The Federal

Chicken Curry was super yummy. Tangy and fresh. It comes cold tho which was unexpected. Breakfast burrito was also a solid choice but more heavy and dense.

Tried the curry chicken sandwich, and the flavors were unique and delicious! However, it was a bit too heavy for me to finish. Overall, the atmosphere and service were amazing!

Chose this place based on their menu online. Thought it would be nice to get a salad for under $20. Waited 30 minutes for a table. Got seated and noticed the menu prices were considerably pricier than what they listed online. What I wanted (cobb salad) was 25% more expensive than their website - $18 vs. $24. Asked waitress about it. All she said was the menu in restaurant was updated two days prior and kept walking. When the bill came, the first tip option was 18%. Ya, right!

Incredible spot for breakfast in Toronto. The service was 10/10 and the food was even better. I had the breakfast sandwich and was blown away by how good it was. The fluffy eggs, with the aoli and pickle for a saltiness was an amazing combo! My husband had the breakfast burrito and was also very impressed. Highly recommend it!

Everything we Tried at The Federal Opened in 2012, The Federal resides on Dundas West, between Dufferin Street and Gladstone Avenue. Its vintage allure is accentuated by orange drop lights, charmingly mismatched tiled floors, and exposed brick walls. We were fortunate to secure a cozy nook for two at the front, where we relished in the delightful combination of yummy food, exceptional service, and an incredible ambiance. 🏷️$$ 🎥@melissa_foodie.fun

My visit to "The Federal" was a delightful experience from start to finish. Nestled in a cozy and intimate location, the restaurant exuded a chill and easygoing ambiance perfect for a relaxed brunch. Although parking was limited to street paid parking, it was worth the effort. The service was top-notch - friendly and fast, ensuring a pleasant dining atmosphere. The food was a highlight, with tasty dishes and generous portions that left me thoroughly satisfied. In terms of value, "The Federal" excelled, offering excellent food at reasonable prices. My only suggestion would be to arrive earlier, as seating is limited. Overall, "The Federal" provided a fantastic brunch experience, and I look forward to returning soon.

Really great food for a reasonable price in this city. Vibe was friendly and warm. A bit noisy as no acoustic panels in place. I really enjoyed my meal, just a well put together dish - a Gold Standard Sandwich. A friend had a Cobb Salad which was a huge plate. Recommended as a nice place for good food, to meet friends and visit!

I have to say that the hype about this place is completely justified. We had to wait around 45 minutes to be seated because there were a few people waiting for a table as well, but it was worth it. The service was excellent. Food was really good and came in no time, I just wish there were more vegan options, props to the waiter who offered us a vegan burrito. I had the curry chicken sandwich, the bread was toasted and was a little hard for me but for whoever likes a crunchy experience it shouldn't be a problem. The chicken itself with the mango sauce, was mind-blowing. I also had a Caesar cocktail, I had never tried it and it was not my cup of tea but I can't deny that it was good... A very intense journey. Overall we loved this place!
