First time visiting Borrel and I loved the atmosphere. Alison and Deanna were so welcoming, and the food was delicious. We enjoyed it so much that we ended up ordering more! Thank you for running such a wonderful gem. We’ll definitely be back.

We were lucky enough to pass by Borrel on a Stroopwafel Sunday. They apparently don’t do this every weekend, so watch on their instagram. It was absolutely amazing and a perfect treat while walking through the neighborhood. We’ll have to come back for dinner sometime

As a Dutch family living in Toronto for the past 2 years, this is our place to go for Dutch holidays, Dutch Soccer games & Dutch Kings day! Service always great! food is a great mix between classic Dutch dishes (boerenkool, snert, hutspot) and indonesian cuisine! We always love the dutch snacks for a guilty pleasure!!

Always a great experience - with Dutch heritage, it's like visiting a relative's home and the food is always fantastic.

Small cozy place, lots of good Dutch comfort food. Pretty legit, same as what I had in the Netherlands. A little on the expensive side, but that's Toronto for you.

A fascinating take on Dutch and Indonesian fusion. A little expensive.

Food was pretty good overall. I went there with a bunch of friends, everything tasted fairly good, but the Indonesian foods didn't taste authentic, but still tasted good regardless.

I ordered the lekkerbek n chips, which was fairly good, but nothing special. Fish is perfectly cooked, batter is delicious. The dipping suace is delectable! Portion is kinda small, overall 3.5/5

I also ordered the thousand layered cake, had this growing up, suprisingly really good! Tastes authentic, only issue is that it's really small and not sweet enough. Overall 4.5/5.

Pretty good Dutch food, meh Indonesian food.

We came as a party of 5.

BOERENKOOL ($20): (4/5)
Larger portion than I expected. The sausage was HUGE, super juicy but didnt taste greasy, and well-seasoned. The kale & potato mash was a little bland but the bacon bits saved it. The gravy made it less dry but was also a little bland.

SNERT ($20): (4.2/5)
Friend's order but I tried a bit of it. Looks small but very filling cos the soup is thick. Good flavour and generous with the bacon, sausages, etc.

LEKKERBEK 'N' CHIPS ($20): (idk/5)
Only tried a little of this one, the fish was okay. Friend said it was a 3.5/5 for him.

BAMI SPECIAAL ($21): (3.7/5)
Based on my Indonesian tongue, the babi kecap in it was sweet enough & very soft, just wish the rest of the bakmie was as sweet. They got the smokiness just right tho! Portion was kinda small.

NASI GORENG ($21): (bad/5)
Portion was super small for this price, esp when it barely had any protein in it, just an egg. My friend's order and I didn't bother trying cos she was so disappointed. Genuinely, how do u fk up nasi goreng??? At least everything else was decent.

SPEKKOEK - THOUSAND LAYER CAKE ($5): (5/5)
Super small and pricey (but don't complain cos thts just how it always is, it's VERY tedious to make). Friend said it tasted good--exactly like the one you'd get in Indo.

If I come again, I'll only come for the Dutch food. Ambience was nice, good decor! I wanna come back n try the bitterballen.

Discovered this spot trying to find somewhere to watch the Netherlands during the Euro Cup. Such an inviting little spot with authentic Dutch cuisine, will definitely be back to try more of their menu!
