Insomnia Restaurant and Lounge

I had a truly delicious dinner. The meat was slightly salty, but the salad balanced it out perfectly. The sauce was incredibly flavorful, and the atmosphere was just wonderful. I highly recommend this place, especially for couples. It’s a great spot to enjoy a lovely meal together!

Ok so besides it being a vibe as soon as you walk in, the food is incredible. A lot of times, people who work at hot spots in Toronto are a little snooty but I didn’t get even the slightest bit of that here. Everyone was so sweet, kind and available with a smile. Understanding, accommodating and let me just start talking about the food!!! Another thing that caught me by surprise was how good the food truly is here. I came for brunch once before Covid, when I got eggs Benedict with peameal bacon and I still remember it being really really good. At 10oclock at night on a Saturday in Toronto it’s either vibes OR quality food but I was pleasantly surprised to say that this place had both. We had a taste of pretty much everything on the menu because we were a group of 6 and pleased to announce nothing disappointed!! The pesto cream sauce chicken pasta was delicate and delicious. The braised lamb shank was flavourful and satisfying. The potato goat cheese croquettes were just divine! Crispy, fluffy paired with tasty sauces and hearty!! The dumpling soup was soooo perfect for a really cold night, the dumplings were fresh and flavourful. The buttermilk calamari were, I think the best calamari I have had in the city. So juicy and tender!!!! but also crispy on the outside!!! I’ve never had the perfect calamari until having them here. The chicken pot pie was delicious, the crust was the best part I wish there was more!!! The fish and chips were amazing, the Korean chicken sandwich was yummy and the chicken and waffles was the first dish to be cleared!! The chocolate cake was more of a fudge style cake, it doesn’t seem to have any flour but it was sooooo decadent. The cheesecake was supreme and my favourite part was that I asked for fresh strawberries on top. They didn’t just put one or two little pieces, they put, what I think, is the perfect amount where I could have three or four fresh (they were so full of strawberries flavour I remembered why I even like strawberries) strawberry chunks with every single bite of cheesecake until the whole slice was finished. Literally heaven on earth. Thank you insomnia for making food wishes truly come true!!!

The smoked salmon “Charlotte” Eggs Benedict were satisfactory, and my table enjoyed the cinnamon-infused coffee. While the staff were very pleasant, they seemed somewhat disorganized when seating guests.

I had a fantastic dining experience! The eggs Benedict were absolutely delicious—perfectly cooked with a rich, flavorful sides of house sauce. The drinks were equally impressive, offering a great complement to the meal. Our server, Tulsa, was exceptional—friendly, attentive, and full of helpful suggestions that enhanced our visit. Highly recommend this spot for a memorable meal !

I got the salmon eggs benedict. I thought it was just okay. Potatoes were very saucy. Not my fav way of eating potatoes but it was okay. My friend ordered the steak medium rare and it came out well done. Extremely chewy and dry. They did ask if he wanted another dish and switched it out which was nice. Service is good but overall, food is just okay.

Absolutely loved the sunrise mimosa! The classic breakfast was nice too but the eggs were a bit salty. I also loved the BBQ ketchup sauced used on the homestyle fries. I do recommend reserving as it is a popular place. Luckily we only had to wait about half an hour.

Nice late night food and drink! They have reliable gluten free menu items, as well as midnight must haves like poutine. Service was a little slow as our waiter said they had to clean the fryer, but the food was great. Pop was not very fizzy, but free refills as long as you order food as well. There’s a DJ playing live, so it is a little loud.
