Just came here for lunch on a Wednesday and I'm so glad my friend recommended this restaurant.
The Gabardine feels like a Queen West hipster restaurant but with the business crowd found on Bay St. The place was packed by 12pm so if you're coming for a weekday lunch make sure to arrive slightly earlier. There was soothing music on and Edison lightbulbs above. A very cozy place but does get loud when the crowd come in for lunch.
Staff here were amazing. Our water was never empty and our waitress checked up on us several times and told us about the daily specials before ordering.
The food was amazing. I got the sirloin bacon cheeseburger and it was just full of flavour. The price is on par with most lunch restaurants in downtown Toronto.
I'll definitely be back to try something else on the menu.
