Orbit Bar & Restaurant

Tried their Chicken Schnitzel for brunch and boy was it a lot of food! The interior looks dated and could get some upgrade. It is more of a pub/​sport bar that can host weekend brunch and family dining.

4 of us went for the first time for lunch. The place is empty. Maybe it is busier at the night, since it sometimes have live music and a dance floor for the night. It is clean and nicely decorated.
My husband ordered the escargot, it came cold. He swears that it is previously cooked and it was microwaved to heat up. I ordered the cabbage rolls, it was on the cold side too. It was not tasty. I cook better cabbage roll than that. However, one of my friend ordered the Hungarian pancake. I had a taste of the pancake, it was to die for. So, if I return to that restaurant, it is what I will order.

I went there for dinner around 5. At the time it was pretty empty, so I guess it fills up later. The establishment is nice and pleasant and they have many choices in entrees.
Both my partner and I order the schnitzel. It was about $ 13 and the portion was huge! The schnitzel took most of the plate, came with big portion of mashed potatoes and 3 different salads! It was so tasty!
If you want to try good Polish food that’s not too expensive you should definitely go there.
They also have a wide selection of Polish beer.
I will definitely go there again, but probably a bit later to see how it is when the place is a bit more full.

what an amazing place!!! the food is delicious here! they have a dance floor and dj equipment and some door signs show concerts and dance classes are held there too on ocassion. the server was smilling and nice, not overly chatty and all but frankly i don’t really like servers who do that anyway! everything ordered was soooooo good! i had the schnitzel (huuuuge) tender melt in your mouth and in a crispy golden brown coating seasoned perfectly, and not oily and nasty like other restaurants… we also had cabbage rolls and borsch during an earlier visit there and that i’d have to pass next time as i had way better borsch made by my family members… will definetely be back there soon!!!

Don’t let your first impression walking into this place fool you! I walked in and its as if the power went out! Barely any light at all. What was even more weird, was that the tables way in the back and in those areas where it’s kind of «reserved», were 100% set up with plates, napkins, glasses and cutlery, and there were only 2 – 3 other tables occupied in the general seating area. That freaked me out a bit, but I got over it once I took my first bite!
I was at Renaissance Banque Hall setting up for a gig in a few hours and needed some food as I didn’t have much time to spare. I rarely try anything new as I am reluctant to be adventurous with my food consumption. So there wasn’t much around and I decided to go in for a sandwich. I ended up with a massive plate of chicken parmesan, coleslaw and fries! I only paid a little over $ 9 for this chicken parmesan and it was flopping over the side of the bun so much that it was touching the plate. It was extremely soft and moist and with enough sauce to enjoy it and not taste saucy. Little to no oil as well. It was low on the grease. One other massive plus about my plate was the coleslaw. Very fresh and crunchy thin strips of cabbage, carrots, n all that good stuff they put in. Also not greasy or fatty, enough to taste but not overly sauced. The fries were «meh», but who cares, I had a massive sandwich and possibly the best coleslaw I’ve ever had. I challenge you to try it!
All in all, these Polskies know what their doing.

Another location that is so easy to drive by without knowing it was ever there, located in a small plaza off of Dundas st E and Universal Dr this hidden gem has been a favorite of mine for a while. It’s easy to forget about this place as the location is so reclusive but it does come with a private lot for parking and we all know how happy that makes me! YAY!
This restaurant specializes in European Cuisine and is large enough to handle big parties and events which they often hold like Fri and Sat where there is DJ’s and live music present. A large layout with a full dance floor offers a lot of space to move and dine in comfort that being said the décor is a little dark and dreary for my taste which is mostly because of the lack of windows however it is not the worst I have seen either.
Service here I do find inconsistant though, it can be absolutely amazing at times where other times it can be lacking significantly so it is a bit of a gamble. However there has never been a time that I had to wait for a table and the food service is fast and efficient so it does make up for the less then desireable service you can occassionally recieve.
The food is traditional and delicious! The portions are huge and the quality of the food is good and consistant as well; they have a Borscht soup that is literally to DIE FOR! No joke it is hands down the best I have EVER tasted and I am part Russian! Prices are competitive too considering the portion size your recieving and the menu offers a large variety but if your looking for light and healthy food this may not be your best option as their meals tend to be a bit heavier offering a lot of deep fried breaded schnitzels and things like that.
They have a full bar with a pretty good selection of wine and beer, I will admit I mostly come for the soup here and the odd dinner so I cannot really comment on the drinks but I have not heard any complaints from anyone I know that goes there to have a few drinks with friends.
If you enjoy hearty, traditional European cuisine and love a good bowl of Borscht then head over to Orbit and dine without the worry of your car getting towed ;)
