Hidden gem ... mad I didn’t discover earlier. Expensive but completely worth it. Burger is incredible, roasted hen is amazing, awesome craft beer selection .

Brandon Wong

Marben feels like a big city restaurant tucked away in a secret corner. They grow a lot of their herbs on site. Make sure to try the mushroom stuffed burger and decent selection of beer .

Burger was real good like gormet styles, braised beef was very braised and spicy risotto was RED featuring really big scallops which is good thing. Service was good bartender has accent that good

TIFF 2012 TIP: On any given night, this is where the beautiful people go to eat incredible food. For TIFF, this is only amplified. A great bar and wine list only add to a "ne plus ultra" experience Read more

Consisyently good food. Great vibe. Good cheese plate and charcuterie . Great looking cocktail menu , need to try. Appropriately pricey . Not insanely busy.  Liking the vesterbro.

You will never meet a better Restaurant than Marben Restaurant. The service and food is Best I ever had. I'm there every Wednesday for Sausage league. Brought other friends and they are hooked now.

Burger great gormet styles,beer good, beef braised and spicy , risotto was very red and featured scallops . Server had accent which is very important

Kittie Chan

The rabbit ravioli with fresh basil is one of the best dishes I've had! Suffered in consistency though.. as the second time unfortunately was not as amazing.

Eater

It upped its ante with a revised menu that brought it from being just another restaurant to a farm-to-table dining experience. [Eater 38 Member]

The Benny for Brunch is great. I really like the interior in the restaurant and the patio is a welcome bonus.

Nacho Yague

Good brunch menu . Rosemary homemade sausages are a great side option

Porter Airlines

It’s a dream come true for any carnivore. Meat straight from their very own farm , a drool worthy rustic menu, and a monthly pig roast , you simply can’t go wrong. Or hungry.

Joe Manuguid

Lively crowd with a great patio . Be sure to try the foie gras "tiramisu " it's so original!

Y Kim

For Winterlicious 2015, would recommend this set:Ontario Apple & Machengo Cheese Salad ; Johns Burger ;Vanilla Panna Cotta

Kat Jovey

The burger , the ginger beer , cocktails , pasta . Honestly the menu is amazing

TIFF

They're cooking a Festival film-inspired canapé menu every night. Visit marbenrestaurant.com to see what the daily film theme is & don't forget to show your ticket stub for a free ice cream sandwich !

Alannah Copetti

Yo the braised beef is spicy and amazing burger is fucked in a good way. Paper towel isn't as fancy as it use to be

Kitchen Coach

Sit at the Chef's table . Always a good way to know what you are eating. The staff always makes you feel welcome

Dose.ca

Amazing food. Just ignore the menu and ask chef Ryan to bring out a selection of whatever's good that evening. I can't get enough of their lardo on the charcuterie plate !

Silvia Jonas

Yummy!!! Try the Pan Cristal, seviche, Smoked Risotto and the avocado/chocolate mousse .

Cynthia Abuyuan

Having a lovely meal with friends. Trying the number 2 burger in the dot! The smoked trout here is excellent.

HanBi K

Good food, good service , good interior

Sidd Rawte

The burgers are the stuff of legend and lore! The seafood is very good!

Brian Newman

The burger is one of the best in Toronto, and damn fine for anywhere

Kris Karski

The pork fritters (rib or pulled pork - depends on when you're here - are amazing. As is the service.

Jason

I liked the burger . The server told me they just changed their menu recently.

Jordan Bushell

Burger is outstanding, best in the city . Sit at the chefs table if you have a chance.

John Edgar

Well worth sitting at the chefs table and just letting them cook for you. We sat for 2 hours and ate -- amazing.

Good if you want a bite - not if you are hungry as a bear - although great mini-burger

Baharinaaa

Rizzotto had a unique taste.

Brian Shim

Overall very good except: Monthly pig roast a great concept; meat was flavourful, but dry. Atmosphere was beautiful, but wineglass lights were very dirty and was afraid stuff would fall into my food

Port Harbor Homes

Great artisanal cheese offering and cool menu!

Victor Esposito

Rabbit , gnocchi , roast beef and scallops are amazing!!! Must have.

TIFF

There's a server who looks like Zach Ganafalakis. Call him Zach for a free glass of wine .

Brunch is awesome def try the bread pudding french toast you will not regret it

Rebecca Ho

Risotto was goopy and lacked flavour. Portions overall were very small. We also waited over an hour to get our food - had to miss the reservations we had post-dinner. Will likely not be coming back.

Laura P

Ordered French toast with Peameal but they won't give it to me even though they have some. They're saving it for those who might come later and order a different menu item: the benny. Geesh, really?!

Matan Werbnerr
