This truly is a special place. The food is very unique and flavorful! We HIGHLY recommend the pizza... Thin crust with perfect amount of crunch. We have been coming here on the regular for dinner and often get the tortellini with it as well. Great chill atmosphere. A most go to spot for dinner in little Italy. A landmark... more

Great location. Cute terrace with green plants and original lighting. However, abysmal service: absolutely no one came over to check up on our food, to bring us water (!), to bring the missing salt and pepper to the table. What we believed to be the owner kept creeping around in silence, cold and uninviting. Best part: complete disregard for food allergies. We specifically stated that one of us... more

Have been working in the area and decided to meet up with two girlfriend post-work for cocktails and eats. Have always walked by here but never thought to stop in. My pals (who live in the area) told me that not only did the patio make for good people watching but they had some of the best sangria in the city. I was sold.

The patio is huge and does offer up some great views of College St,... more

We received terrible customer service from an employee of yours named Andre and then from your manager Ansley. My boyfriend and friend had lunch in the restaurant, as I am home sick, he ordered me a salad to go, specifying no dairy as it is an allergy. Upon bringing the salad home it looked like there were sesame seeds on it (which I am unfortunately allergic to too) so to be safe we called... more

Rude management/service!!!!!!!
Can't believe how they treat customers.

Food was really mediocre. Not really sure what style of food the restaurant is serving. Israeli/Italian?
Odd menu. Some of the dishes almost had a freezer/refrigerator taste to it.

Won't be returning.

Came here for brunch with a group of people.

They accommodate groups well and the staff are attentive. The environment is nice.

The Napoleon is good. It's 2 pouched eggs on salmon, spinach, mushrooms and placed on croissant halves covered in a dill sauce. (3/5)

The French toast was plain and dry. (3/5)

The attention to detail is lacking. The pineapple garnish was a few days old. The coffee... more

Amazing food, old-world charm! My husband and I came here for an impromptu date on Thanksgiving long weekend. Place was mostly empty due to the turkey holiday, of course, but that's exactly what we were looking for. Got a cozy table inside, although the patio looked romantically perfect too. Service was attentive and prompt. But the food was the best part! My hubby got the Seafood Linguini and... more

Middling restaurant in the Little Italy section of Toronto. Mussel pot was fine as were most of the other entrees. Prices were fair and they were mostly allergy friendly.

Even though there were many empty tables at 8:30PM they squeezed the 5 of us into a small booth.

Overall it was acceptable, but given the choice I would explore other nearby options before settling for Kalendars.

When my family and I had lunch here the other day, the food was COMPLETELY INEDIBLE.

-I ordered a 'smoked salmon quiche' (there is a choice between smoked salmon or spinach) and I received a soggy, microwaved spinach quiche with a piece of smoked salmon sitting on top of it. (They could have just told me that they didn't actually have smoked salmon quiche!!)
-Salads were gritty and tasted of... more

Really enjoyed my salad. It had some of the freshest peaches I've ever had in a combination of walnuts and goat cheese over spring greens.

Such a disappointing experience. Extremely rude service for no apparent reason!

My husband and I came here for dinner this past Friday evening on a friend's recommendation. It was a warm evening so we sat on the patio. We chose our picks from the summerlicous menu, then ordered some drinks. Our drinks came promptly, as did our appetizers - grilled calamari which was just OK.

The problems... more

Nice little place with a cozy patio. Went as a part of the Summerlicious menu. For appetizers I got a lobster bisque, which was mediocre, entree was a veal masala. The two pieces of veal was half tough meat and half nicely tender meat. Served with a sauce not worth mentioning, 1,5 roasted potatoes and four pieces of broccoli. The cheesecake was okay at best.
Service was relatively slow, but I... more

Great food and service. Loved the warm mushroom salad. Others in the party enjoyed the Pizza one and the wild mushroom risotto. Happy Canada Day!

This is a cute little spot on College Street for breakfast or brunch. I love the coziness and the ambience of the environment. The food is moderately priced with decent portion size and tastes great. I would definitely be returning to this place.

Came here for winterlicious dinner ($28). For app, had calamari and soup. The calamari was good, soup was average. For mains, had salmon (overcooked) and veal with mushrooms (not a fan). Dessert was good - nice big slice of cheesecake, and I can't remember the other dessert we got.

Winterlicious at Kalendar? No thank you. I haven't been since 2011 when I moved from Toronto but it remained one of my favourite restaurants in the city. Until today. I hope that it's just the winterlicious menu... but I'll be honest I'm afraid to try again with so much other choice in Toronto. Starter was ok, the entree (steak) was pitiful. I could have made a better steak at home, never mind... more

We came as a group for winterlicious 2017. I didnt like the decor but it was a cozy comfortable restaurant. My friends and I enjoyed our meal. It was a wonderful winterlicious menu. Lobster bisque had chunks of lobster meat and well flavoured. I ordered the salmon which was cooked perfectly. The steak was enjoyed by my friends. The grilled calamari was so juicy and tender. Portions were huge... more

Nothing really was impressive, but the space looks nice. Food was pretty tasteless. Attempted creativess but failed.

Kalendar has a unique atmosphere, it's like stepping into a quaint cosy cafe transported from a small town in France to the the streets of Little Italy. The furniture is all in dark wood, the lights are dim, and none of the clocks works. All the better to lose track of time over a meal!! I came during the first cold spell of the winter, so the outside patio was already closed but looked to be a... more

When I walked by Kalendar's for the very first time, I was attracted by their patio. Tastefully decorated with plants, flowers and hanging gourds, their patio was super cute and romantic for dinner and drinks! I went there with my roommate and we had a corner seat. Normal street level noisiness since it is on College St.
Food was alright. I ordered their "scrolls" which looked pretty good.... more

I ordered a grilled cheese with asiago on multi grain. It came with sliced tomato on it and a side salad. The salad was awesome. It had bruschetta-type topping on it that was delicious. But the sandwich was awful. A simple grilled cheese i thought would be safe! The bread was super dry and I felt like I was biting into cardboard. Plus the tomato was ice cold in the middle. I know asiago isn't... more

We met some friends for a reunion. What a disappointment this place was. The atmosphere is okay buIt a bit noisy. The server was friendly but the food took forever to arrive. The food was pretty disappointing. The menu offers some creative descriptions but the actual food is pretty bland. We had the "scrolls", Pizza Four and one of the pasta dishes. Bland and disappointing. I could never get... more

Meh... Used to love the food here , came tonight for first time in 2 years and was very disappointed. Had the salad I used to have ... Half the size, over cooked chicken and overpriced . Great service but forgettable .

Love this place. Great in Summer and Winter with lovely patio and cosy interior. Good drinks and tasy food. The scrolls are delicious and filling and I order the same scroll 4 every time! Half scroll is huge btw!!

Food is OK, the Tortellini is quite good. When I asked how old was their management and they said that it was 3 years old or so I understood why the place is that mess. I knew Kalendar from what people use to tell me, and they described the "old kalendar" as a magical place. I felt nothing like that.! The place is dying. One can see the atmosphere fading away. If the new owners don't bring that... more

I had not been back to Kalendar in about 20 years and to my surprise the menu had not changed - the scrolls that I remembered still on the menu as a few pasta and meat mains. Unfortunately the service was beyond bad. The server never checked in with us, and when she did, we asked for extra pita (as they didn't have bread) but this only came after my husband finished his entree. The food was... more

Atmosphere was okay, even though it was empty the service was s@!t. I wouldn't run to get back.

If you're looking for a brunch spot that doesn't require an hour wait; Kalendar is your spot. I've been here twice for brunch and been seated immediately and there's still tables left over.

The downside is that their brunch menu isn't overly extensive. They have a handful of omelets, steak and eggs, French toast and that's pretty much about it.

The plus side is that their coffee is delicious.... more

They have nice drinks and a really nice atmosphere. Nice place to meet friends. Food is okay - not outstanding. Recommended: Kosmo (drink) and mushroom wrap.

3.5 to 4 rating.

food was good. i ordrred the lobster ravioli and my bf ordered the seafòod risotto.
to be honest it was good not exceptional but fkavourful and the portions were grand. the bill was but pricey with a tea and beer but all in all a decent experience. decor had a vintage feel...hard to describe. but its a cozy and good date place as it is quiet and therefore potentially romantic.

This place is cozy and has a warm home feeling to it. The idea for the restaurant was unique with all the seasons laid out around the place.

I decided to be spontaneous and order the Butternut Squash filled Ravioli combined with regular ricotta cheese filled raviolis covered in MAPLE CREAM SAUCE and Spicy Italian Sausage.

The sausage was very thinly sliced and you can tell it was dry.

The... more

This place used to be great, however the new owners have effectively sucked all the charm and quality out of this once fantastic bistro. Don't go. The people running this place care nothing for the customer and only for the bottom line. They should be ashamed.

The ambience is very warm with lots of wood and exposed brick, and dim lighting. Music was mostly indie rock (Arcade Fire, Feist), not too loud but loud enough to hear it. Our server for the evening was excellent, very friendly and helpful. They don't take reservations, which wasn't a problem on a Sunday.

We ordered a bunch of items to share and everything was tasty, although perhaps not... more

Toronto can get busy, remember when choosing a place that planning ahead is best in these large cities!

We were able to find one of the last tables here, many other places were full. The restaurant itself is romantic and has a very nice decor as well very good service. This is a nice date night place.

The food was just okay, they kinda have a fusion thing going on. Like here is your Italian... more

We tried Kalendar for the first time last week and we were very impressed! Awesome little patio and great atmosphere. Our server was very friendly and made us feel at home. We had mussels, pastas and a scroll - all excellent! A little pricey but definitely worth it.

Beauuutiful interior that is casually date-worthy but gah, I can't get over the absolutely FORGETTABLE food. My friend and I tried the scrolls and the monk's tonic - really, nothing to write home about for these items. Try again later... maybe...

Nah, there are better places to patronize. Save your monies.

Checked out this place in the winter
I loved it
So hearty and filling
Had this roti wrap thing - forget name but well worth it
Cozy spot
Sign outside states best date spot in Toronto for like the last thirty years!!

Cute restaurant with a wooden interior - classic but not grungy.
I tried Pizza Four, which comes on a flakey dough - simmilar to puff pastry dough. This results in a flaky texture but a limp pizza - I personally don't like limp pizza, I prefer to have it hold in my hand, but if you do like this I would definitely recommend the pizzas.
My friend had the seafood pasta and it was SO good. For the... more

Most romantic restaurant in TO my A$$! From the photos you get an impression that it will be a beautiful and warm Parisian restaurant, walking in it is ANYTHING but!
It was cold and not welcoming at all, particularly from the Serve staff. The music was all Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z, which I don't mind but it didn't quite fit the place.

Our waiter was a thin straight haired brunette, she nice... more

Love the decor (scored the back booth in the front room)! Menu is great with lots of interesting selections. Had the half scroll #6 - no cheese. the chick pea flour flat bread is basically like a roti. It was SO delicious and creamy tasting when I took my first bite, I had to call the server over to make sure they'd left out the cheese (they had, it was delicious horseradish mayo). My lunch... more

Went here for a night out with a girl friend. Great atmosphere! Great food! There were so many options I wanted to try. Great options for vegetarians, pescatarians, lacose intolerant... (I could see why they would advertise as the "best first date night spot") I will definitely be back.

After tax and tip my meal (soup and a shared appetizer) was only $15.

Cute decor! Not a whole lot of seating. Tables in the bar were tight and table was wobbly.

Had pizza and salad that was good.

This place is very charming. It has great ambiance and very nice lighter fare. In the summer you can sit on the patio, but all the charm is inside. I've had a very nice first date here once... but I digress. It's very well located in Little Italy.

The food here was absolutely delicious. It seems to have an Indian-fusion-inspired menu, with interesting takes on various dishes. All very delicious. The staff was very friendly too.

Atmosphere:
Dim-lit, very charming and vintage looking and very romantic.

Food:
We had Scroll Eight (oven roasted chicken, cheddar, black bean hummus, mango, red pepper, tomato & fresh cilantro in a chickpea... more

So wrong, but could be so right

Nice atmosphere inside and has an outdoor patio.
What we ordered: I had a Naan 4 - which is naan bread with melted cheese, pine nuts, dried cranberries and chicken on top served with a salad. The combination of flavours was very good. My daughter had the omelette 5 without tomatoes which was grilled onion, smoked salmon and dill. It... more

Best hamburger EVER

I'm not sure what planet the people who dissed this place are from, because we absolutely loved our lunch at Kalendar on College!!
The beef burger was homemade and perfectly spiced - not too much, just perfect! And cooked to perfection as well. My hubby had a HUGE ruben sandwich and a awesome spinach & arugula salad with a spicy... more

Great neighborhood hangout

Very pleasant atmosphere and a kind of original menu and presentation. Nice outside area on the street side. Great for leisurely breakfast or lunch. Seems to be busy all the time. Service is friendly but not that fast.

Love the Food and Atmoshpere

I love going here....I love the atmosphere and the food has always been excellent. Wish I lived in Toronto so I could go here more often.... more

Nice atmosphere; dismal, unfriendly service

I ate here recently for the first time, but won't be back because of the dismal and uninterested service, with the ever-familiar snotty attitude I see at popular places, of waitstaff who seem to think they're too cool to actually be doing what they're doing, ie serving people for a living.
The atmosphere is lovely, with dark wood booths and... more

Nice Vintage Interiors. The food: forget about

The staff is really friendly and the interiors is very nice. Upstairs.
Downstairs is dirty. And kitchen does not look good as well.
Problem is: food. C@!%!y. I could save the soup. The pizza was terrible. Probably the dough was previously frozen, but for sure the quality of the crust was poor.
Not that I espected a real one from... more

Very nice and tasty place

Сome here for the third time and each time getting better and better. We had the whole family to celebrate a birthday and everyone got their favorite portion. We ordered a lot of hoping to take some to home but ate everything. I especially want to mention lamb and pea soup. The service was perfect, the price is not cheap,... more

Disappointing

We met some friends for a reunion. What a disappointment this place was. The atmosphere is okay but a bit noisy. The server was friendly but the food took forever to arrive. The food was pretty disappointing. The menu offers some creative descriptions but the actually food is pretty bland. We had the "scrolls", Pizza Four and one of the... more

Cute but noisy

We went to this small, cute place around 8:30 pm on a Saturday night. They don't take reservations, and I read online that they were voted the most romantic restaurant in Toronto last year, so I was worried about getting in. The hostess told us it would be about 20 minutes, and found us a seat at the bar to... more

Another ho-hum place

Not sure about this place. I mean, the scrolls they offered were weak, the staff was great. Most of dishes came with naan. Bartender was friendly. I do not know, the food was not up to snuff. I walked by this place during the summer and the patio looked cool, but tables were cramped and felt uncomfortable inside. Great location.... more

Great Fare

We went for dinner at Kalendar and were seated fairly quickly at 7:15pm on a Saturday. This is my first time at this restaurant for dinner and I found that overall the service was quite good and the food of good quality.
The challenge I have with most restaurants is that the noise level is very high and having a... more

Brunch was just OK

I was hoping for a great brunch, and I was disappointed. The quiche (salmon) was awful. It was full of onion, and one slice of smoked salmon on the top.
I also ate the carrot ginger soup - and honestly, I make a better one at home!
My friend ate the eggs 'benedict' on a croissant, and the eggs were... more

Something different for lunch and brunch

Looking for something different for lunch? Then this is the place. Yes, they have a number of the usual soups and salads, but their nanettes and scrolls are a cut above. Good variety, attentively served, relaxed atmosphere. We wanted a weekday brunch, and although they only offer a separate brunch menu on weekends, we were pleased with the offerings on... more

Good place for brunch

This place is very good for brunch. However, it is always busy with lots of students, so the atmosphere is a bit downscale and you will see lots of "earthy" types. the food is limited but acceptable, they are consistent and unpretentious. THE scrolls and nanettes are very good. Warning: for some strange reason they add cinnamon to the coffee,... more

Terrific dinner date spot

My wife and I went for a late dinner on a Friday evening while visiting Toronto. We stopped to look at the menu and decided to go in. Great choice! We enjoyed the fusion of Indian and Canadian sensibilities and flavors. The warm wild mushroom salad was a treat, the mushroom risotto was a little salty but still delicious, and... more

Overrated, especially "Scrolls

What ARE these "scrolls" exactly and why do they cost so much? I'm not sure why this is consistently rated as one of the top most romantic restaurants in Toronto. There is certainly nothing romantic about the windows fogging up in the winter due to human respiration and perspiration.

Good little spot for Sunday Brunch

Went here on the first stinking hot summer day in Toronto for brunch. For whatever reason, my expectations were low. Sat on the shaded patio, and had an awesome special scramble. Nice breeze blowing as well. A good spot to go and not have to line up, like many other breakfast joints in town.

Interesting menu

Enjoyed dinner. Menu is varied with Italian and Indian choices. Nice variety of wines at reasonable price. Service was good, but not pushy. Interesting re-use of the building so there are lots of options for seating.

It went downhill

Ordered a beer, it was served warm. My husband and I ordered different scrolls, but the same size and his was twice the size. We both thought our food was stale, the chicken in each was dry and tasted like it was cooked days ago. I found that the food was really outdated, there's so many better choices in terms... more

Great Lunch

We walked a long way to find a restaurant recommended in Fodor's guide. When we got there, the restaurant looked very poor. So we turned back and went to Kalendar which we'd walked past. In short it was great. Very friendly staff and their inventive use of naans as a pizza type base in their "nannettes" was great. Food was... more

Good food

Food was very good, Risotto is amazing. Good selection of beer and nice outdoor seating. Service was friendly and efficient

Neat but Noisy

A friend and I wanted a drink and simple sup at 9 pm Saturday evening. Two tables for two were available, so we grabbed one in the room with the bar.
Kalendar looks like a high-end pub. When we dined the lighting was low; the effect was pleasant. Tables are close together and the room was very full when we... more

Awesome food, great cozy space

We went here based on a recommendation of a friend. It was a girls brunch and this was a great venue. I had one of the flatbreads with spicy sausage, artichokes and roasted red peppers. It came piled high with salad was so delish! My girlfriends had the naan sandwich (awesome) and breakfast omelette - fantastic. Freshly squeezed juice was... more

Lazy Sunday brunch

Sunny Sunday and a good brunch resto-picture perfect at Kalendars. We ordered eggs napoleon-salmon and poached eggs on croissant, French toast, vegetarian quiche and steak and eggs and these were all delicious.
Nice outside sitting, place can get crowded though

Great brunch

pros:
- amazing/tasty brunch
- great ambience
- freshly squeezed orange juice
cons:
- sometimes long waits

Cosy gem in Little Italy

We went for Sunday brunch, ordered juice, mulled wine, etc, like the decor and cosy feeling, good value as well.

Neat place, interesting menus

Interesting menu of "scrolls" which are fun wraps served with very fresh salads. Cute place but close quarters. 3 visits in total, enjoyed each one. Bit of a wait on weekends, particularly in the summer, but far from long. Solid place on College Street.

Great Late Night Italian

Kalendar is a great little place to go for Italian in the evening for a date, or with friends. I've been three times, and each time I enjoyed it. They have a good wine list and the food is very good. My favourite dish so far is the lobster ravioli - highly recommend!

Love Kalendar! Food is always exceptional. The Butternut Squash Ravioli with Sausage is AMAZING; the Maple Poached Salmon is also realllly good.

Consistent Vibe

My wife favours this restaurant amongst the countless choices in Little Italy. We have always had a good time here. W.e are careful to deliberately visit during non-busy 'off' hours, because we can't abide loud volumes. Good food and drink, but perhaps a place that wins more with its attractive, quasi-Euro vibe. The service is good too. Locale is great... more

Relaxed but refined

My best friend and I had just left the seamstress for my bridal gown fitting on a Thursday evening - which happened to be Dia de los Muertas (Nov 1). We first tried to get a seat at a popular Mexican restaurant on College St. but continued our search for a late dinner after discovering it would be a 45... more

Unique menu...food was fast and tasted great. Service was lackluster. Worth going back though

Late night good eats

On a hot summer night there's nothing like sitting outside enjoying a nosh and a beer. We had pizza and the crust was thin and flaky with interesting or standard toppings. Friendly staff.

Naan...yummy!

We Expected More

My son and his fiancee think very highly of Kalendar, but I guess my choice of entree wasn't the best. The four of us dined on a Friday evening. We were seated quickly, but although the restaurant was not full service was cheerful but slow. I loved the decor...it reminded me of England.
We began with the small Hummus platter.... more

Nice restaurant in Little Italy

We had Sunday Brunch there today and the food was excellent. The service, however, was a different matter. We were here 2 years ago and nothing has changed service wise. It seems as if the staff need to be pushed by the Manager. Not an inexpensive restraurant where an English Breakfast tea costs $3.95 CAN

Great little restaurant in Little Italy

Nice little spot with friendly servers and delicious food

Great find on College St

We were really planning to eat lunch elsewhere on College. Got there, paid for parking and saw the place had gone out of business. We started walking and saw a packed patio of diners at Kalendar - we figured that was a good sign. The menu looked promising, so in we went. Low key atmosphere, not much of a decor,... more

Not a happy experience

The food was fine. The decor is humble. It is not terribly loud. But the waitress was so-Toronto-cold-fish, robotic. She did organize a faux smile which she hated to disturb by speaking (it is just SO uncool to speak today for a certain set). She could not have been less helpful. The lady next to us tried real hard at... more

Unqiue food

Really delicious food. Definitely opt to get the skrolls... it's their unique type of food. Essentially, it is a mix between a wrap and roti. Basically like a wrap that is filled with deliciousness. I got the special and it came out really hot. The restaurant is very small and cozy, so it can get a little louder at night.... more

Still Charming and Lovely

It had been at least a decade since I last visited the lovely Kalendar on College St. in Toronto's charming "Little Italy" district. My friend was visiting from France and was getting married to her Canadian husband in Toronto and I suggested we meet up at Kalendar, which had a lasting memory on me from all those years ago! Well,... more

Not to be Missed

My boyfriend and I spent our anniversary at this restaurant. The staff here was amazing; sharing their honest opinion about the dishes we ask about. If you do ask for a recommendations, go with what they recommend!! I learned this lesson when I ordered the Black Bottom Pecan Pie Cheesecake when the daily cheesecake was recommended. It was a bit... more

Great Recommendation

We ate here after a recommendation from a local and had a wonderful experience. The food was reasonably priced and the service was great. The staff monitored the atmosphere, choosing appropriate lighting and music. The staff were also friendly and ensured that everything was in order on several occasions. It was stated on the menu that in peak times sitting... more

Trendy spot

Jammed much of the time, on one of the trendiest streets in town. Noisy, with OK food.

Warm, inviting, with great staff

I've been to this restaurant countless times. Such a warm inviting place to go in the winter with a big fun patio in the summer.

Great food

My husband and I ate here because of the great atmosphere and emphasis on wholesome comfort food. We shared a Hearts of Palm Salad, a smoked chicken nanette, and Wild Mushroom Risotto with Shrimp and Scallops. yummy!

could have done better

I really like Kalendar. In fact, I'm the one who recommended Kalendar for a lunch gathering of colleagues - although it was a bit of a walk and meant we would have to move at a quick pace on our lunch hour. We indicated we were on a short time-line (1 hour and the restaurant was not full when we... more

Delicious food

My boyfriend and I tried this place for the first time with friends of ours who are regulars.
They recommended the Scrolls to us and it was one of the best meals I've had in a long time. I had scroll #7, my boyfriend had the lobster ravioli and they were both delicious.
The atmosphere is also very cozy and... more

"""Great, fresh lunches in a cosy atmosphere and at very reasonable prices."""

"""food is ok, atmosphere is nice..location is good"""

Absolutely scrumptious to the last bite

This very unassuming bistro cooks up and serves the most absolutely scrumptious food - from appetizers to salads to entres to deserts ... And the wait staff is incredibly attentive and friendly without being pests. We could eat there every night - we almost did this past week in the city.

Great atmosphere, good food

I go to Toronto all the time and decided to try out some new neighborhoods. This restaurant is in a great location near Univ of Toronto and Kensington Market. The drink prices are very very reasonable and well made, service was perfect, the indoor and outdoor seating is great and the food is good. I'll definitely be back.

The scrolls and naans are the best on the menu. Known for their wide beer menu. Service is typical College Street unfortunately.

Yummy Sangria and Food, painfully slow service

Food is wonderful. The Sangria is delish and so is that rhubarb pie!!!
BUT, the service was pitiful and very slow.

I went again last night with a friend and we sat on the patio outside in the front of the restaurant....We both tried to Scrolls #6 delicious with the salad, also very good...price is really good and fresh I recommend trying the Seafood Appetizer special salad it is yummy! The service was very friendly and the waitress asked about our meal and seemed to care...how often does this happen in... more

The ambiance at Kalendar is really a pleasure. It feels like a cafe in Paris, the food is excellent, and their bar is beautiful. Try their smoked trout and their smoked salmon nanettes, both are delicious and really affordable, and their patio is great!

Fabulous Food

I went last night with a friend we sat on the patio and tried their Scroll #6 Yummy...with the salad so fresh! We also tried cocktails and were very pleasantly surprised at how yummy they were in Toronto rare! The waitress was friendly and asked how our food was and cared how rare and what a treat that was! The... more

Awful taste in the mouth…and not

As frequent travelers my wife and I always look for places where we can feel like locals, even more so in Toronto, where we used to live for almost a decade of our adult life. Since we started coming back to town more frequently Kalendar looked like a promising place - a little café on the College Street where frequent... more

Scrumptious "Scrolls" in Toronto's Little Italy

For a short while, "before kids", my husband and I lived in Toronto's Little Italy. Kalendar was a favourite restaurant at that time and today, it remains a "go to" place for us on those rare occasions where we have a babysitter. What I love about Kalendar is that it is a comfortable, casual-yet-trendy restaurant that fits the bill for virtually any occasion be it date-night, girls night out,... more

I had always wanted to check this place out as it looks so appealing from the outside. Went there with my girlfriend and I was impressed by the environment. Great Bar for having a beer and a really cozy environment.

Service was good. I asked the waiter for his recomendation and he suggested that the lobster ravioli was amazing. I assumed it would be made on site but I asked him just to check... more

Service and food at Kalendar have declined in the last year.

While the patio is lovely, this is my third visit in a row where food orders were either incorrect, or the food had to be sent back. When the food did arrive it was mediocre at best. Poached eggs on their signature "Eggs Napoleon" were so over-done the yolks were like golf balls. This would be the type of thing covered in Cooking... more

Excellent time and food, feel in France while yo dine!!! it is a
unique food! Scrolls...oh my god

Nice place to hang out with friends. I don't remember eat...

Nice place to hang out with friends. I don’t remember eating anything memorable. It’s all about being seen in this place, not so much the food.
