both his craft and his community is truly inspiring, and its an honor to support such a remarkable establishment. If you havent had the pleasure of dining at Bread and Butter yet, do yourself a favour and stop by. You wont be disappointed.

A decent place to eat if you are not a visible minority! I was looking forward to trying their schnitzel as I had heard good things, but was ultimately disappointed and surprised at how I was treated. I cant remember the last time I was treated like this, especially in Toronto, a multicultural city. Upon entry, we waited a bit before a staff had asked us if we wanted to dine inside or outside. We requested outside as you could see through the window that there were plenty of open tables. She responded with is there room outside? which was interesting to start, since I thought they would know which tables were available, plus it was visible. Someone else went outside to take a look and then just said we could sit down anywhere. Sure, no problem. We sat down, and no menus were provided, so we just found the menu on our phones and placed our order and requested water with a server. Not a big deal. Shortly after, I saw another server seat other Caucasian customers at their table, and provided them with menus and water. We still havent received our water after a while, so we requested another server who was also a POC (person of color) for some water. Our main server later returned with our dishes, and upon realizing that the other POC server had given us water, she said to her dont help me. Very interesting. When we were preparing to leave, we were told to pay at the front cashier. We stood in line, and the staff checked out the Caucasian customers in front of us, and then the staff left. We stood in front of the cashier, waiting for someone else to check us out so that we could leave. Another Caucasian man stood in line behind us, and the server checked him out, even though he was behind us, and after he paid, the server was about to leave again. We had to ask her to check us out so that we could leave. I dont understand if they even wanted to take our money because we stood there for at least 5 minutes, while they didnt even look our way. Honestly the service was ridiculous, I dont know what else they could do to make it more apparent that we were not welcome there based on our appearance. Its Toronto, its 2024, do better.

Horrific food.not fit for human consumption. The schnitzel was terrible,tasteless and dry. The so called goulash soup was horrific. They have no idea how to make good food. Dont waste your hard earned money . Go find decent food somewhere else. Rip off business!

April 22, 2024

The woman with short white hair who served customers was very aggressive and yelling at everyone. She was aggressive towards anyone who approached and asked for napkins or other things, and towards those who were waiting in line. Everyone in the establishment was just shocked by what was happening. If you dont want to ruin your mood for the whole day, its better not to visit this place.

We went to Bread & Butter on Sunday and had excellent schnitzel sandwiches! The food is of good quality, the service friendly and fast, and it is a cozy spot. Nothing fancy, but the prices are reasonable compared to most places these days. We have come here for many years since our son went to Hodgson school and we have always been very satisfied. B&B is an institution in the Mt. Pleasant area for a good reason!

Stopped in here after a workout on Sunday only to be ignored for 5 minutes while the server chatted with a couple right by the door without acknowledging us. Ladies behind the counter did not approach us either as we waited by the till to order. The few free tables were unclean/unbussed so we couldnt seat ourselves. Very disappointing unwelcome atmosphere overall, left without trying anything.

I was really looking forward to this place. Wienerschnitzel is one of my favourites, my family being from Austria I was hoping this would take me back to the days I d visit and have it all the time.

Came here for brunch. It s a super cozy restaurant that specializes in schnitzel-based dishes. I ordered the B & B Schnitzel breakfast, which was essentially eggs Benny with schnitzel. It was pretty delicious, but pretty carb heavy. Next time I m back, I ll probably also order a salad for veg. We also purchase a selection of layer cakes to go, which was a mixed bag. It s a matter of personal taste, but I found some were too sweet while others were just right.

Ive been here 3 times. Ordered the BLT every time. The first two times the sandwich was amazing. Crispy pan fried bacon. Fresh lettuce & tomato, perfectly toasted bread, ideal amount of mayo, salt and pepper. The third time was a complete let down. Bacon was microwaved, could hear it in the microwave as I went down to the washroom. Bread was undertoasted almost no mayo, thin watery tomatoes with a sprinkle of what looked like Presidents choice leafy green mix. I will gladly come here again and give it another shot, the first two times were 5 star all the way.

If you want a microwaved schnitzel that s been sitting out without temp control, made by a woman wearing no gloves and touches everything and then the food she prepares for you - this place is for you. Not to mention tables sat out with dirty dishes on them for a while. Would give zero stars if possible.

Nothing great or special about eggs Benedictine just delicious and well made. Great place to have a tranquile brunch since it is hardly ever packed.

Bread and Butter is a quaint corner sandwich shop specializing in schnitzel. We found both our sandwiches (veal and chicken) to be good quality and fair value. Was disappointed that ours werent warm tho and had to be nuked. Also, bun options are the commercial grocery store variety. A better quality bun (bakery) would elevate these sandwiches from good to great! As is, not good enough for us to return.

Its difficult to find a good schnitzel in Toronto. This is one of the few places in the city that delivers the perfect schnitzel and <replace w/ toppings here>.

Hands down - the best schnitzel on a kaiser ever! I had lunch there today. I obviously had schnitzel on a kaiser, and my daughter and her friend had French toast. Apparently an amazing choice too, as they said it was delicious. The cheesecake was amazing! Thank you for having us!

A quaint little brunch spot that serves some good breakfast that tastes just like home- made. They serve gluten free cakes that are delicious and are known for their schnitzel- another hidden gem in midtown Toronto. Service is a bit slow - since this is family run.

super cozy! Feels like you are in grandmas house for a breakfast bite. the food was delicious, I got B&B which is benedict on schnitzel. the schnitzel was preheated I guess but still very delicious. the homemade pancake didnt serve to my satisfaction. many people get pastry take out. the staff were friendly. Would recommend this place. Dietary restrictions: they had gluten free and lactose free options

My daughter and I both had a sandwich and soup plus one side of potato salad. Good homemade food, lovely service. I would like the vegetarian sandwich to cost a little less than the meat sandwich. I feel thats fair, seeing as meat is generally more costly. My daughters ham and cheese on a bun looked fantastic! The chicken noodle soup hit the spot!

We have been going to Bread and Butter with our family for over twenty years! The BEST schnitzel, bacon, cheese on an onion bun EVER!! My sons are in university and its their first stop when they come home. They sent me this to post, looks like IG, agrees - TEAMBread&Butter! *and the staff remembers everyone, a real community feel, where youre treated like a valued customer not a number waiting to pick up an online order.

Located at the south end of Mt. Pleasant Rd, Bread & Butter is a quaint little place that offers some of the best schnitzel in the city. Golden brown and perfectly crispy (not too mention massive! ), my schnitzel plate was super tender and accompanied by a pair of freshly prepared kale and potato salads. Throw in a delicious goulash and some from-scratch cabbage rolls and this is one spot that will be on my must return to list.

This place is a midtown institution. Been going there for as long as I can remember for the 10/10 schnitzel sandwich. Pound for pound, buck for buck one of the best sandwiches you re going to find in this area of Toronto. Friendly and quick service, these guys aim to please. Do yourself a favour and go.

They place hot food directly in the styrofoam box and sometimes the part of the box literally melts due to the hot food placed directly on it. Its definitely not good for health. They should change the styrofoam boxes to some other safe boxes and then deliver. I never order from here anymore.

Omg! Just ordered from DoorDash. Amazing. I live about 20 mins drive away and the food is still warm & fresh. Probably the best breakfast experience I have gotten in a while. I cannot wait to try the b&b Benny again once our city is a safer place. Again, amazing breakfast! I won t take away a star because overall great food but the eggs have a strong vinegar taste which isn t bad but not for my palette.

I normally post pictures of the food Ive ordered before reviewing it, not in this case. The chicken schnitzel sandwich on an onion kaiser bun was something you only fantasize about. I would stare at the sandwich after each bite in disbelief that it could taste that good! The Goulash was one level above perfect and yes, I had a custard cake for dessert which I devoured in the car... couldnt wait to get home to eat it
