Hoito Restaurant est un établissement convivial. Hoito Restaurant est ouvert en soirée tous les jours de la semaine. L'accès est aisé par transport en commun, ainsi que par vélo. Ils sont parfaitement situés dans un quartier coloré reconnu pour sa vie nocturne.
Year's ago this was pretty much one of the only places for good finn pancakes and a hearty breakfast. Since then, I have come across a few others that are cheaper and the food much better (in fact I have found much better made pancakes), and no ridiculous wait times.
I think that people still go here because it's what everyone suggests when asked where to go for breakfast, but honestly, check the restaurant reviews here for other places and you'll find a much more enjoyable dining experience.
Other than a few of the unique finn dishes that are not available anywhere else like Mojakka...so very good and priced well, the breakfast and lunch items are adequate, but pricing is higher for the quality received. Coffee is not that impressive. Wait service can be improved!
Very slow, poor service and awful food.
Super hot and stuffy while waiting in a very long line.
FOR WHAT?
I must have rocks in my head.
They could not pay me to go back.
What is with the dudes outside asking for money and cigarettes?
I was first introduced to the Hoito almost 30 years ago when I first moved to T.Bay. It's been almost 20 years since I left, but return to visit often. My visits always include at least one breakfast at the Hoito - - it's just not a trip to T.Bay without those Finnish pancakes. On my last visit the service was so good we left the waitress a 50% plus tip. I"m already looking forward to my next visit. yum yum.
I went at 9:00 a.m. on a Monday -- after the morning rush. The restaurant was half full.
I waited over 15 minutes just for a menu and another 15 minutes for three Finnish pancakes and four sausages.
The pancakes were good, but the sausages had been left in a holding pan for some time and were dried and shrivelled up.
When the waitress refilled my tea pot, she brought the wrong pot back to my table and I could see her bringing my teapot to another table (I had put the tea bag and a used napkin on the side of the saucer and could see that with the tea she took to the other table.)
I also witnessed the waitress take a fork from a place setting where another person was sitting and give it to a person at another table. Who knows if the person had touched the fork. :-(

I go to the Hoito when Im really hungry and dont feel like making breakfast...or if I feel like breakfast later in the day. If you order the usual fare, ie. eggs + bacon, it is like any other breakfast place. Go for the specialty Finnish food...pancakes, rice pudding, makkara etc. It is very good with cheap prices. The coffee isnt all that great at the moment, the waitresses can be a bit rushed, but the Finnish food is good.
