Pow Wow Cafe - Toronto

I have wanted to try Indigenous food for a long time and Pow Wow Cafe had been bookmarked on Yelp for awhile. I was so sad to hear that it was closing, but am also glad that I DID hear, so I could make sure to try it before they closed.I took a day off work so I could come. Although I was there bright and early, it was really packed mind you it is a small restaurant. I was able to score a seat outside. I ordered the beef chili taco, which I was told is something that would traditionally be served at a Pow Wow. I decided to brunchify it and it did not disappoint. The portions were big, the food was fresh and damn was it ever good.I'm sad that they are now closed, but will definitely be keeping an eye on anything this chef does.

Stood in line for more than half an hour, even though the opening time had passed. Got lucky and were the last ones to sit. Got the tacos which are actually fried dough with chili on top. Decent coffee and local teas. A bit expensive, but quantity is decent.

Must try spot in Toronto and go before they close down. The fried bread was so good and authentic. Portions are huge and everything tasted great. I felt it was a bit modernized with the smoked salmon which I would have preferred if it was more cultural. I literally enjoyed the fried bread the most!Their sweet grass soda is delicious and I need to find where I can buy that. Also cash only!

The guys at Pow Wow cafe catered a 200+ dinner for us and it was amazing. They didn’t miss a step in delivery. The buffalo meatloaf for the main and Blueberry crumble for dessert were a hit. Go check them out before they close.

Been lucky enough to try their great food on the road at various Pow Wows. Fresh ingredients and a beautiful presentation make sure to follow them on social media for storefront hours!
