I’ve been a doorman in Toronto for the past 29 years. The current top steakhouse’s in Toronto in my opinion are Harbour 60, Hy’s, Black & Blue, Jacob’s & Co. and Bluebloods. I ate at Barberian’s 20 years ago, back then it was definitely in the top 3 in Toronto. Their 60 plus years of history as a Toronto high end steakhouse what gives them notoriety. As listed above there are many more options to choose from. Great review and I think you were pretty accurate. I have a channel trying to find my footing Toronto & Beyond with Sean.

Bro, Black & Blue uses stainless steel utensils on a non-stick pan when they are doing some of their table side cooking e.g. steak sauce or a flambe for one of their desserts. Blasphemy, when I saw that, that place was banned off my list. At the prices they charge, that's not acceptable. Raises an ire of suspicion of how they operate in the kitchen where nobody sees.

I like harbor 60 a lot but it's pretty pricey. My least favorite really is Jacob because they do not put butter on the steak and you can't have a peppercorn sauce I think and they're really annoying people.

the key to great steakhouse fries is frying them in beef tallow. Even better if you do a quick first fry, let them relax, then fry them again. In the UK they've mastered this technique and are famous for their "triple cooked chips" which are french fries that are fried three times so they're crispy outside and mashed potato inside.

Another nice job, UA! Keep up the good work! 22:31 I appreciate your honest opinion. You come across as a sincere, affable and very nice guy. One minor suggestion for wine drinkers like me. If it’s not too difficult or overly time consuming for you it would be much appreciated to do a camera pan through the Wine List. I’d love to get a sense of the selections/prices. Often restaurants have their menus on their website but not their wine lists. It would be great to get a look at the Wine List similar to the way you pan the camera through the menu. Just a minor suggestion. Congrats on another fine and frank review!

Great channel & content-new subscriber here. As a true steak lover, in moderation these days, and a lifetim native of Toronto, Canada, I can certainly provide some brief commentary on this spot and highlight a few of my tier faves. Interestingly enough, the owner of Barberian, who surname acts as the name in traditional Armenian nomenclature, is a close friend of my brother in law, so we actually celebrated my brother's bachelor party dinner in a private room in rhe establishment, followed by some nice stogies and a glass of port on the rooftoo. That visit was 9/10, being very memorable and the steak frites, from what I remember was super flavourful and cooked to medium-rare perfection. I did visit it again on a date night a few years later and I distinctly remember the steak coming out extremely rare this time (much more wqqthan displayed here, and borderline mooing on the plate)...I believe I returned it and it was thrown back on the grill and returned almost identically....at this point, we were well over an hour in , and at that point, I did have my meal comped. Needless to say, I haven't returned since,,,,here is a quick list of other Toronto steakhouse visits I can remember right now: - Morton's-Classic steakhouse feel, great prep, no frills - 8/10 - Harbour 60-upscale steakhouse feel, very pricey, delicious bone-in - 8.5/10 - Jacobs-extremely pricey, more hip/contemporary vibe, unforgettable steak - 9/10 - Ruth's Chris (downtown/Markham)-moderately priced for a high-end steakhouse chain, Markham visit was within last two weeks for my birthday and was incredible-9/10 - STK: Loud, trying to be too hip, overrated food, extremely expensive, poor value relatively speaking- 6/10 -Sleeper steakhouse: House of Chan-old boss was a steakhouse aficionado...fusion asian sides with classic steaks which was incredible-8/10 -Next up: Want to visit Blue-Blood, Black+Blue, J's Steak Frites #DrusViewz

Also from Toronto and I'm glad you made the visit. I am actually planning to visit Barberian's soon but after this I'm not sure. I have also tried Jacob's and Co, while a nice place to drink and hang out the price is totally unreasonable for what you get. The steak was not even close to the pricing, especially since the sides were extra on top of the steak. I think I will still try Barberian's to knock it off my list. I am curious to see what other steakhouses you checked out while in Toronto. Keep it up, great work!

At 21:50. Barberian's Steak House has a legendary wine cellar. It would have been nice if staff offered to give a quick tour. They are a common place to go to entertain, have a special occasion, or do business. Steak Houses in Canada have a tradition going back decades. Most also serve seafood. When I moved to my city in the mid-1970s there were probably 30 family owned "surf and turf" restaurants. Today in 2024 there are maybe five that still survive. The others are "steak house" chains like Montana's, The Keg, Jack Astor's, and Outback. Downtown Toronto has other steak houses worthy of review. I look forward to your review of Jacobs and Co. They are an amazing steak house.

A $100-steak steakhouse should have their cooking time set perfectly and finished with a thermometer. If I go to a local steak house/pub, I always ask for one level extra cook because they always take it off the fire too quick. But a good high end steak house cooks it exactly how you ask for it.

One of the biggest eye-openers reviews that a grillmaster or a steak-master at a high end restuarant can get is "your steak tastes like it was out of a grocery store". Ouch. Thank you for the honest review!! I even wonder if the chef seasoned it properly. Some of these steakhouses use their own "seasoning rubs" when they should just get back to the basics and use Kosher Salt and Pepper. That's it. Let the flavor of the beef do the talking.

Welcome back to Toronto! I just wanted to explain that Canadian beef has a much milder flavour than American beef. Trust me, you can't buy that quality in your average supermarket. I've eaten in almost all the steakhouses you've reviewed in NYC, American beef has a completely different flavour profile. We feed our beef cattle differently than you guys, and graze them differently too. Anyway, I did enjoy your review of "Barbarians Steakhouse" and gave you a 👍 as usual.

If you're still in toronto, go to J's Steak frites on queen st. My gf took me last week for my birthday and it was life changing. Despite only serving steak frites, i would quite call it a steakhouse since i prefer cuts oin the bone, however....their striploin was perfection and the fries were not only fantastic, they were all you can eat.

yeah Barbarians USED to be a good steak house but in the last 4 years it just been down hill. My family and I used to go to Barbarians for about 10 years but our last experience was our last. 😞

UA welcome to Toronto, I recommend you try La Castile Steakhouse next. It's actually on the border between Toronto and Mississauga, a bit of a way out but well worth it. Also try The Queen and Beaver, it's on Elm St.

You have to do a veal sandiwch, and if you can handle it, add some extra toppings like mushrooms, peppers, or cheese. California Sandwiches is the most well known. It's a bit pricey but everyone knows that place. Next do our iconic chinese Buffet which is in a large convention center, named Mandarin just outside Toronto at 238 Biscayne Crescent, Brampton

I hope you will do more Toronto reviews . I want to see if the food scene is really that bad quality wise and that expensive. Living here I only eat Costco because everything else is just bad quality that I know of.

I know this may sound crazy but I don't have any idea what the bottom of a pepper grinder looks like and I never once bothered to look for it. At least 9:26 gave me a glimpse. Thanks UA!

I'm sure Barberian's was the best in T.O. at some point in time. But there is more competition now, and leaning on history and tradition can only take you so far. It's too bad you have the shellfish allergy. Would've loved to see you review of one of the Chinese restaurants with the lobster/crab tower up here. Or the fake Din Tai Fung.
