Really excellent food, and wonderful service. I think my only feedback would be more lunch sized portions. Maybe something like a sandwich for the “& Loaf” bit of the name. Will definitely be back for dinner to enjoy some of the larger entrees!

Ordered 2 appetizers, the fried oyster and abalone. The oysters were HUGE, they were breaded and fried very crispy with the inside so succulent and juicy. There was a light siraicha mayo and a small coleslaw with Japanese sesame dressing. Wonderful. The abalone has a small pickled tomato on the top and served in its shell already sliced up on a bed of ice with a garnish of radish sprouts. It was a delicious cold beginner for those who like seafood. The salmon came perfectly grilled with a crispy skin with fried burdock that had a hint of truffle oil (?) and grilled asparagus spears with hollandaise sauce. There is a thin pool of mashed potatoes that balanced and brought everything together. It was a very enjoyable lunch. The miso code is gone -- might be the chef will change the menu as needed. I would get this salmon again, or happily try something else next time! I was told that the branzino is a whole fish cooked in a Mediterranean style -- that might a yummy alternative for next time! The atmosphere is relatively quiet and soft jazz music in the background. The staff is happy to chat and explain the dishes. I noticed the other table having the clay pot rice (something to be enjoyed with 2 or more people) and she cautioned on the heat of the clay pot and how to enjoy the scorched rice. I will be bringing family and friends to come again!

The atmosphere and service are both exceptional. We highly recommend the yellow eel pot rice, oysters, and dark beer. Definitely going back! It is best to make a reservation.

I recently had dinner here and it is quite a nice and unique space for private dining. The restaurant has a nice ambiance because the dining area is upstairs above the kitchen. You can look down and watch the chef and his team prepare your food. Having studied in culinary school, I suspect the chef is using traditional and classic culinary techniques within his dishes. I maybe wrong. Overall, seems like a nice place for private dinner parties.

Took my father here for father's day, all the food was super yummy, and the service top notch! Honestly such a cute place, not too many tables so it feels intimate, and there is free parking outside. My parents said they will definitely be back!

We had the octopus appetizer and chowder special to start. Then the branzino and clay pot as mains. Everything was incredibly fresh and delicious (literally the best octopus I've had this side of Greece). The service was attentive and responsive. Atmosphere was a quiet elegance and the elevated dining space provided an additional element of sophistication. Would 100% recommend and return. Check out the Toronto Life article featuring this restaurant as one of the top for 2024.

A nice bit of fusion using higher-end "Western" ingredients with Chinese cooking methods. Glowing review for the octopus appetizer -- soft with a nice char and flavours. The minced pork claypot rice was good with a hearty portion size, but couldn't taste much of the XO sauce flavour and more of a crust could formed before serving. Iberico in a claypot is not something you could find in most places though. Price point is quite high, but the blow is softened by small touches like hot towels and a neat little squeeze bottle for the soy sauce blend for the rice.

I never had such a strong feeling to write a review. Fish + Loaf. Petite restaurant in Scarborough off Lebovic. Lots of parking during lunch time. Recommend to make reservation before you go First impression, friendly staff, menu price is not bad, above average if they serve what they say. Again I would go to McDonald and write good review if the service is exceptional or something that I really like This restaurant has lots of room for improvement. The light bulbs above the dining table. It’s milky and not wiped clean. You can feel the dust and grease is there. Plant pot with draining holes above your head. Sure it’s nice decor How about making sure no dirt coming out while you are eating. I don’t understand the reasons behind reusing same set of folk and knife from appetizer. If you want customers really taste your dish, do you want appetizers salad dressing on your main dish ? Then you said customers like to eat the burnt salmon skins because they taste like seaweed. Blackened is not charcoal. NO I you served charcoal. Even though I am not a fan of salmon skin, I tasted it and it was bitter I don’t want to sound negative. I can see regular customers are in the same restaurant. So you must have done something right before. I will go back if I see more positive reviews from other customers. Good luck

Came here to celebrate my partner’s birthday. We enjoyed the food and ambiance, the restaurant interior was very cute. We were disappointed that the lobster tail was “sold out”. We drove very far to come to the restaurant so it was a bit of a bummer. We ordered the soft shell crab, truffle fries, Australian Wagyu sirloin cap steak, their special aged iberico pork pluma and apple crumble for dessert. The soft shell crab was okay- Nothing special. The fries were very addictive but the truffle taste was VERY light. The steak was great - no complaints. The pork was a bit chewy but had great flavour. The apple crumble… was okay. Not what I expected - So the apple crumble… the apple slice that they put on the ice cream smelled and tasted like garlic… at first I thought I was tripping and maybe it was the smell coming from downstairs… but I sniffed it for a little longer and I was so sure, something was wrong with this apple… either it was sitting in a fridge full of garlic or it was cut with an unwashed knife/surface where the garlic touched. I let the server know after I paid that they should probably check their apples. Then she proceeds to tells me “yeah I saw you smelling the apple for a long time and ask the chef to check and he said it might be the knife” Okay… AND?! Why didn’t you ask me what was wrong when I was smelling this apple for so long?! 😑… were you not going to say anything if I didn’t ask? Because you are basically telling me an unwashed knife that was used to cut garlic was used to cut my apple!! This is unacceptable for a restaurant . Even I have a separate knife and cutting board for cutting fruits at home … Other than the apple, everything else was good. But this apple incident alone makes me question the cleanliness of the kitchen surfaces and tools at the restaurant…

We had Fried soft shell crab, Iberico Pork Chop, Australia grass Fed Rib Eye Steak. Food is great as they are curated by the Chef. We have got an Apple Crumble on the house for my husband’s bday as well. Very attentive service by the staff. Highly recommend!
