| - Insomnia Restaurant & Lounge located in the heart of Annex is a cafe by day, and trendy restaurant by night. It consistently delivers great food, music, friendly service and has a wide variety of martini and cocktails, making it the perfect spot for, well, just about any occasion! The restaurant has a relaxing and inviting ambiance with dim lighting and upbeat background music.
Live DJs are also featured nightly at 10pm, which provides some pleasant, although not overpowering, entertainment. There is a fair amount of seating considering similar venues in the are and some lounge seating in the back of the restaurant which is really cozy.
The menu is a mixture of Mediterranean, French and International flavours. The wide variety of over 50 martinis is perfect for Martini Madness, which happens every Thursday night ($5 Martinis and $6.50 Premium Martinis). Not a martini type of person? The restaurant also offers $4 Steam Whistle pints! And If you can't make it on Thursdays, Insomnia offers daily events and specials catering to everyone's needs each night of the week. On Fridays, they have $3 Jameson Shots and $3 Candy Apple Shots, and the $11 pizzas are always a hit on Sundays.
We've been to Insomnia more than a few times, and their tasty Rosedale pizza-pesto, portabello, sundried tomatoes, red onion, chevre & olive oil-is amazing, but Thursdays are by far the best day to go.
The late night snack menu also makes for a perfect romantic date, or a catch-up with the girls. One of our favourite items on the late night snack menu is the Calamari Po' Boy sandwich: two small sandwiches with crispy calamari, fresh lettuce and spicy aioli, super yummy for only $5!
Insomnia is open late 7 days a week from 10am to 2am, making it the perfect spot for breakfast, lunch, dinner and post work entertainment in the Annex. If you haven't been yet you are missing out on one of Toronto's best!
