Luma

To start we had the Luma Parmesan Fries. They were too salty but overall still very tasty. The Beef Tartare and the Scallop Ceviche were fresh and flavourful. The Cesar Salad was enjoyable and the white anchovies were a nice touch. An entrée that stood out for me was the Roasted Pork Belly. The different textures and flavours were complementary to one another. The herbed farro risotto made every bite so satisfying. The Truffle Mushroom Rigatoni was also a favourite amongst the table. The Chocolate Mousse Cake is a great choice for chocolate lovers. Not too sweet but very decadent. Having it accompanied with a cappuccino on the side was exquisite. The assortment of cocktails were delightful. Love the names. The table was thoroughly impressed by the presentation for The Queen of the South cocktail. Not only was the ambience and setting superb, the staff were also very friendly, attentive and courteous. The second floor patio overlooking King St West with a perfect view of the CN Tower was a charming touch. This is random but the hand soap in the bathroom was so pleasant. The small details are what make a restaurant enjoyable. You can tell by the attention to detail how much care and thought has been put into this establishment. One of my new favorite spots in Toronto.

Luma delivers amazing food and attentive service. Highly recommend the truffle mushroom rigatoni! It was so rich and creamy. Also, the Scallops ceviche was a crowd pleaser. It was super fresh, and the presentation was cute.

Went around 2pm and it was super empty in the restaurant side (late lunch so we were very hungry)- yet we still got our mains 1 hour after 😭 the carbonara was surprisingly not that tasty, i would not get it again. Service was also pretty bland. I would recommend the fritters

Lovely restaurant located in the TIFF building on the second floor. Very open ambiance with friendly and attentive service. Decent happy hour drink selection. I got the salmon dish - it was cooked very well with a crispy layer on top, and corn chowder that was very tasty!

Hidden gem on the second floor of the Lightbox. Food was superb & TIFF was just beginning so very busy around the building. Views are also a plus dining here. There is also an outside patio if you're after alfresco dining.

Went here around 530pm, it was fairly empty. This was my first time here. The staff was attentive and friendly. I ordered the ceviche and one wine from their happy hour selection ($1 less expensive). The ceviche was small; like 5 bites small (don't let the pic fool you; the shell it's served on is almost fkat). It was delicious, but for $28 it should be bigger. Sorry but will opt for a bit more food for the sake price elsewhere.

I remember visiting this restaurant before COVID, it was not a bad place to eat in this neighbourhood. I visited this place again this week and I was really disappointed. I think there is a pretty big gap between the quality of the food and the prices LUMA charges for it. For example, the crispy pork belly risotto was not well prepared. The pork belly was not thoroughly cooked so the inside of the pork was distinctly different from the outer edges. The fatty part in the middle was pasty where the outside was translucent. The cocktails were decent, but not $20 decent. The service was attentive and that remained the bright spot of the visit.

A fantastic city centre restaurant. Great menu, lovely food - something for all tastes - a very good wine selection and to top it off brilliant attentive friendly staff. Great evening out.
