Snakes and Lattes, Board game restaurant in Little Italy, Toronto, Canada
Snakes and Lattes is a board game restaurant in the Little Italy neighborhood of Toronto, where guests can choose from a large library of games while ordering food and drinks. The selection covers everything from simple card games to longer strategy games.
The restaurant opened in 2010 as a small gaming cafe and over the years grew into several locations across Toronto and nearby areas. It was one of the first places in Canada to combine tabletop gaming with a full food and drink menu.
Regular game nights and tournaments bring people together to share their passion for tabletop gaming and social connection. The restaurant has become a gathering space where friendships form and newcomers feel welcome.
There is a flat admission fee that covers unlimited access to the game library, and children under 12 get in free. It helps to arrive without a fixed plan, since browsing the collection and getting a feel for what suits your group can take a little time.
The staff are trained to introduce games and explain the rules to guests who have never played a board game before, so no preparation is needed. This means a first-time visitor can walk in knowing nothing and still have a full gaming session by the end of the evening.
