Pharmacii

Pharmacii is a quirky and eclectic spot with a contemporary atmosphere. Upon your arrival during night time hours, the exterior is unassuming, mysterious, and dark. Once inside, the dark walls and low lighting makes for a intimate dining experience. The handcrafted drinks and the drink menu is meticulously thought out and it offers some extremely unique flavour profiles. The dinner menu offers a wide variety of flavour combinations that are like no other venue in the city. The food is served family style and brought out at staggered intervals, which creates an unrepeatable dining experience from visit to visit. The food is presented with care using fresh and carefully crafted ingredients. The only knock I have is the food is priced at a premium, but the experience is not hampered by the pricing. I look forward to a return visit.

Pharmacii is an incredible tasting experience. Every menu item is explained when delivered to the table, showing the exceptional level of care. The interior has a very nice, dark ambiance; perfect for conversation or a night out. The drinks and food taste amazing, and the variety of options is plentiful. Every detail from the presentation of the dishes to the warm and attentive service, made the experience unforgettable. The balance of flavors and creativity in both the food and drinks is unmatched. I can’t wait to return and explore more of what this remarkable restaurant has to offer. Truly a gem!

Loved this place. Super cool vibe inside with great music. I bet it would be a blast in the summer. Tons of creative cocktails and a whole slew of premium soju and sake - I didn’t know enough about the Asian drinks to know whether it was worth the price, but I got the cheapest sake on the menu and was happy. The food was unreal. They are shareables and come out staggered, but everything was great. I recommend two of the small plates and only one big plate for two people. We had the Korean BBQ chicken, dumplings, kimchi rice and bulgogi. Everything was fantastic - it was hard to finish the kimchi rice so we took it to go (large portions). This was really good stuff. I have had a lot of Asian food where it is very salty but that is the exact opposite of Pharmacii. It isn’t anything like takeout - it is your typical Korean dishes but with a very cool twist. As mentioned the vibe is really cool. There is a level of sass in the menu that you will respect. The staff at this restaurant work hard to make their vision come true and aren’t going to put up with anything that doesn’t fit into that! Definitely will come back to try some cocktails and try more.

Pharmacii in St. Catharines is a small, charming spot with a cool, laid-back vibe that's perfect for sharing delicious plates. We particularly enjoyed the Korean Fried Chicken, which was crispy and flavorful, and the Bulgoghi Jeon, which was a fun and tasty experience. The Shaker Fries added a playful twist, and the Crispy Pork was another standout dish, perfectly cooked with a satisfying crunch. The service is friendly and relaxed, contributing to the cozy atmosphere. Although the location is on the smaller side, it adds to the intimate and welcoming feel of the restaurant.

Had a great meal here with a large table of 8 friends where we shared several of their top menu items and we were all very impressed! Service was quick and the cocktails were unique (plus reasonably priced!) We shared the korean fire chicken, bulgogi, shaker fries, and a few more sides but unfortunately I only remembered to take one photo lol (steak tataki). Great place for some high quality korean fusion - would recommend this place any day.

Great spot. Beef tartare is arguably the tastiest most creative out of the 6 other restaurants I've tried. The outdoor patio needs some sprucing up, but I can overlook that for the amazing food!! If you are visiting for the oysters, call ahead as they run out fast.

First rate. This place could hold its own in Toronto or New York, so we’re lucky to have it here in St Catharine’s. Every dish is an interesting experience, a delicacy, a reward. A perfect balance of salty, sweet, and richness.

Food here is always great but the cocktail prices are ridiculous (they are good though). I usually stick to beer anyways…

The food here was superb, as was the one drink we tried. We ate on the back patio, it was nice being able to eat outdoors under an evening sky. Service was a little slow, I think they're understaffed, but not obnoxiously slow. I'm surprised this place has lasted as long as it has though, unless the owners' parents are chaebols, since they don't do takeout. They also seem to have a chip on their shoulder about other things, judging from the (really nicely done) menu/magazine. If it's still around when you're looking for a place to eat I highly recommend it - if we were around a few more days we'd go back for dinner several more times just to try the dishes we didn't get to try the first time.

The food we had was quite excellent. At the beginnign servie was quite good, then declined as we were ignored by the new person coming on-shift. It's a small and interesting place and the principal down-side was that seating was not comfortable. Would we return? Yes.

This place has been on my list for a while now. They seem quite popular from their social media presence. I'm glad to have checked it out as soon as the ban on outdoor dining was lifted. The ambiance was nice and we were seated quickly on a Friday evening. It's a cute restaurant that boasts Asian fusion inspired cuisine and alcoholic beverages. I enjoyed a fruli "polar beer" and fruli sangria. Among two people, we also got two appetizers and an entrée. Trust me, we were stuffed. The shaker fries were super crunchy and yummy!! They also sell store related merchandise. I also found their restrooms to be...eye opening haha. I'd probably come back if I was in the area. Not a bad place :)

This place is so cool! The ambience is really nice and it's just a chill place to hang out with friends to grab a bite and some drinks. I'm a lightweight so it was really cool to have an option to request a drink that is customized to my taste (easy to drink, fruity, etc). I got the steak tataki which was so good and the bartender made me a peach and cranberry cocktail. I will definitely be back!

Had an amazing visit to this cool little cocktail joint in St.Catharines. The tunes were great (hip hop) the service was on point, the drinks were out of this world, and the food was delicious! All the cocktails were so tasty, we had 9 of the 11 in total. By far the favourite was the Winter Valhalla, it was white rum, pisco, vanilla infused coconut milk, sesame syrup a d cardamom. It was the best drink I've had! You can taste the care that went into making it! The food we tried was also amazing. We had the shaker fries and some special chicken, that was battered and deep fried soft bone....something. It was deep fried goodness. Can't wait to go back and try some more drinks!
