About Us

(gah-zell-ig) is a Dutch adjective for convivial, cosy, or nice atmosphere, but also belonging, general togetherness, or time spent with loved ones... Our modern menu encompasses broad inspirations from around the world, presented in both comfortable and inspiring ways, designed for our neighbourhood clientele. Chef Moffatt believes very strongly in local and sustainable food being sourced directly from the farmer or producer, and we try hard to integrate these special products on our menu as often and fully as possible.

This is our go-to place for lunch for menu options & quality in service & overall ambiance. Modern, open & comfortable. Pick any 2 plates for $28 per person is a great way to share, or mix & match between savoury & sweet. Portion size is just right. It's hopping here, but the service has been friendly & efficient every time, & the food has been consistently excellent!View more

Fanatic dining experience at Gezellig. Our appetizers were quite good but both of our mains were absolutely mouthwatering. The wait staff came by frequently but were not intrusive at all. The cost of dining was greatly justified by the quality of the meal.View more

Update Dec 2023 - still outstanding, great atmosphere & decor, the short rib was probably the best we have ever had. Our waitress (Naomi) was very pleasant & attentive. Gezellig stands the test of time! Excellent quality! Attention to detail in creating the meals is apparent, service is one of the best I have experienced. Covid measures are on point, we felt very safe!View more

Since I am Asian, specifically from India, the food is not for me. However I tried their dessert with ginger bread option & that was yum!View more

C'était ma première fois à ce resto. Pour la qualité de nourriture, je dirais que le prix est très raisonnable. Le service est excellent les gens sont attentionnés. Les portions sont bonnes . Mon seul reproche, la carte des desserts pourraient être plus généreuses.View more

We had a fantastic dinner experience at Gezellig! I had previously enjoyed their brunch & was thoroughly pleased, & dinner lived up to my expectations. The team was genuinely welcoming, attentive to detail & helpful, & our server provided excellent wine recommendations. Each shared meal was thoughtfully split in two different plates without us asking for it, which was a truly appreciated gesture (I know it can be a pain for the kitchen). The gnudis were unforgettable, & the butterfinger dessert was a delightful ending to the meal. Thank you so much!View more

Went for lunch on a weekday. The atmosphere is open & European modern. The lunch service is a choice of two small plates. The food was delicious & I especially enjoyed the mushroom soup. The service was quick & friendly. There is a free coat check. The dessert & wine was also delicious.View more

Outstanding! The food was delicious. From the ciabata bread to the main course, to dessert, all delicious. The duck breast was accompanied by salad & bacon couscous. Perfect combination. The braised beef easily pulled apart & was full of wonderful flavor. For dessert, we had key lime pie & buttercake. Unsurprisingly, this was perfectly delicious. The service was excellent. We were well tended to, & the staff were able to answer all questions regarding the menu. 100% rating & I will recommend this restaurant to anybody.View more

The food was quite tasty for Brunch but the portions are small if you don't want to spend the 28$ for two plates which makes it pricy if you're getting a drink or sides. However it's very cute vibes for a date, & I'm sure the ambience is even better for dinner. Would revisit.View more
