Bar Koukla

It's a beautiful restaurant overall ans the service and location was great. They offer reservations for brunch which is nice. The food is not expensive but portions are on the smaller side. There were some issues with the food. The hollandaise oil was a little split but the flavor was. The pancakes were OK but they looked more interesting than it tasted. It's worth a try but maybe not a regular spot.

Lovely brunch spot. Our server was friendly and walked us through the menu. Dishes were unique and full of flavour. Highly suggest ordering the pancakes for the table to share.

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 !

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

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. Edit: came back for dinner which was pretty mediocre compared to how good brunch was. Scallop and tuna had a tough cut of fish so for some reason it wasn’t very tender. Sauces were olive oil heavy but still light. Lamb ribs were good and tender, it helped a lot with the sauce and pickled onions. Eggplant dip was okay but also olive oil forward, didn’t expect the eggplant to be stone cold but still an okay dish. Would rather just come for brunch.

3.5. Did not love our experience at Bar Koukla. Nothing was explicitly bad, but overall it wasn’t great. The server was so kind and fun but it took forever to order drinks and to get our bills- she kept leaving and coming back when we were paying and it was really tedious to keep asking her to come back- especially because the restaraunt was basically empty that evening. I will say she was very attentive about certain details and took allergies very seriously which was comforting. The food was good, not great. Nothing was bad, but truly nothing stood out and the portions were really small! Much prefer Mamakas (its sister restaraunt) across the street. Our drinks were good and the menu sounded promising, but again very small portions and nothing outstanding. The atmosphere is okay- really nice lighting but open concept kitchen so you leave smelling like food. Also all the windows were open which is lovely but it was a very hot night so we were all sweating. They could use some fans on nights like that.

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.
