Gateau Ghost

Finally got to try after months of seeing it on my ig 😩 we came on thanksgiving Monday around 12pm for brunch, and it wasn't as busy as I thought it would be. We only waited a few minutes for a table to be cleaned up, and were seated right away. The menu was so unique and I honestly wanted to try everything (but i did notice they use a variety of nuts in their menu so nut allergy people, be careful). Food came out pretty fast and it was all so delicious. We got the shrimp toast, breakfast plate, thanksgiving french toast, and kfc sando to share. The shrimp toast was SO GOOD and would 100% get this again; it was tangy, crispy, juicy, and savoury. The breakfast plate was also really good and I like that they customized it with different meats/sides so it's not your basic average breakfast with 2 eggs. Thanksgiving french toast was ordered just for fun, and it was pretty good, and I liked that the French toast had a crispy and caramelized edge. KFC sando good but not anything special. I would definitely wanna come back in the future to try more brunch items, and also try their baked goods at the front of store as well. Their merch is also so cute 🥺

Edited Oct. 23: We were invited back and accepted, curious to see if it'd be better, and were pleasantly surprised! Will explain in more detail when I have the time, but for now I've updated to reflect yesterday's visit: 4 stars for the food, 5 stars for the overall experience. Thoughts to come...! ****** Really wanted to love this joint, but it missed the mark spectacularly on so many fronts. Treated my stepsister for her birthday and cousin for her grad, chose somewhere we all hadn’t been before. Wanted to go to Susie's, but they were closed that day. Gateau Ghost had been on my list for a while, and we were all excited to finally try it. We started off with three hojicha lattes ($7 each). They were grainy and disappointing. I’ve had much better (shout out Rooms Baldwin!), and for cheaper, too. The Cereal Shrimp Toast ($18) was TINY and left no lasting impression. The KFC Sando ($21) was similarly forgettable. The best part of the meal was the Bulgogi Breakfast Poutine ($19) — the fingerling potatoes and white gravy in a skillet were lovely. So, at this point I’m feeling like the meal was a letdown, but I figured we could at least end it on a high note with a madeleine? We chose the strawberry because it was so pretty, but upon biting into it, found it to be quite dry and just…not good! I thought these were the house specialty; instead it just tasted like an unloved pastry smothered in artificial jam. As for the ambiance, it is very cute up front — beautiful millwork and cute seating area, natural light. But we were stuck all the way at the back in a dim cocoon of sadness (at least we were close to the bathroom?). I’m quite sensitive to the feng shui of a place, so it did affect my enjoyment. As a saving grace, our server (I forgot her name) was very cute and sweet. Sorry for the shite picture…I was so unenthused to take any pictures at all, and had already deleted the picture of the sad sack strawberry madeleine. I so wanted to love it here.

Came here yesterday with my boyfriend for brunch. I got an Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte and the GG’s Breakfast Plate — I chose scrambled eggs, jeyuk sausage, focaccia, and white gravy. My boyfriend got a Hot Banana Bread Hojicha Latte and the Croque Madame. Everything was delicious; we’d definitely come back.

Amazing ambience, food, cocktails, and service! Went there for their viral shrimp toast, and additionally ordered the steak tartare - 10/10! Dew spritz was prob one of the best cocktails I’ve ever tasted. Definitely a must visit in Toronto; I will be returning to try more items on the menu!

Came for their dinner service and had an amazing night! We sat at the bar overseeing the chef, which was pretty amazing to watch. Food was a great mix of Korean and French inspired food. Great portion sizes and easy to share! The fabourites amongst the group was •GG's steak tartare •Mochi pomme-dauphine (very great fusion of ingredients) The server was a little over attentive though, she kept trying to clear our plates with food still on it bc we were too busy yapping lol. Overall still a great experience. Definitely want to come back for the cafe.

I cant say enough good things about this restaurant. The service was warm and welcoming, our waiter was so lovely, he answered so many questions we had and even sent us home with a surprise trio of desserts in our doggie bag. Thank you so much for that, really made my birthday special. We had the Steak Tartar, Kimchi Onion Soup, and Shrimp Toast for apps and wow, what incredible attention to detail in these dishes! For our main we had the Bavette, which had such a depth of flavour and the Mochi Potatoes were chewy and delicious, the texture was so fun to experience. The star of the show was definitely the Sticky Toffee Pudding, its my favorite dessert and by far the best I've ever had. I will be back very soon!

Loved the avocado toast — it was full of great flavors! The service was excellent, and I’d definitely come back. The only downside was that brunch only starts at 10 a.m. on weekdays, so we had to wait to sit in the dining area. The classic breakfast with sausage was pretty basic, especially compared to the avocado toast, which really stood out.

Been to both the brunch and dinner service and the food was great! Love the open kitchen concept and being able to see our food being made. Food is Asian inspired with some french cuisine thrown in. Brunch food is your typical brunch with Asian flavours. Dinner is a little more pricey but definitely a good amount is given to you for the price. Service wise, the servers are very knowledgeable and very attentive to the guests. Atmosphere wise, very trendy and nice for the young adult audience Definitely recommend the cereal shrimp toast as it's on both menus 🦐
