Visitors to Union can expect a luxurious and inviting atmosphere, showcased in the dark woods and leather seating, with a menu that is sure to please any brunch enthusiast. On a recent visit, Union delivered quite the gastronomic experience with a wide selection of fresh flavours. The Pork Shoulder Hash, stewed Apple Pancakes, Union Breakfast Sandwich, a side of Fries and the delectable Sticky Ginger Cake, were all cooked to perfection by the chefs.

I like the vibe in their dining room. The place felt cozy and also that you're dining somewhere that's a nice environment to eat out at. I also liked the fresco painting on the wall above the seating. I tried their curry bratwurst sausage with fries and fried egg. This was a tasty and filling dish. I just wish they leaned into the curry flavour a bit more taste-wise. I get the vertical plating looks nice, but it also helps with the dining experience to have enough space on the plate to actually appreciate each ingredient separately as well as together. The dish was stacked high and there wasn't a lot of space to move things around on the plate without making a mess. I also had their pancakes, which was nice. It had a healthier and more robust taste to it, I think with buckwheat compared to the typical white pancake flour. I like the stewed apples on top as well as the maple syrup.

Our server was amazing. Super attentive, knowledgable of all the dishes and a pleasure to interact with. Big up York!😄 food was sensational too, we loved every dish we had. Nice presentation and even better taste, 10/10, highly recommended !!

Came here for my birthday, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The service was excellent, and the food was just as impressive. The fries were spot-on (because, let’s be real, not every place gets them right). The beet and apple salad stole the show, fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. And the hot ginger sticky cake? Pure perfection. Definitely a spot worth revisiting.

Terrible service. We came for brunch and I ordered the flat top sandwich. Most of the options with eggs has bacon and I asked if they had any substitute options they didn't even have avocado as an option. I expressed my feedback to the server at the time of ordering that their chef should have options for people who cannot eat pork, and she had a very dismissive and prickly attitude about it. After placing our food on the table, she didn't bother to come once to ask if we needed anything. No humbleness or training just bad unfriendly and inattentive attitude. On the food front, the eggs were ok, nothing special, and the bread didn't have the crisp chew. As well, butter and jam should have been offered on the side. I also paid full price for a dish that had bacon removed from it with no substitute. In our case nothing was offended cos the server didn't bother asking if we needed anything. Overall I would give the food a 3 / 5. The atmosphere and 3/5 and service a solid 0. Not sure I'll be coming back nor recommend this place it's clearly overrated in the reviews - there are plenty of other alternative options in the neighborhood.

The food was good. The beef tartar was amazing, as expected. We love how they roasted the bread with butter; it's crispy and flavourful. The sausage was different than we expected but in a good way. I like how they did the potato; it was soft but crunchy. The portion was okay. Two main dishes were good enough for the two of us for brunch. The restaurant is small, so you might expect to wait 15-45 minutes. The only minus point is that our server didn’t seem very friendly and attentive. He made us feel like we did something wrong when we asked for recommendations.

The food was amazing, everything was super fresh and they use local ingredients. I love that they are constantly changing the menu, I am excited to go back and see what they have. The staff was super kind and helpful, even the people in the tables net to us were friendly(:

Great food, cool ambiance. I recommend the steak tartare. Outside patio is covered during the winter but it’s not comfortable to sit there for hours. I recommend getting a reservation for inside

Food was delicious and reasonably priced / good portions. Had the beef tartare, oysters and few brunch items. Service was good and great environment for conversations
