Barchef

definitely a full sensory experience. for the modernist cocktails they have the actual drink and an edible portion. the drinks were super balanced. the strawberry basil spritz was my favourite of the evening. they also make such amazing negronis! the hosts were really welcoming and our server was really sweet (can’t remember her name off the top of my head but it started with a B). will definitely be back.

This bar is amazing. The drinks were great in taste and presentation. Good atmosphere to hang out with friends as well. I ordered the Sesame Samurai, Strawberry & Basil Spritz, and Sailors Mojito, with a side of truffle fries. First time visiting this bar and definitely not my last, recommend others give it a visit as well.

This bar is amazing! They do some really cool stuff with the modernist series cocktails. Not only do they look beautiful but they taste phenomenal. I would highly recommend this bar for a night out with friends, date night, bachelorette, etc. The prices are on the higher end but it’s worth it for the quality.

I have never experienced anything like it here. I highly recommend you go. It is expensive but I felt it was totally worth it. The modernist series drinks came out with such presentation, it was like a show. Not only did they look great though, they tasted incredible. With evolving flavours and some with a delectable accompaniment, it was truly an experience. If you are living in or visiting Toronto, you need to go at least once!

Really nice space. Service was good. But it was incredibly hard to hear anything the servers were saying. Had great expectations that fell slightly short. We had a weekend in Toronto and experienced a lot of bars and this one just fell short in comparison. The cocktails were good there was nothing wrong with them but there wasn't anything exceptional about them either. Instagram photos are fabulous and I feel like this is a place that you visit once and perhaps you don't need to go back to again.

BarChef is honestly such a vibe! This intimate cocktail bar serve drinks you've never seen before! Some may argue their cocktails are gimmicky but I absolutely love the creativity and complexity they have to offer!⁣ ⁣---⁣⁣ 💨𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐟𝐟𝐥𝐞 $𝟑𝟎 (𝘉𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘧𝘧𝘭𝘦 𝘴𝘯𝘰𝘸, 𝘴𝘮𝘰𝘬𝘦𝘥 𝘴𝘢𝘭𝘵, 𝘤𝘰𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘶𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘢𝘮, 𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘻𝘦𝘴𝘵, 𝘨𝘪𝘯, 𝘤𝘰𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘶𝘵 𝘭𝘪𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘶𝘳, 𝘥𝘪𝘭𝘭, 𝘦𝘭𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘭𝘪𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘶𝘳)⁣ An elegant drink with sophisticated flavours. This cocktail is both sweet and savoury. The actual alcohol was a bit out of my palate (too bitter) but I found the black truffle snow to be very intriguing and tasty. ⁣ 🍋𝐒𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐫’𝐬 𝐌𝐨𝐣𝐢𝐭𝐨 $𝟑𝟎 (𝘚𝘱𝘪𝘤𝘦𝘥 𝘳𝘶𝘮, 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘩 𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘦, 𝘮𝘶𝘥𝘥𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘵, 𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘢 𝘢𝘪𝘳, 𝘤𝘳𝘺𝘰 𝘮𝘰𝘫𝘪𝘵𝘰⁣ 𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘴, 𝘤𝘰𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘶𝘵 𝘨𝘦𝘭, 𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦)⁣ Honestly can't go wrong with a mojito. The mojito pearls were both refreshing and addicting. I didn't expect the rum to be as strong as it was, but the acidity of the limes and the rounded sweetness of the vanilla really tied it all together.⁣ ⁣ 🍍𝐏𝐢ñ𝐚 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐝𝐚 $𝟑𝟔 (𝘊𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘦𝘥 𝘗𝘪ñ𝘢 𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘢𝘥𝘢, 𝘤𝘰𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘶𝘵 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘬, 𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘦𝘥𝘢𝘳 𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘣𝘦𝘵, 𝘳𝘰𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘱𝘢𝘱𝘦𝘳, 𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘨𝘦𝘭 𝘥𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘴, 𝘮𝘪𝘤𝘳𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳, 𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘰 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘦, 𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘤𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘻𝘦𝘴𝘵)⁣ ⁣This was the most beautifully unique cocktail/sherbert I've ever had! I hate the taste of coconut but BarChef really surprised me with this cocktail. You get bits of heat, sour, sweet and bitter-- honestly a refreshing treat with an array of textures. ⁣

Wow! What an experience! This place is a must try! The candlelit interior and sounds of casual conversation provide the perfect backdrop to some of the most incredible libations I have yet to savor. We tried this place on a whim…. And I’m so thankful we did! Caden and Ethan were the bartenders, and were awesome! They are extremely approachable and provided excellent insight to the vast menu of cocktails. Caden even asked us for our personal preferences and made us drinks tailored to each of us on the spot. This is a truly unique place and is something special.

** Top Shelf Cocktails 🍸 ** My wife and I went for my pre-birthday night out and made a great memory. The host was very polite and helpful; thanked us for our patience with a sample mix drink. The environment was just right. Comfortable seat, mood lighting, and the music was just loud enough to listen to while engaging in a conversation with my wife. Our waitress was very knowledgeable about the drinks and didn’t hesitate to make a recommendation based on our preferences. When our drinks were delivered, each drink was its own artistic display. Very visually creative while meeting the same quality in its taste. Overall it was a great night out and worth every penny for the experience. Would love to come again for a different occasion.
