Queen Mother Cafe
What the experts agree on
A Queen Street West institution since the 1980s, Queen Mother Cafe blends Thai and Laotian flavors with European touches. It's beloved by artists and media folks, especially for the hidden backyard patio that feels like stepping into another world.
“If you’re visiting in the summer, be sure to dine on their patio out back, it is as if you were transported into another city.”
