5/5. Food was absolutely delicious. We tried the Chateaubriand and the meat was cooked to perfection. As a tenderloin cut, it was so juicy! Fries were well salted and perfectly crispy. French onion soup was packed with melted stretchy cheese. Garlic bread was garlicky and crispy as well. The complimentary pickled vegetables was a perfect combination to cut through any greasiness throughout the meal. While it’s a pricey meal, I’d say worth what you pay for.
Atmosphere was decent – there aren’t any windows in the room we were in, but adds to the rustic feel. Tables are decently spacious and there was staff everywhere – food was served decently quickly, water was constantly filled, and plates cleared quickly. Staff was attentive and friendly. We mentioned we wanted to share the French onion soup – and it was served in two bowls. Great service. Would absolutely come back! Great spot for a special occasion or if you’re looking for a good steak night.

Since 1959, Barberian’s Steak House has defined the classic Toronto steakhouse experience.
We started with one of the best steak tartare’s I’ve ever had, freshly seasoned, alongside an outstanding Caesar salad topped with thick-cut seared bacon that added the perfect smoky richness. The massive onion rings were golden, crisp, and a meal itself.
For mains, the 16-ounce rib steak with fries was cooked exactly as ordered — deeply flavorful, tender, and beautifully seared Chicago style to my liking. The side of mushrooms was rich and buttery, pairing perfectly with the steak. The half rack of lamb was equally impressive: super tender, melt in your mouth and cooked to a perfect rarity.
Dessert finished the night with a chocolate mousse layered in a rich white and dark chocolate shell, alongside warm apple beignets served with vanilla ice cream — the perfect sweet ending followed with an espresso.
Overall a fantastic, one of one special experience.
Well done!

Barberian’s Steakhouse remains a premier Toronto destination for a classic, high-end dining experience. Our party of four enjoyed an exceptional meal starting with the rich, crusty French onion soup and fresh steak tartare. The dry-aged porterhouse was perfectly seared and served with crisp fries, while the New York-style cheesecake with strawberry preserves provided a decadent finish. Between the top-tier service and the historic atmosphere filled with original Canadian art, it was a fantastic evening from start to finish.

House salad
Creamed spinach
Chateaubriand for two
Two glasses of wine
This place is amazing. The steak was cooked perfectly and seasoned very well. Every dish, even the salad, was delicious. I highly recommend Barberian’s if you want to try a great steakhouse. Reservations are recommended.
They have hundreds of wine selections, which is great if you know about wines.
It’s in a great location, right in downtown Toronto.
However, the tables are a little close together, so it’s not the best place to have a conversation. It was pretty noisy even without background music.
The only minor issue was about with a server. He tried to pick up my dishes couple of times without any notice, I hadn’t finished yet. I understood it was quite busy and loud.
But should be more careful!

Absolutely amazing all around. Steak cooked to perfection (highly recommend the 32oz Porterhouse to share for two). Everything is made in house including all the desserts (killer cheesecake!). Wine list is spectacular.
Top notch attentive service.
Huge thanks to our server (Aaron I believe- hopefully that’s his name, who gave us a great little post dinner tour of the beautiful wine cellar).
Highly recommended a must visit for steak lovers.

Had a nice welcome in experience , it took them a little bit to find our reservations but we were sitted pretty fast. We had the Onion soup and the soup of the day. Fillet Mignon and 24oz steak, which i cant stress enough how GOOD it was.
For desert we had the Barberian Chocolate House Mousse which i do recommend with coffee.
My honest suggestions is dont shy away from side dishes, they are great addition from tasting variety and pallette.
As far as atmosphere, the late night crowd might get a little bit noisy but not intrusive in my opinion.
My recommendation is to make sure to make a night out of it for sure.

Had a great first experience at Barberian’s. Came here as a walk in during a busy holiday season but the manager was still able to accommodate with very little wait time. The french onion soup was not that good. However, the rib steak was cooked perfectly and was very tender. The servers were all very attentive. Would recommend reserving ahead of time as it gets busy during dinner time.

A truly one of a kind steak house which served excellent steaks and delicious sides in a historic venue dedicated displaying all measure of “Canadiana”. Group of 7 paintings and newspaper clippings from the day of confederation adorn the walls of the cozy and atmospheric building which itself is a historical site. We have the porterhouse rare which was cooked and seasoned to perfection, alongside Rockefeller oysters, loaded baked potatoes, frites, and complimentary picked vegetables, all of which were excellent and individual highlights of the meal. Garlic bread is a must have both for its quality, steakhouse tradition, and frankly being the best value-‘indeed pick on the menu. Old fashioned was unadorned but good, as befits a steakhouse of its calibre. Prices reflect both the quality and unique setting, but I would still highly recommend everyone living or visiting Toronto try at least once for a special occasion.

We visited Barbarian’s for the first time on Monday, February 17th (around 8:10 PM) to celebrate our anniversary. We had high expectations for such a milestone, but unfortunately, the experience was deeply disappointing.
While the initial greeting was fine, everything changed once we were seated. Our server never introduced himself and made us feel like a total inconvenience. He seemed rushed and completely disinterested in our experience; we actually had to flag him down after waiting 15 minutes just to place our order.
When our New York steaks arrived, there was no mindfulness regarding service, no dips or condiments were offered for the steaks or fries. For a premium steakhouse, a 5/10 for food and a 2/10 for service is unacceptable. We came expecting a special night to celebrate, but we left feeling like a bother to the staff. Sadly, not the first impression we were hoping for.

Came here for an anniversary dinner and the service and food was amazing. The decor was filled with historic items and it was really cool to see. For it to be the oldest steakhouse it Toronto it was cool to see a little piece of history.
