Starving Artist - Etobicoke

Delicious food and super friendly and helpful staff. It's also super clean and inviting. My husband and I had such an enjoyable time! They also serve some of the best coffee I've had in a long time! It's pricey for the area, but honestly worth it. You absolutely get what you pay for :

Really terrible location. It took us 20 min to get our coffees, and then another 20 min to get our food (after reminding them, as they clearly forgot the orders). In fact they brought one plate out then asked what the other one was and then brought that after a bit. The poached eggs on the Benny were more hard boiled than poached as the yolk didn't ooze or run. Our table didn't get any water until we asked them for some after our food came even though they brought our (empty) glasses for water when we sat down. Wouldn't ever return to or recommend this location

This is the WORST location of this amazing restaurant mini-chain. Starving Artist is great at every other location, except this one. Even today I ordered through Uber (because the Runnymede location wasn’t available) and my poached eggs were basically hard boiled and my B.Benny had no hollandaise sauce, not even on the side! Not the mention the side salads came with a mini Kraft Italian dressing packet…other locations cook the eggs perfectly, you get a fresh balsamic vinagrette, and they NEVER forgot the hollandaise. I knew it was risky ordering here, but I love this brand and wanted to treat myself. Unfortunately I was left disappointed by them AGAIN! I’m not sure if it’s an issue with management here, or the staff just do not give a damn…but it shows. Tobias needs to sort this stuff out asap! I’ve been a loyal fan and supported since he started on Lansdowne over a decade ago. Makes me sad…and still hungry!!

Food was amazing tasted so good and the staff were very nice . Great place!

Food was great as always. Service was decent. Poured water into the glass but before I could take a sip I could smell foul odor. Just a simple request please have your glasses go to the rinse cycle. Due to them not being cleaned properly your coffee's and Nutella latte has a weird after taste.
