Their Ukrainian borsch is just perfect and only 4.5 for a large plate.
Atmospherically, Chopin is not your typical trendy Toronto bar decked out in salvage-chic decor. Here you will find a basic dining area decorated with framed photos of the eponymous composer, the major sporting event of the day on the big TV, and posters for local Polish community events taped up around the door.
But what this place lacks in appearance appeal it makes up for in every other...

We've been coming to this restaurant for over 10 years, always happy and pleased with the quality of the food.
Tonight however was a nightmare. Not the food, but the service. Being the only two people there, we were privy to an hour long conversation between the wait staff and customer service of a phone company. The waitress was belligerent and very aggressive with the customer service...

I liked this restaurant-- we went to Little Poland since I absolutely love polish food, but weren't able to make it until fairly late in the day (9 PM on a Sunday). All the restaurants that were technically supposed to be open were closed, but Chopin Restaurant was open. At first glance Chopin Restaurant looked like a sports bar, but were advertising authentic Polish food, so we gave it a... more
We went there for a bite, we had the mixed perogies and they were gooood... we enjoyed the different flavors. I am not giving Chopin more stars because we only had the perogies, it was early (so the place was empty). Will love to try other Polish dish.
Decent place. I've had the same waitress both times. The joint definetly has character including the big TV at the back that is always playing retro movies. Food is yummy and the portions are a good size. Last time I had the Weiner Schnitzel. It came with coleslaw, beets and a big fried egg on top. The soups are also pretty decent
The restaurant has a plain setting with warm wooden tones, nice to get out of the cold. I had the beef goulash and my partner had the Polish Plate for 1. We could have both shared his meal and had some to spare. My goulash was fairly plain, but the potato dumplings were totally worth it. I ended up trying everything on my partner's plate and much preferred his dish, especially those potato... more
delicious daily specials, cheerful and tasty, with fresh herbs and a good healthy balance in the ingredients. friendly people. and last but not least, a great value for money. just check it out.
The Farmer Soup was good as were the perogies but the broth in the borscht was really thin; more like beet consomme than soup. I also found the schnitzel a little tough in the centre and the outside was not as crispy as I would have liked it.
The service was friendly and quick and the portions were ample.
I had the Polish Plate for 2 which is potatoes and cabbage served in every possible way imagined: Pickled, fried, boiled, stuffed, and sauced. If you are hungry, it is easily a Non-Polish plate for 3. $35.
My group liked the straightforward Eastern European fare and delighted in the live piano music (which earned Chopin an extra star in my book). My sister liked the vegetarian Ukrainian borscht with mushroom dumplings, despite finding the broth a little thin. My friend's favourite dish of the night was the tripe soup, which he described as piping hot and hearty. He also happily downed several... more
