UNO Bistro

I had the distinct pleasure of dining at UNO Bistro on September 7, 2024 with a Ukrainian friend who introduced me to it. In a word, this place is superb. The food, environment and the staff are all first rate. I cannot say enough about the sublime beet borscht with chicken and dollops of sour cream that I had there. It is without doubt the very best I have ever had – anywhere. It will leave you craving more. For my main course, I had chicken Kyiv, which was done perfectly, light golden brown breading on the outside and juicy flavourful chicken on the inside. I had, of course, a side order of scrumptious potato varenyky - with more sour cream! All of this served by our delightful and efficient server, Kate. My meal was topped off with a perfectly done cappuccino, decorated on top of the foam with the traditional Ukrainian trident symbol. The dining experience was enhanced by the wonderful energetic ambiance created by the adjacent musical chatter of local Ukrainian regulars at other tables. And I don’t even speak Ukrainian!! What a cultural treat. The manager, Mark, can be very proud if this establishment ! Finally, a word of caution; Be sure to get an extra order of the borscht and sour cream to take home. You will suffer very deep withdrawal symptoms if you don’t!! Happy dining at UNO Bistro. Andy Hoffer Toronto Note: photos are from my previous visit to UNO Bistro. They show a full platter of varenyky, not the chicken Kyiv .

Amazing place! I’ve tried almost the entire menu, and everything is incredible—especially the borscht. It’s the best spot for Ukrainian cuisine in Toronto with affordable pricing! They even surprise you with gifts sometimes, which is so heartwarming. Much love to this place! Дуже дякую! Слава Україні💛💙

Recently discovered this location with Ukrainian food. As a Ukrainian myself, let me tell you that it’s a really good spot for trying Ukrainian cuisine. I have been to a few spots that make Ukrainian food in Toronto, and this place might feel less like a restaurant but more like a homemade food (Although we all know that it’s better at home 💙💛). Overall, it’s a really nice place, with great food and service, so I would recommend you to try it out.

I ordered lunch for my colleagues via uber eats and was absolutely disappointed. Packing is not suitable for food. All food stuck to the paper and it was impossible to separate. Packing should be isolated inside. I wanted to introduce Ukrainian food to my colleagues, instead I got this problem. No one wanted to eat the paper. I have a photo of pierogies but mashed potato was also mixed with paper. The goal of this review is to help good place become better. Hope that restaurant will pay attention and buy suitable packaging for future orders.

Just ordered through the skip dishes Coleslaw Salad, Amazing love it . Ordered also borsch , well mostly liquid 🙄 And Cabbage rolls with meat in tomato sauce with a side of mushroom . Well I won’t be ordering again . There was no meat whatsoever but just rice , they were so tiny and there was no mushroom sauce. Also there was no drink either . So only good thing was the salad !

The best Ukrainian food in the city of Toronto. If you want to try premium Ukrainian food this is the restaurant to attend.

Absolutely disgusted by this restaurant. Upon being seated the waitress noticed I was speaking Russian & immediately slammed this sign on my table. I’m a Russian speaking Ukrainian. How is this allowed in Toronto? I was forced to leave due to my daughter crying from the aggressive behavior by the entire staff. Vile behavior and my attorney has already been contacted.
