British Restaurants near East York, ON

“We recently visited The Olde Yorke and had a solid, classic fish and chips experience. The space has a cozy, traditional pub feel with a straightforward, no-frills atmosphere and very generous portions.

The fish and chips are clearly the highlight. The batter was golden and crisp, and the portion size is substantial. We chose the halibut, which is naturally more dense, so if you prefer a lighter, flakier texture, the cod would likely be the better option.

We also tried the clam chowder, which leaned slightly too fishy for our preference. The coleslaw was decent, but fairly simple and could have used a bit more flavour to stand out.

While not everything fully impressed, the overall meal still delivers on a traditional, comforting fish and chips experience.

Service was friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere felt relaxed and welcoming throughout.

Overall, it’s a reliable spot for classic fish and chips, especially if you’re looking for generous portions and a traditional approach.“

“Have enjoyed having brunch at The Dorset. The atmosphere is lovely, with a great deal of art, and it is beautifully decorated.
Enjoyed the lower level more; the upper level looked fun, but it was next to the open kitchen, which had a strong smell.

The food was great, with good, moderate portions that you prob will not be taking to go.

Service is fantastic, and the staff are well-dressed and uniformed. Beers and drinks menue has variety.

Would come again.“

“Fun evening, great staff!“

“great service.. amazing place 🍸“

“A good friend from Montreal, was in Toronto today, and an acquaintance who we haven't seen for some time, and Bill and I met for a late lunch at the 'House on Parliament', (454 Parliament St. - west side of the St., south of Carlton St.). Someone recommended to us and it was our first visit there. The staff were friendly and attentive, the atmosphere was great, the food (great menu) was delicious, and the prices were fair! I had the 'Vodka cured smoked salmon' with fresh basil cream cheese, capers, cucumber, red onion confit and crostini. Very fresh and very tasty. The others also really enjoyed their meal too. If you're ever in the vicinity, I would highly recommend going there. Check out their page on fb to see some great pics of the food they serve. We will definitely go back there...“

“Great place for late night drinks or brunch! I love the new buck a shuck deal upstairs in their oyster house, and they have such delicious food offerings up there as well. Will be back!“

“Our family enjoyed the Sunday roast beef dinner to celebrate Easter yesterday.“

“Not only the best place to eat in the neighbourhood; one of the best in all of Toronto. Always imaginative additions to the menu. Great service.“

“Thanks Olde Stone Cottage! See you again soon.“

“live band music and dancing and singing“

“The owner Richard is a great guy. Always makes a point of talking to you and the people your with. The wings are exceptional and the beer is always cold.“

“I came here for a raptors game and my servers/bartenders were so hospitable and lovely. They are actually sisters! Julia and Izzy. Had tons of knowledge behind the bar and honestly have a great service. I would recommend to come here and will be for sure back here again. The chicken parm dish and the butter chicken dish was amazing. Super lite and clean. Tatsy as hell“

“Always a good choice, great beer, great friends and great food. What more can you ask for, oh yes and great staff.“

“Great food and atmosphere!“

“Love this place! Great food and service!“

“Was craving nachos so stopped in! We thought the small nachos was the right size for but all the extras (protein, guac and hot cheese) are sized for the large order so we ordered the Quesa Birria to add some protein to our meal. Both were fine but nothing special. The chips were stacked in such a way that the top layer had lots of toppings but the chips underneath were plain.

The atmosphere is very loud and community feeling - great if you’re looking to meet new people but not so great if you’re trying to have a conversation.“
