We had a great time at SCHOOL! The food was delicious (we got the “Safe Bet” and the cheddar burger and were both very pleased! Nice portions and well seasoned food. I really like the vanilla honey butter that came with mine for the Challah toast! We also tried the house blend coffee which was fantastic (even black how I prefer it) and the hot chocolate was good, just make sure you give it a good mix! I also had the rotating flavoured lemonade which was pomegranate and peach-delicious! The food was expensive, but that’s to be expected at any boutique experience restaurant in liberty village! The service we received was great, the host was nice and got us a nice table next to the garage doors (we didn’t find it to be too cold at all, even in a February snowstorm)! We made a reservation which I definitely recommend-there was a huge line on our way out! Our server was the perfect amount of attentive and had great energy! The school theme made for an adorable atmosphere, it’s super cozy and it’s fun to look around at all the little treasures scattered around-the details are really the cherry on top here, especially loved how the lemonade came in a little science beaker! Overall a great experience-we will definitely be returning! Thanks SCHOOL!

I absolutely loved the Safe Bet brunch and especially the Synonym Toast that was smothered with decadent dulce de leche, cream cheese frosting! Right from the first bite, it was so delicious, and I'm not even exaggerating. The coffee was aromatic, and the strawberry lemonade was refreshing. Service was amazing from the hostess right to our server. The School Restaurant is definitely an 11/10 for me!

Made a reservation for Sunday and it was a super seamless experience. Busy but service was lovely and attentive. I ordered the Synonym Toast and it was DELICIOUS - sweet but not overly sweet, came out fast. Would definitely recommend a visit.

If you’re looking for a cool and laid-back spot to enjoy brunch on the west side of Toronto, School Restaurant in Liberty Village offers a unique atmosphere that blends urban charm with a relaxed, community vibe. It’s the perfect destination for a casual dine-in experience, especially on a weekend when the neighborhood comes to life. For the best experience, ask to be seated on the patio—there’s nothing quite like enjoying a delicious meal outdoors, surrounded by the buzz of the city, while breathing in the fresh air. Whether you’re catching up with friends or just unwinding after a long week, brunching in Liberty Village lets you soak in the neighborhood’s trendy yet welcoming energy.

We were able to snag a table while the Toronto marathon was going on and it was about to get very busy! But even still our server Jacob was very attentive (while training someone no less) and the food was delicious. We got the Apple Crumble Cakes, Golden Hashbrown Poutine and The Safe Bet and were very pleased. The Crumble Cakes were my personal favourite. Would definitely recommend for a nice Sunday Brunch. (Although try and reserve a table - it gets packed!).

Very good atmosphere and value for money. We tried their ‘The Safe Bet’ and ‘Black n' Blue Flapjacks pancakes. Safe bet is a classic breakfast and the pancakes were the right amount of sweet. It does not leave you with the overpowering sugar rush.

SO GOOD!!! Wow. This was one the best waffles I've ever had. Their back patio is so cute in the summer months. We had the chicken and waffles, blueberry pancakes and the hash browns. Everything was better than I expected. Don't skip the housemade iced tea!

I always hear how good the pancakes are here so finally got to give it a try! They definitely live up to the hype but surprisingly it wasn’t my favourite dish of all - the hash brown poutine exceeded any and all expectations Sounds so simple but the gravy along with the toppings was packed with flavour - it also tastes healthier than it seems (HIGHLY recommend this)
