A temple of cool; each and every touchpoint of the guest experience well executed, great F&B options, helpful staff . The Drake continues to set a very high bar for boutique hotels the world over.

For the cocktails , the art , the ambiance, the clientele, the celebrities, the music , the rooms and the cuisine … nine years later it remains just as relevant. [Eater 38 Member]

The atmosphere and bar here is amazing! Gordon makes the most amazing Ginger Rogers in the world — get it. A can’t miss place if you’re going to Toronto!

Rob Iacocca

Great breakfast with lots of selection + the house coffee is really good. Sit on the café side of the restaurant if you’re looking for a bit more of a casual vibe .

This steel foundry from the 1800s has been transformed into an intimate inn boasting views of Lake Ontario. Expect a ping-pong room and restaurant with vintage furniture . Fun and Familiar. Read more

Live music , contemporary art , fantastic food & a boutique hotel all in one trendy package. Tip: on a warm night you want to be in the VIP section upstairs- get there early to avoid another lineup.

Sammie Russell

We went for the easter special. 2 courses for $35 and bottles of wine $25. Everything tasted delicious and the service was great.

Kate Gomes

Loved the hotel . Very relaxed and cosy and a great part of town . But too expensive to stay for more than a couple of nights

Taus

Cover is $10 after 10 pm on Fridays and Saturdays. Or get here before 10 for dinner and drinks and stay for the dancing !

Michael

Awesome bar , food, but most importantly: trivia . Fun and difficult enough to knock your trivia buff friends down a notch

Pól Ó Cleirigh

The scones as a start are gorgeous. I got the chicken and waffles after which, while good, did not compare to the scones in tastiness

Albha Egan

It’s a nice place for a brunch but on the more expensive side. It’s also confusing trying to book a reservation as they has multiple locations.

Trisha Harris

The White Wine Sangria is a great summer treat under the sun or in the dark of night on the Sky Yard !

Niloo Izadi

Excellent rooftop patio ! Unlike many similar places, they take reservations . Food prices are somewhat steep though.

Steve Johnston

Their awesome patio is second to none, along with their delectable menu of entrees and finger foods.

The Drake Hotel's rooftop Sky Bar is one of the best summer patios in the west end; even in winter they've got an open fire pit

Lauren Simmons

Burger is actually one of the city 's best. Sushi is fine. Edamame is so good, huge portion . Good VQA selection by the glass. Desserts are the best kept secret, ESP sticky toffee pudding .

Elnaz Taqizadeh

AmateurConcierge

Swanky hotel hang out with multiple eating venues and cool music programming by night

DJ Pete Digital

It's incredible the way you can move from one area of The Drake Hotel to another while still maintaining vibe. Underground to Cafe to Patio to General Store even. I here ice cream is coming soon? Read more

Octopus was surprisingly super delicious. Pork belly demolished me--soooo fatty. Instant food coma

Ayana Nneka

Don't leave without getting an extra serving of their home fries ... They're that good!

Joel

Super awesome roof deck ! Plus the pancakes on the brunch menu are serious AF

Jessica Beers

Sangria with Tromba =???????????? Lobster nachos , and the pork taco are amazing. Pass on the charcuterie board though, disappointing.

THE_MAN

Bring hand sanitizer, there are tones of derpsters here. Get some man pants derpsters. Skinny jeans look silly.

Barry Martin

Anything Chef Anthony Rose lends his time to is worth tasting. But these days I'm feeling the Fish Tacos . Could be the patio weather. And the Patio .

Travel + Leisure

Owner Jeff Stober sees the Drake as a cultural space for Torontonians: The hotel employs a full-time curator and rotates its collection every month.

Lara

We usually go there for breakfast . We went for dinner yesterday and I was shocked with the prices on the menu.

Rachel B

Some great art and cocktails . They even have regular mindfulness workshops.

Always something going on at the Drake, especially during festival time. One of the few spots in the city that regularly secure 4 am extended licenses for special events . Click the link for event info Read more

My favourite patio for sipping Caesars in the summer! Try ordering the house made chips , with yummy blue cheese dressing , to balance the spiciness of the Caesar. Read more
