Bier Markt Shops at Don Mills

SHOULD BE 1 STAR BUT THEY SENT ME A COUPON SO I FEEL BAD.
Had a terrible experience at the restaurant and the food wasn’t good either. (Dec 27^th-​ish)
Ordered fondue which came with stale bread. Worst part of it was it was all lumpy and separating. Not did it only look like vomit, it tasted like it too. Also ordered a burger, the buns were toasted or anything and the sauces or meat made it all wet. The patty was bland and crumbly so it literally broke apart into pieces. Fries were stale.
Overall terrible food that i payed over $ 50 for.
Reviewed their services on the link at the bottom of the bill and didn’t realize they would read it immediately. They apologized and said they would send me something in the mail. They said it should be there 3 – 5 days, fast forward 2weeks nothing came. I called them up asking if they actually sent me something. 4 weeks later received a $ 25 coupon.
Guess i’ll try it again or give it to someone homeless.

Haven’t been here in a while, but the food is definitely not is nowhere near as good as we remembered it to be. My date and I ordered the short ribs ($ 30!!) and a flat bread ($ 10 on special).
Not impressed at all. I do appreciate food coming out in a timely manner, but it doesn’t seem right for a full entrée with roasted vegetables and mashed potatoes and an ‘oven-​baked’ flat bread to come out in less than 5 minutes! As expected, the food was less than lukewarm; the flat bread was hard as stone, and the sides on the ribs feels like they have been sitting around the kitchen for a while.
Definitely not worth $ 30 for pre-​made, barely warm food.

Definitely recommend for all! The menu is such informative one, including pictures, origins, kinds of beer with brief summary for each. Love it! For a non-​beer drinker, I found so much easier to select my right beer. Services was great! Very fast. There is such a beautiful décor for a vintage fan. Good place for social gathering My friends and I enjoyed our night and drinks. we will definitely come back

Had a nice dinner here recently
Hard to get a table here as it’s a smaller location
We got a bar table instead
Beer menu is grandeur
Everything you can think from all over the world!!!
Had the Czechvar beer and it was quite smooth
Foodwise not bad at all
Had the baked brie and it was quite yummy
Chicken ABT was excellent
Servers brougt our main before our appy and offered to redo our main again which I thought was nice of them
Will definitely come again

So we went out of our way to eat here for the second time. They currently have 2 course lunch deal for $ 17 which features some of their mains that are originally ~$ 20 each. However, there’s an unspoken rule that you must order 2 of those 2 courses since it’s meant for 2 people, which was NOWHERE written on the menu. We just opted for the following since there were more options outside of the lunch deal :
Steak & Frites (8 oz. certified Angus NY strip, chargrilled,
Café de Paris butter, «Bier 58» sauce, Markt frites) ~$ 22 Steak was cooked well. It got cold really fast though. I tasted no beer in the sauce, only butter as mentioned and cooking oil. I found the portion for everything, including the ketchup, small.
Markt board (18-​month Niagara prosciutto, house-​made candied bacon, juniper pancetta, sliced to order, Markt pickle jar, house mustard,
grilled bistro bread) ~ $ 16. I had this the last time and they would explain what was on the charcuterie board. This time they just plopped it on the table. Mind you the restaurant was pretty much empty. Prosciutto was tougher than last time, pancetta was good, candied bacon was soggy. Pretty inconsistent, since the candied bacon last time was so amazing and was one of the main reasons why I wanted to reorder it. Also the house mustard had no seeds like before either. Boy… things really have cheapened out. The bistro bread was good though!
I’m discouraged from coming back because I felt like I ordered the wrong item, and the one I’ve re-​ordered was nothing like I remembered. :(

I ordered the charcuterie board and the steak & fries. From when we went a few months earlier, the quality has certainly dipped.
The charcuterie is no longer served with applesauce and whole-​grain mustard; it’s now served with yellow mustard and strawberry jam. What?
The steak was fine. The menu claimed 8 ounces but it sure looked more like 6. Fries were nothing to write about.
All in all, I find the food here extremely overpriced, and the service very slow. Be sure to check your bill after, because they automatically add gratuity… for a party of 2.

Had a wonderful lunch here the other day.
I have to say I did not expect the ribs to be quite so good. However they were absolutely awesome. I ordered the ribs as a half rack, and they came with the Navajo spice dry rub on them. They also had some kind of really nice sauce with a brush on the plate to put on as you wanted. It also came with fries and slaw. These were some of the best ribs I had had in recent times.
For dessert, I split the chocolate waffles with ice cream with my companion. But one disappointment I had was that it seemed to be devoid of the chocolate sauce promised on the menu. When mentioned to our server, he said he would ask the kitchen, but then came back without any, which was really strange. It was really sad because it did kind of but not great ending on to what otherwise had been a great meal.
I enjoyed the ribs with a nice Somersby cider.
Parking is available in a lot at the corner of the Don Mills centre on the NW corner.

I have been to this Bier Markt location for few times. Mostly because my bf suggested. We also go to the King West location. Bier Markt carries extensive beer list. My favorite fruli and grapefruit radler are always available on tap. I have no problem with it at all.
To their drink menu, I am totally satisfied. Yesterday, we came and my bf wanted oysters. It was $ 3 each regular price. We ordered a dozen but at least 4 to 5 of the oysters were like a size of a quarter (25 cents) or not much bigger than a quarter. They were fresh but we were sort of disappointed especially we paid regular price. The so-​called pretzel calamari was a total disappointment. They were simply deep-​fried calamari and bland.
Glad that our Unilocal buddy ordered the candied bacon and potato flatbreads. Guess we should stick with flatbreads next time.
The service here was friendly. Our server came and checked on us several times, but our plates full of oyster shells had never once replaced.
Will I come back? Yes, for a drink and the patio.

I have been here on numerous occasions but this by far was the most disappointing visit. I am not sure if owners, manager or the cooks have changed but it has gone downhill.
The food here is inconsistent. I usually order the Pastrami Flatbread and it tastes delicious, perfectly cooked and so forth. But this time, it looked like it was «rushed» and overloaded with pickle and «uncooked» onions. The manager was kind and replaced the meal free of charge. The server I had even mentioned someone else ordered the same item and it came out completely different. So I ordered the Chicken ABT and it was drenched with honey Dijon aioli making the bread fall apart and soggy. It looked hastily put together and wasn’t appetizing. I can say that the frites that came with the meal was fresh at least.
My friend ordered the Porto Fino mussels with frites. The sauce is tomato based and hers was clear and looked watered down. No sign of tomato sauce. There was no flavor as well. The frites were not fresh either and must have been sitting there awhile before serving it to us. Again, the manger replaced the mussels with a «fresh» order. Not all of the mussels were hot and the sauce usually is spicy which it wasn’t at all and tasted merely mediocre.
We didn’t bother informing the manager because we honestly were fed up. We had to wait twice for our food and each time was not up to the usual standards of what I have had here before. I doubt I would waste my money here on the food. If you want to have a couple of drinks here and enjoy live music then go ahead but the food isn’t worth it.
Venture here at your own risk.
I’m honestly disappointed because this used to be a favourite but not anymore.

Decided to pick Bier Market for lunch because it had the fish and chips option for my mom, as she loves fish and chips.
The bier can chicken was good, but was basically a healthy tasting version of chicken noodle soup, without the noodles.
The dunkel duck wings, were good. A little over cooked but the spicy sauce that came with it helped.
Markt burger was good, came with homey tasting fries.
Mussel Provençal and frites were good. They came with a unexpected large amount! Small size, but what do you expect considering we live in Toronto.
Fish Frites was the star! It was perfectly cooked, coated with panko. Not much greasy, probably the best fish and chips I’ve had in a while.
The chocolate flour less cake was exactly as described. Very delicious if you like chocolate.
The crème brûlée was an excellent portion, biggest portion I’ve seen.
Overall, this place left me full and usually when it comes to Summerlicious and Winterlicious, I’m still hungry. Definitely the highlight was the fish frites and crème brûlée!

With an impressive list of beer this is a solid choice to sit back and relax. It’s in the Shops of Don Mills so if you get a chance to sit outside it’s always interesting to people watch as it’s pretty interesting on weekends… or actually any night since this area is pretty busy.
I had the Somersby Cider which was lovely and the Gouda bites (deep fried gouda balls essentially) which were nice to snack on. but I don’t think were worth the $ 11.
They have live music on certain evenings and specials through the week. The service was decent but then again we were there around 5:30pm so it wasn’t super busy. as we were leaving around 7pm it started to fill up. The place is big inside and can accommodate up t about 50 people outside but if you are going with a group on the weekend definitely make reservations.

Food and drinks can be delicious but careless, inattentive service will diminish the experience. It took 30 min to receive the bill. We arrived here after our 10 km hike. It was a great way to finish the hike. We had great conversations.
They have refreshing fruity beers. I love those the best, especially after a 10 km hike!

This was the first time I came to this location. I came here with a pretty big group and our server Katie was extremely personable, professional, and most importantly laughed at our amazing jokes! The food tasted wonderful and came out really quickly. I ordered the Vitagreena salad with a Medium Rare steak and it was made to perfection… and yes… you cant make friends with Salad BUT you can definitely make friends with BEER!!!
I ordered the Delirium Tremons which is a strong beer with alcoholic content of 8.5%. This beer tasted light and refreshing and paired well with my salad. The vodka, jagermeister, tequilla, and gladitor shots all came out quick and with a smile.
A huge bonus on Saturday night is that they had live music and the band that was playing played some great music! They took requests and played current songs as well! A very nice touch and great way to end our night at Biermarket!
However, as with all shops on Don Mills… bring your wallet as these prices are not your typical chinatown prices. There is a reason why all you mostly see there are Benzos, Lexus’, and Beemers.

With numerous locations across Toronto and this emergence of a craft beer following, I felt this visit was long overdue. Nestled within the Shops of Don Mills, walking through this area on a Friday night is always lively, and fun.
Décor is nice, and they have a nice patio, and everything looks the way it should for a proper upper class bier markt… I opted for the burger.
MERCHANT BURGER ~ 10 oz. Wagyu beef burger, chargrilled, smoked
bacon, charred red onion, vine-​ripe tomato, iceberg lettuce, «Bier 58»
sauce, toasted classic bun, Markt frites ~ $ 25
Burger was good… we sampled numerous beers, although I am a little ashamed to say, I’m not sure which ones. I always ask the employees for recommendations.
The burger was a good solid burger, and the beef was high quality. I asked for it medium rare (or as close as they can safely get to that). It was a little overcooked, and slightly dry, but was still tasty. It was a satisfying meal, BUT BUT BUT… for 25 dollars for a burger and fries, I expect a little closer to perfection. So, slightly disappointing for me there.
There is nothing wrong with this place… good selection of beers, normal service, food was okay. I would stop in if in the area and looking for some good beers, but I would not travel into the city specifically for this location.

Came here on a saturday night around 8pm without reservations, the hostess said it would be about 40 minutes wait luckily it ended up being only about 20 minutes for a table for two. It was during their mussels promotion $ 11 for a lb of mussels and fries which was a great deal.
I got the Rosarda Rosé beer — which was a good price and fruity and also tried a hawaiian beer which was recommended which was light. So drinks were good.
The mussels however were really underwhelming (or maybe because it was the specials) Got the Provencale — which we were told was creamy and described with herbs — it came as clear plain chicken broth with a few raw diced tomatoes and chunks of raw garlic that was it. Also got the A La Snob flavour with lobster crème — it arrived with barely any (bland) sauce again with the chunks of raw vegetables thrown in. Their burger was not bad a standard burger, the bbq sauce it came with was good — all this took 45 minutes to arrive to the table (the waitress did apologize for the long wait time and gave us some complimentary bread for it)
We paid with a gift card, the waitress took it to the back and tried to deduct from our bill but didn’t work (it was an old bon appetite card) The waitress however did not bring back the $ 25 gift card still full with credit, I didnt realize this until I got home. We contacted the restaurant and they said they would mail us back the card — we received credit back for only Bier Markt Don Mills which I wasn’t really pleased about since I don’t really want to go back and its only valid for food not even drinks (…so I kind of feel like they took $ 25 from me…)

It was my first time at bier market and only went here because of a friend’s recommendation. I have never been a fan of beer but I fell in love with the belgian fruli beer. I wish you can buy it from the beer store. Their beer selection is impressive. I ordered the congo mussels and frites. The fries were ordinary but the sauce for the mussels was outstanding. I normally don’t eat spicy food but I enjoyed my meal because of the nice curry sauce of the mussels. I just think fries and mussels don’t really match and they should think of another side that a customer can choose from if they don’t like the fries with it especially because there wasn’t really anything special for the fries and the dip was just ketchup. A rice or maybe a specialty salad can make it a more enjoyable meal.
Customer service was superb though. I’d probably go back, maybe for brunch next time.

Came here for a late brunch with the hubs and a friend last weekend, where we soaked up a bit of sun on the patio. Not *too* much sun though, as the large umbrellas covering the tables provided perfect shade.
Had the Bavarian Benny ($ 13), where traditional potato rosti replaces the traditional English biscuit. A thick cut of porchetta sits on top, accompanied by poached egg and plenty of Weissbier hollandaise over everything. Bonus: extra hollandaise on the side on request was granted with no extra charge. I had planned on ordering some beef fat-​fried French fries because this stuff is so much better than regular/​vegetable oil type (admittedly, on the French fries scale my top pick is still duck fat). The Benny was very filling though, so I’m glad I skipped it this time.
The friend ordered a strawberry Fruli to wash down his skillet sausage meal. It was the first time I’d ever seen Fruli served in a glass before, and apparently it’s because Fruli is available on tap here — though I feel like Fruli is one of those things that just looks nicer in a bottle. I like to say Fruli a lot.
While Bier Market isn’t my top choice for brunch, it’s decently priced, cheaper and has a higher value feel for lunch than the other restaurants in the shopping plaza.

Went to Toronto for a friend’s wedding and he suggested we stop by here while I was exploring some friends. This place has such a wide selection of different «bier’s» that it would take multiple trips to even put a dent in the selection they have. The staff is super nice and has tons of suggestions. They even let us have taster samples before we commited to anything on tap!
The only thing preventing me from giving them 5 stars was because we found the $ 10 banana bread bier at Bier Markt for $ 3.50 at LCBO afterwards. Otherwise this is a great place to widen your bier palate.

Not crazy about the food but trying new fun beers is an awesome experience. If you want something sweet and mixed try the Swedish Mojito. Comes with Swedish berries inside! So delicious :)

Not a bad first experience here. I have previously been to the Esplanade location (only once though) but this was my first time here. It was a Friday night, so the restaurant was pretty packed and the atmosphere was lively. Quite loud, and made it difficult to talk to my dining partner, since I felt like I had to shout.
I ordered the Merchant burger which was a wagyu beef burger with onions, lettuce, bacon, tomatos, and some kind of BBQ fries. It also came with fries.
The burger was alright, but didn’t blow me away. Especially considering it was $ 25, it was just okay. The bun wasn’t a regular sesame bun, but I liked it. For some reason the way they toasted it reminded me of grilled cheese. I liked that the burger was very thick and juicy, but it was a little too oily for my taste. Fries were also just mediocre as well.
For dessert, we had the crème brûlée. It looked so cute when it came because there were two French macarons! They were not bad, but nowhere near the best macarons. The crème brûlée was interesting because they had some peach slices in it. Also there wasn’t much of a burnt taste to it, which kind of disappointed me because then it just tasted like custard.
Overall my food experience was just mediocre. No complaints about the service. I strongly believe that coming to Bier Markt is about the beer (they have a huge selection) and the experience, not the food. We stayed a bit to hear the live band play, and they were pretty good! I wouldn’t come again solely for the food, but wouldn’t mind coming for a chill Friday night out with drinks and live music!
