Ladybug Wine

“Ladybug is a charming wine bar on King East that can be easily missed but one must definitely make an effort to get to it. The place is warm and inviting and beautifully done up. The staff is friendly and kind. The brunch menu is small but lovely. One of the dishes we ordered was the salmon brioche and I have to say, I was impressed by the portion of the salmon. The eggs benny was interesting but I think swapping the English muffin for potatoes is a bit of an acquired taste or personal preference. I didn’t care for the potatoes and would have much rather preferred English muffin or some other sort of bread. But as mentioned, Personal preference. We went in a Sunday where they sell wine bottles on the menu at their retail price in the shop. So it was delightful and we indulged without guilt. This place will definitely see more of us”

“10/10 vibes that's perfect for a date night with drinks. Came here for late night drinks on a Tuesday night at 9pm and it wasn't too busy. This place is beautiful and perfect for a date night. I like how they offer a wine flight with 4 x 2 oz pouring for $25. We also ordered the crispy chicken and shrimp wontons and the oyster mushrooms and chimichuri to snack on. Not my first time dinging here but the food is just ok. Highly recommend for drinks and would come back.”

“A Hidden Gem for Brunch!! I came here with 3 of my girlies that love brunch. Everything we ordered was fresh, light, and absolutely delicious. We started with some drinks which were super affordable compared to other brunch places. The espresso martinis weren’t too sweet and had the perfect balance. As for the dishes the standout for me was the smoked salmon toast. The combination of the eggs, fresh dill, and sliced salmon on top of toast was so yummy. Service was nice and the place was cozy/bright. Highly recommend this spot for a girls’ brunch or casual date.”

“We had the most incredible evening at Ladybug Wine Bar! From the moment we walked in, the space felt warm, vibrant, and unpretentious, exactly the kind of neighbourhood spot our East End needs more of. For appetizers, we shared the feta kataifi croquettes, which were perfectly crispy on the outside with a rich, creamy center the kind of dish you keep talking about long after it’s gone. The seasonal charcuterie board was both generous and beautifully curated, pairing well with every sip of wine. The star of the night, though, was the Dhaka roast chicken with apple kachumber tender, flavourful, and unlike anything I’ve had at a wine bar before. We paired everything with a bottle of Grenache Syrah Jean-Paul Cuvee, recommended from their thoughtful selection, and it was absolutely spot-on. I loved that you can actually browse the wine walls yourself it makes the whole experience feel relaxed and approachable rather than intimidating. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, with great choice of music and a cozy, modern design that invites you to linger. Big thank you to very friendly and super helpful server Dennis! Muyto obrigado and merci beaucoup! You can tell that Jessica and Charles have poured their heart into creating a place that blends the charm of a London style pub with the sophistication of a wine bar. I only lived for short period of time in London UK but it brought back good memories. Whether you’re popping in for a casual glass after work, a weekend brunch, or a celebratory night with friends, Ladybug hits the perfect balance between elevated dining and laid-back hospitality. Already looking forward to my next visit! Great addition to our neighborhood.”

“We had a great time at Ladybug. We left with two bottles of wine. It is a modern wine bar with a large selection of well chosen wines and an excellent menu to match. We had curry, prawns, croquettes and creme brulee, All were excellent. Staff were very friendly and we chose to sit at the bar so had a great chat with the Manager. Overall a great experience.”
