Lost in Toronto is a small late-night sake, cocktail and dessert bar at 636 Queen Street West. It opens Thursday to Sunday from 6 p.m. to midnight. The kitchen closes at 10:30 p.m.
Our pick is to start with a sake flight or one of the tea-led cocktails, then split a parfait. Come hungry if you want the Hokkaido soup curry or beef rib udon. This is not a cheap bar, and four Google reviews are too few for a settled verdict.

Is Lost in Toronto worth it?
Yes, if you want a quiet late-night stop built around sake, Japanese flavours and plated desserts. It is a better fit for two people talking over drinks than a group looking for a dance floor.
The menu has a real point of view. Matcha, hojicha, genmaicha, yuzu, ume and sake show up across the drinks. The food is short but substantial enough for dinner. The catch is price. A cocktail and parfait can pass $40 before tax and tip.
What to order first
The sake flights are the easiest starting point if the bottle list feels intimidating. Three flights cost $38, $39 and $45. The official Instagram also recommends the flights for guests who do not know where to begin.
For cocktails, choose by flavour rather than by the most dramatic photo. Your Matcha is citrusy and topped with matcha osmanthus foam. Moss Matcha is earthier. Your Hojicha is stronger and more spirit-forward at 30% ABV. Velvet Ash mixes mezcal, basil gin, pineapple, black olive, dark chocolate, maple and whey.
The Hokkaido soup curry and beef rib udon are the two clearest full-meal choices. For dessert, caramel pudding is the low-commitment order. The Black Forest parfait is the better pick for deep chocolate and cherry flavours. Blushing Berry is larger, brighter and more layered.
What the four Google reviews say
The four reviews are encouraging, but the sample is tiny. Three are five-star reviews and one is four stars.
The repeated positive themes are the cocktails, friendly hosting, the room, sake flights, curry and dessert. One party of two reported no wait and a $20 to $30 spend per person for a quick drink. Another reviewer reported $50 to $60 per person after ordering more food and drinks. One review described moderate noise.
There is no clear complaint pattern yet. That does not mean the bar has no drawbacks. It means the listing is too new to support a confident long-term service judgement.
How much does Lost in Toronto cost?
Expect a focused night out, not bargain drinking. Cocktails run from $17 to $20. Beer is $12. Five-ounce wine pours run from $16 to $22. Food runs from $9 for sweet potato fries to $27 for chicken soup curry or beef rib udon. The two parfaits cost $24.90 and $27.90.
A simple visit can stay near $25 to $35 per person before tax and tip. Dinner, dessert and more than one drink can move past $60.

Getting there
Lost in Toronto is on Queen Street West, just west of Bathurst Street. Queen and Bathurst streetcar service puts you close, but Toronto routes change during construction. Check the TTC trip planner before leaving.
Do not count on easy street parking in this part of Queen West. Transit or a short rideshare is usually simpler for a night that includes alcohol.
The official site does not give detailed entrance, washroom or seating accessibility information. Call the bar before travelling if step-free access or a specific seating setup matters.
