Great place for a tasty, fast meal before the theatre. The menu has lots of options, including a great prix fixe deal. Our server was very diligent in checking with the kitchen to accommodate food allergies. Not sure if it was just the night we attended, but we appreciated the noise volume was low enough that we could have an easy conversation. First time here, but we'll be back!
There wine special is an absolute steal! We got the Pre-Theatre pre-fixe and the quality and portions were outstanding for the price. Would recommend for anyone looking for a good quality and great value restaurant before a show.
Bland food, slow, inattentive service (example: the water jug was empty when they came to pour water. They said they'd come back and never did). Capitalizing on a great location to provide subpar experience
Great spot to get brunch before a show. It was a bit busy and service was slow. Food selection was great and good value. Recommend the french toast.
We choice Salmon and fish and chips for the two of us. The salmon was excellent as was the presentation. The fish and chips was also very interesting and was not greasy at all. I would recommend it to your customers. Carrot cake for desert was perfection.
Warm welcome upon arrival, quick & efficient service. Food was delicious, love the new menu items. We shared the Mac & cheese bites, Brussel sprouts & shrimp crostinis, they were amazing! We both had the short rib which was delicious! Topped off with the ice cream Sunday for dessert. Truly wonderful.
Our server was knowledgeable, professional and personable. She ensured we ate well and didn't rush to go to the theatre afterwards. Thank you 😀👍🏻
Another delicious meal at O&B. We are not adventurous eaters but decided to try some new menu items and are so glad we did. The Korean Breakfast Bowl and the Chilaquiles were delicious. Saba was once again our Server and was as friendly and accommodating as always.
Nice ambience, busy place. Servers were attentive and came by often to check on you. Chose the theatre 3 course prix fixe, which was a fair price. Portions were good. Food was good, main course could have been seasoned better, brownie was so good! Service was quick.
We dined at O&B Canteen prior to seeing Peaky Blinders at TIFF on Friday March 6, 2026. We were interested in the prix fixe menu where we could order 2 of the 3 courses. My guest ordered an appetizer of daily soup (tomato pureed with chickpeas) and we both ordered mains of Salmon & Leek Pie which was the most delicious meal and I ordered carrot cake for dessert. Each course was beautifully presented by our server Kiera who was both friendly and efficient. Thank you, Kiera.

I haven't eaten at the Canteen in many years. The quality has gone down significantly. The menu is basic and the quality is fair. It could be time for a menu refresh.
Went to O&B Canteen before a show nearby and I had a Kale Caesar salad followed by pesto salmon on butternut squash! It was drizzled with pistachios and was incredibly delicious! The salmon is on their fixed-price menu and I was raving about my amazing meal to family & friends the following day :) I hadn't realized until my meal arrived that the two ladies at the table beside me had ordered the salmon as well and they also clearly found it delicious :) I'll be definitely return and will order the same meal again!!
Our usual spot before watching a play. This time was under-par. Brunch menu is very limited. We miss several items. Food was ok. Service wasn't great. We were not impressed tho most recent visit.
Food could be better quality. Sambal fried rice had barely any flavour. Chicken rice had not much seasoning within the rice and very bland. The hong kong milk tea lacked flavour. Everything was bland. Nasi lemak was the best, and was barely ok.
