Comfort Food Restaurants near Richmond Hill, ON

“We truly enjoyed a leisurely lunch today at Kelsey's Richmond Hill. We need to give a lot of the credit and thanks to our server, Sarah, who was always there when we needed her. She provided us with some excellent suggestions for food and drinks as well as impeccable service coming from a warm and friendly person. While my wife was thoroughly enjoying a cup of tea and a hearty soup with salad and a sandwich, I was just beside myself with every bite of the mushroom melt burger. The burger and fries were prepared and cooked to perfection. I highly recommend that you try this burger, especially if you love mushrooms. Treat yourself. I was also introduced to a delicious refreshing beer called Muskoka Pineapple Ninja. I've never seen it before and it appears that if I can't find anywhere else I'll have to go back. All in all, this was a perfect afternoon. Also, we have promised ourselves that we are going to do this again next week.“

“We came on Wednesday around 1 pm. It was not too busy and surprisingly in most restaurants the less customers the worse the service gets so we were really delighted when we had food and service which was 10 out of 10. Our server was Zoran and he gave us maximum level attention and care. Our food, I ordered wings and fries and my friend ordered chicken sandwich and fries, was hot and delicious. Our desserts were delightful. Thank you very much, Zoran for your excellent service and thanks to the chefs for the great Swiss Chalet food. It was a perfect dining experience and we are both so grateful.“

“Great food, came with a big party and had great service!“

Happy Hour
Coconut calamari $17
Thick pieces of squid battered lightly and topped with crunchy coconut slivers. Very good. Though a bit expensive but good.
Original Bellini $5
Who doesn't like sweet peach slushy with alcohol? Pretty good. Would recommend if you haven't tried.
Ample parking, just getting in and out might be a bit challenging.
Happy Hour is a great option.“

“I dropped by for my birthday on Sunday. I must say that I truly enjoyed my meal. The ribs were soft and full of flavor and the drinks were nice. Shout big out and Thank you to my server,Nia, his customer service was on par and excellent. Made sure that we got our meals on time and that everything was ok. I will definitely be visiting again.“

“Visited to see what was available and found a comprehensive supply of Filipino goods at reasonable Canadian prices. The staff were friendly and efficient and speak Tagalog. I also tried the pork adobo and found it was pretty good. A good portion of rice and the adobo had a nice juicy flavour. The price of the adobo was $12 which would be the price I'd expect to pay for food from a food court. There were several tables available to eat inside.“

“After grocery we always go out for lunch and i find Swiss chalet good for my Boss who has Gluten restrictions. Some food are gluten free so its always great to come back for more delicious meal! Plus the promo or combo are very satisfying!“

“Claudia is awesome!!! What a great attitude and always there to make sure we are taken care of. The food is always good but having great service makes the entire experience wanting us to always return! Try the fish tacos!!! They are just right!!!“

“The food, the atmosphere and the service are all top tier. I am ADDICTED to their Smokey Gar Par wings. They are the perfect balance of savoury and sweet. My mouth is watering just thinking about them. 12/10 Would recommend.“

“We came in a group of 9. Two ladies came and started taking drink orders and it was very confusing as to being asked the same thing twice. They brought our drinks but forgot one of the kids drinks. 25 minutes passed and still nothing - the girls disappeared. We then met Shimeko Cooper and he saved the day. Saved the experience. Super friendly. Super attentive. I would recommend this place and ask only for Shimeko, he definitely is the best. Thank you so much!“

“Service was a little slow but to be fair was busy and not to much staff but I find honesty this is the best tasting swiss chalet I have ever been to it is the 2nd time going the first time the chicken was the best I have ever had to be honest was fresh moist just really great.“

“If you like delicious food, then this is the place, as well as for vegetarians there is a large selection.“

“Excellent breakfast omelette, home cut fries, Texas toast and a lovely fruit dish. Gelatto ice cream is first rate, too. Wonderful friendly, caring service. Will definitely have this place as a breakfast go to. Lunches looked very tasteful, wholesome, too. Very nice decor of the tables.“

“Fed up with a driver that can come up with an excuse twice now as to why he can't deliver to my door. I paid for delivery and I also included a tip. Called me twice last night for me to come to him. Hung up on him and I waited for delivery.

Thanks

I had a really nice time at dinner the other night. Daniella was my server was really friendly and welcoming. She made sure we had everything we needed and did check in.
If you get Daniella as a server you are in good hands !“

“Always an enjoyable spot for our family to meet for lunch. Now, they have live music. Awesome!“

“I got the turkey club sandwich and chicken noodle soup - both pretty standard. However, service here is fantastic and the lady that works here is absolutely lovely to talk to!

Compared to other sandwich shops/franchises, I found it a bit pricey for the amount you get, but it tastes very homemade and healthy.“

“This is a MUST GO TO Restaurant. I went for breakfast on March 20/23. My experience started with the best service from General Manager Gary Anthony. He was friendly, informative, and fast. The breakfast menu has everything. I love Eggs Bennie. While my style was not on the menu, Gary made it happen anyway. THE BEST EGGS BENNIE EVER! Gary recommended the Banana/Orange/Strawberry juice (it says fresh on the menu). I asked if it was "that grocery store brand" that shall not be named here. He said NO, we made it fresh from real fruit in the blender. It was like a smoothie from heaven. I will return often. While I live about 30 - 40 k from this restaurant (I had an appointment near it that morning) - I will be returning again and often. Next time I'm bringing my wife - She'll love it. Thank you Gary.“

“They have great food there but don’t go there hungry. You will be waiting forever for your food. We had many instances where we waited way too long for our food that we just decided not to go back. We stayed away for awhile and thought to give it another try tonight. Not only did we wait forever for our food, others got seated & served before us. I waived the manager down and she gives the excuse of the waffle maker being broken then the waitress says it was because they got our slips mixed up. They gave me antra salad to make up for it and my kid got sprinkles on his waffles. No discount on the bill. I loved going to this place but we will not be visiting Symposium again“

“Wonderful place on a Saturday afternoon, sunny or cloudy. They are great staff. It can be slow because there is one employee on. BUT that is ok with me as I want to relax. Having more than one server is not justified. I hope people understand this when going in there. 😎“

“I had today the so called white meat sliced in strips with some broccoli and noodles.Stay away from this place. They use GLUE to bind the disgusting chicken!!! The whole meal was disgusting and ended up in the trash!! If you value your health stay away from this place!!!!“

“Be coming to this place for many years - never had chance to try the other offerings - try to stray from their Gamja tang. Hard to do - comes in a boiling hot stone bowl fill - meaty tender bones, veggies and a potato. Kim chi and a bowl of healthy rice is included. Service is always with a smile and feel like a very valued client.“

“I’m a regular customer of their fried chicken, and my whole family likes it. Given the combination of quality, consistency, and adherence to halal standards, I consider this to be my preferred choice for fried chicken locally. I would recommend it without hesitation to families and individuals seeking a reliable halal option. Its the best halal fried chicken I have found in Canada“

“Came for Valentine's lunch before a movie and was pleasantly surprised. Had the avocado lobster toast which was absolutely amazing along with drinks and chowder. The steak and eggs were nothing special though, and steak was overcooked. But overall loved the experience.“
