Airy upstairs cafe with city views, board games, and reliable Western comfort dishes; good hangout spot with fair value sets.
Rimi Café delivers solid neighborhood cafe performance with warm, attentive service and appealing city views from its upstairs perch. Food quality leans reliable on crowd-pleasers like wings and pasta, though occasional inconsistency on sides prevents higher marks. The spacious, game-friendly setting makes it a comfortable hangout for groups, competitive with the area's better neighborhood cafes.
Perched high above Dundas Street, Rimi Café feels casual and spacious, the kind of upstairs hideout where friends linger over snacks and tea with city views. Service comes off warm and attentive, and guests mention relaxing over board games without feeling rushed. The cooking skews Western comfort food more than trend-chasing, with crowd-pleasers like honey wings, pesto pastas, and ribs. Portions satisfy, lunch sets include soup and garlic bread, and several pasta options make it an easy choice for groups. Expect reliable flavors over fireworks; heavier cream sauces please cheese fans, while lighter pesto and seafood pastas balance the menu. Families should find it kid-friendly, thanks to familiar dishes like carbonara, wings, fries, and simple salads. While vegan mains are limited, vegetarians will spot several options. If your crew prefers simple plates, stick to wings, fries, pesto pasta, or risotto and skip the heavier cream sauces.
