School Restaurant

SCHOOL Restaurant is an awesome brunch spot in Liberty Village. Be prepared for a wait (we waited about 1 hour on a Sunday holiday) but I feel like the wait is worth it if you have the time. Definitely try one of their sweet pancake / French Toast options (to share, or for yourself- I’d recommend the Synonym Toast). The Super Cheesy Bacon French Toast is a great savoury twist on the traditional French Toast. Coffee is awesome and there are plenty of cocktails. We will definitely visit again!

I've tried lining up at School the past few years but wait times were always extreme but this time around we got lucky! Just 30 minute wait. The food quality definitely lived up to it's reputation. I really enjoyed my super cheesy bacon french toast. Pancakes were delicious and if you're looking for something sweeter, their cinnamon french toast would be a wise choice. I find their chai latte a bit watered down? Chicken and waffles was great too. Chicken was juicy. We sat at the bar so we got to see some cooking and prep in action. Servers and staff were really nice and friendly! My only down side which isn't the restaurant fault is that there's a emergency shelter for homelessness community built right across from School. Right when we came out from the restaurant there was a lady holding a crack pipe screaming non sense at us and followed us for quite a bit. It was a scary encounter.

This restaurant was a good experience. The place itself is a bit small and your tables are close to others, but they make what they have work. The wait can be a bit long if you don't get there at a good time, but the food is worth it, great brunch spot, high quality food. Would definitely go back. If you drive it can be hard to find parking, but if you plan well, you will have a good experience. Staff is great and polite, and the coffee is good as well.

Hey gang, Back again with another review, So the girlfriend recommended this place, And it's a great little vibe, from the music, to the decor. It's definitely our type of place, and the food!!! I believe typically people come here for brunch, and they have simple but good menu, with plenty of selection. I got some pictures below, I got the safe bet, and she got the French toast which was more than a mouth full. Service was good, I'd have to say though. If you want to get a good spot, not worry about wait time, try to go before 11am Otherwise, there may be a bit of a wait time. But tables turn over fairly quickly so it isn't too long of a wait. But it's a great little spot after or before a hike, or just a tour on the town. This place comes highly recommended, for some solid service and solid food. See you next time folks, Cheers, Akil

Go early and still expect a line up, it’s popular- but we found it moved ok…we arrived about 10:30. I’d say it was 15m wait. When we passed by after 2pm, line was just as long. No reservations. Street parking free until 1pm on Sunday, and a lot beside that appears free? Inside, the food makes it all worthwhile! I had a mocha and decadent cheesy French toast and my friend had coffee (good) and the pancakes. Cocktails also an option. Everything was slow to arrive, even drinks; but kinda expected since it was completely jammed. Server was friendly (apologized for delay). Interior has nice vibe. It is pretty loud. We were also just inside door- which they left open so there was a consistent cool breeze (unpleasant) which meant keeping our coats on. I had visited a few years ago and enjoyed. Glad to get out and enjoy brunch!

Amazing food. The first time went with boyfriend for birthday breakfast. We were seated outside. There were tons of wasps around as our food was sweet. But we were told that nothing could be done. Second time we went table was broken, but stuff was accommodating and it was fixed fast. Food delicious. Portions are amazing. A bit pricey. Need to mention that for breakfast restaurant they have very poor selection of tea/coffee/etc. drinks

A top contender amongst the brunch spots in Liberty Village! Get there early, as there is always a line on the weekend. We got the Super Cheesy Bacon French Toast (topped with a generous heaping of Cheddar Jack cheese, served with Ontario Maple Syrup, and Mixed Greens on the side). This was such a classic diner or brunch dish, but beautifully executed. The thick French toast also helps balance out the flavours from everything else. And for our sweet selection, we got the Black n’ Blue Flapjacks (Topped with a Blackberry and Blueberry sauce, served with Brown Sugar Butter, Whipped Cream, and Maple Syrup). Blueberry pancakes seem to be all the craze at brunch joints these days, but these at SCHOOL were phenomenal, and I am not even a big fan of pancakes! Have each bite with one or all of the sauces, and it is just amazing.
