Fish & Loaf

Really enjoyed our meal here! Fish and chips flakey and light, steak frites beefy tender and great texture and the duck clay hot pot reminds me of my childhood.... Especially with the soup added at the end. Warabi Mochi was nice to finish it all off.

We found this place after seeing a review on YouTube. Despite its outward appearance, the seating area here is very limited. It's important to book this place ahead of time. I also would recommend pre-ordering your dishes ahead of time as well. When we went, we did not know how limited everything was. Many of the items I wanted to order were already pre sold out even though we were one of the first parties of the day. I ordered the seafood miso soup, the grilled branzino, and an Iberico pluma with Chinese sausage clay pot. I loved the seafood miso soup, it was different than any miso soup I've had before. The soup was thick and had many ingredients. It is much more elevated than a regular miso soup. The grilled fish was ok, it was really big and quite salty. The fish quality was good, but I think the taste was too much of the same thing and didn't have much variety. The claypot rice was really good! It was not too salty and the aroma of the ingredients penitrated throughout the dish. They offer to add soup when you are done so you can have rice soup at the end with the crispy bits!

This was our first time dinning here. We ordered the clay pot rice with duck leg, grilled octopus, chilled abalone, iberico pork chop, golden oyster with waygu. They were delicious. The clay pot rice is a bit pricey.

Small but mighty! I was super excited to try this restaurant, and it did not disappoint. We ordered the octopus, fried batter cod, clay pot rice with preserved duck leg, and cheesecake. The fried batter cod was my favorite—crispy and delicious! The octopus was a close second, packed with great flavor. I wasn’t a fan of the clay pot rice, though. For the price, it wasn’t quite worth it, and I wouldn’t order it again. That said, the experience was fantastic overall. Our waiter was super nice, and the atmosphere felt fancy and inviting. I enjoyed it and would definitely come back!

The cafe is small but it’s clean with simple decor. Food quality and service are excellent in my opinion but factoring in premium pricing in some food item I selected , I think between 4 to 5 stars. In general the food seems light tasted and less salty 👍, I can taste the original taste from the ingredients which is my kind of preference. Grilled octopus is quite good, soft and tasty, and pretty plating, seems reasonable for the asking price. Clay pot rice with preserved duck leg- I liked it alot and the preserved duck leg is homemade so it’s not salty at all , and the meat is still tender! The 飯焦 at the bottom is crunchy! And we ate half of it and save the other half, they will add dashi (Japanese broth) to soak up the rice to finish it off! Yum … but it’s $48 … $$$. I somewhat expensive but it’s good ! The coffee latte is actually not bad at all, they don’t use the dark roast bean that you get in typical restaurant… my kind of coffee - even better if they use less milk as personal preference. I think I will visit again !

This is a hidden gem of a restaurant in Scarborough. It has a very unique design. As you set upstairs, you can actually see the chefs preparing the meals in the kitchen blow. We ordered king salmon and dry aged duck confit. Both tasted very delicious, and their truffles fries were also really good. The service was exceptional. Looking forward to visit here again.

I really like to share that unique dining experience at Fish and Loaf on Saturday, August 11th, 2024. The food truly exceeded our expectations, with each dish showcasing not only top quality ingredients but also a level of creativity that made every bite special. Our friends couldn't stop talking about how delicious everything was from the appetizers to the dessert, each course was a delightful surprise. The exceptional service only enhanced our experience, making us feel welcomed and well cared for throughout the meal. It’s rare to find a place where both the food and service are of such high caliber, and I'm glad we could enjoy it together. Thanks for delicious food again!

Saw this place on one of those best-new-restaurant lists and decided to stop by for dinner. We got: - Soft Shell Crab: Pretty good appetizer. A bit heavy on the batter for me, but the batter was tasty so it was fine. Loved the calamansi on the side. - Kinki Fish: This fish from Japan was pricey and small. But wow was the meat so buttery, glistening, and of the highest quality. Simple grilling perfectly showcased the fish. And the edamame side dish was so tasty I could have eaten it by itself. - Australian Wagyu Steak: Good cut, pretty tender, ok taste. I didn't try their famed iberico pork since I prefer beef, but I wish I had given what this wagyu steak was like. To be clear, it was pretty good, just not great for the price. Menu is more varied than what the restaurant name implies. Service was attentive. Kitchen was quick for the quality of food you get. Place is small but well spaced and has a casual chic vibe. I'm not sure if they have the multiplier effect of the fish and loaves. But for a single visit, this place is worth a try.
