One of my favourite restaurants in the city! The food is always amazing and the seasonal menus change just enough to keep things fresh while still keeping the classics you want to come back for again and again. The cocktail and wine lists are great and the service is always excellent.

We had nice Saturday blunch at Bar Koukla. Foods were delicious and satisfying. Pancakes and syrup are surprisingly not so sweet, which I liked. Servers are attentive and friendly. I hope there are more lunch options to choose from but it’s a place to enjoy alcohols so I understand. 🐟Koulouri Troufa (Cold smoked trout, feta dip+) 🐏Patates Arnaki (Lamb shoulder, poteto,feta+) 🥞Baklava Pancakes 🍸Spiced flappe 🍍Fresh pineapple juice

Came for lunch on the weekend not knowing they only offered brunch. The food we got was good, but the service was not. I liked that the lamb burger didn't have the aroma of lamb that I typically dislike. The baklava pancakes were fine. Interesting but not amazing.

Really delicious brunch spot with foods you don’t usually find at typical places. The truffle scrambled egg on sesame bread was delicious, though it could have used more salt. There was a perfect amount of truffle flavour that the sesame complimented perfectly. The bread was surprisingly a donut shape, but it was actually the perfect amount of bread to go with the eggs. The lamb sausage dish was also a hit with roasted peppers and tomatoes. The sauce reminded me of a shakshuka with tomato and pepper tastes. The peach panna cotta was my favourite of them all. They used real peaches and the tartness of the greek yogurt balanced the sweetness nicely. Overall a really nice place, dishes are on the small side but it’s a good amount for brunch. We saw many people not even finish their dishes anyway. Will be back to try the other food soon.

What an AMAZING find! The food, service and European vibe, we were totally taken by delightful surprise :) Sarah, our server, was charming, knowledgeable and helpful when we were navigating our way thru the tapas style menu. Btw the lamb ribs were off the chart amazing. I never had lamb prepared like that before. Hopefully the pics do the food justice cuz it was sure d e l i c i o u s !

I recently visited Koukla Bar and was quite disappointed. If you're hungry, I wouldn't recommend going there. The menu is very limited, offering only three types of kebabs and a few appetizers. We couldn't find anything appealing, so we ended up just having a few cocktails and then went to a restaurant across the street. The open kitchen means the restaurant is filled with food smells, and the tiny tables make the space feel cramped. You can feel people walking behind you constantly. This place is only good for a quick drink before heading to a proper restaurant to eat. Additionally, they limit your time to 1 hour and 45 minutes, which is actually enough because there’s hardly anything to order. I don’t understand the high ratings. The pictures looked great online, but the dinner menu is quite different from the brunch menu, which has more variety. So, if you're looking for a satisfying meal or a relaxed evening, Koukla Bar isn't the place. It's more of a fast-food, fast-dinner experience that feels rushed and limited.

We had an amazing dinner at Koukla restaurant in Toronto! The plates are perfect for sharing and offer a delicious Greek-style experience. The patio ambiance is fantastic, making for a wonderful dining atmosphere. Don't miss out on the desserts—they're absolutely delicious! Highly recommend!
