For over 30 years, the Free Times Cafe has been a staple on the Toronto roots music scene, with nightly live music showcasing some the best folk and acoustic artists in the city.
In addition a diverse menu of Jewish, Middle Eastern, and Canadian dishes, we also serve up daily market-fresh specials, and are famous for the traditional Jewish fish and dairy buffet on Sundays.

Fabulous Sunday Brunch
May 27, 2015We were taken here for the: 'Bella, did you eat?'Jewish buffet Sunday brunch. It was so so good and so plentiful. Fantastic, friendly atmosphere. Brunch was enhanced by the music of 'The Horribles' who were not horrible at all but a lively band who played, appropriately, Jewish music. Great for all ages. You need a big appetite - the hostess... more

Love this place
May 18, 2015I used to live really close to the Free Times, years ago, and each time I'm back in the area I try to visit. The neighbourhood has gentrified quite a bit since then, but thankfully the "Bella! Did Ya Eat?" Sunday brunch hasn't changed! It is my favourite brunch in the city. There is such a great atmosphere, with live... more

Intimate Music Cafe
December 10, 2014My partner & I spent the evening here watching/listening to a folk group performing folk songs of the 60s. They played in a very intimate setting - 30 people or so. It was wonderful to be involved as the group promoted sing along with almost every song. At the break they made a point of going from table to table... more

Brunch buffet...Are you kidding me
December 06, 2014I trusted the reviews and suggested this place to my friends for a Sunday brunch. what a mistake. It is way far from a good one. Very little variety of things with a really low quality. The only type of egg they had was scrambled, which was cold and tasteless. no omelette, no other type of egg. very few salads,... more

Really interesting menu with mix of european dishes. Our server was just amazingly friendly and funny.
There was a music room in the back but nothing going on in there when we were there.

Sunday brunch or open mic...both great
February 19, 2014
Love the Sunday brunch and live klezmer bands... Done it many, many times... Loved it!
We went for an open mic night... Not expecting much. Fun atmosphere, good food, and worth doing again! Would feel comfortable going solo, too.

Unique, fun and delicious brunch - does help to know the food though
December 29, 2013There are so many great places to eat in Toronto but this cafe is distinctive. I would have liked to try the main menu but it was Sunday so we ended up at the brunch which is popular (so do call for reservations). The regular menu has Jewish food and others, brunch is all Jewish. And what a spread! For... more

The place smells like urine. The menu is mediocre and ridiculously overpriced.

The back room at the Free Times Cafe is the definition of intimate. It is small, warm, and dim. In the winter especially, with steaming drinks on every table and someone strumming a guitar, you feel as if you are in a log cabin away from the city. The cafe usually draws artists and musicians in their late 20s and up, patrons who like their service without the attitude.
The Free Times is also...

Known as one of Toronto's most popular folk clubs, this resto-bar just west of the University of Toronto campus offers live music, poetry readings and dramatic performances to go along with its Israeli/Middle Eastern-inspired cuisine. Try the bowl of matzo ball soup (CAD3.95), or a deli salad that combines eggplant, beets, cucumber and couscous (CAD2.95). For a full meal, go for the falafel... more
