A cute spot for brunch, lunch or dinner, and they have a good amount of options on the menu. They also have daily specials as well. The service was impeccable, really happy with our choice. I got the 6oz steak salad with portabella mushroom and it was delicious. I really enjoyed it with the pickled onions, it paired well with the blue cheese. We sat in their patio, it was cute and very spacious. There were about 10 tables in the patio. Recommend coming here for a girls night or date night! read more

The decor blew me away - I was expecting a c Typical casual pub decor but it's elegant and bright and romantic I went here with my bf and his family - this is their usual dining spot and I can see why. Typical pub food. I got their jerk pork "sandwich" - a bigger portion than expected, good jerk flavour but the meat was a bit dry; the Salad was fresh and delicious The service was good! read more

The Belsize Public House - Jerk pork pita with salad - Gastropubs Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I came here last summer for drinks and dinner on their patio. The restaurant had classic "pub" style food and also some nice craft beers on tap. Service was great. I ordered their steak salad and for drinks, an aperol spritz. They ended up accidentally making me 2 drinks so I got one for free (that was a plus)! The steak salad was tasty and was cooked to a perfect medium rare. The greens were just tossed in a standard balsamic vinaigrette. All and all it was a solid dining experience. I was happy with both the food, service, and atmosphere but nothing stood out that would make me come back again and again. read more

SERVICE: 5/5 No complaints. Our server was very attentive and courteous. FOOD: 3/5 I was disappointed in the quality of my burger. The patty was somewhat dry and lacked in flavour. Cheddar cheese should not be on the burger, to begin with. It's gross. Mozzarella or Swiss is the way to go. The buns were good though. The fries were very good too. Not sure why coleslaw wasn't creamy like at most other places. I didn't like their coleslaw. It tasted as if it came from a store-bought jar. It wasn't homemade. Mind you, my experience is limited by one visit. Perhaps, their calamari and "chips and fish" are to die for. I don't know. So far, I'm giving them 3/5 stars. If my experience proves to be different next time, I will consider upgrading my rating. read more

The Belsize Public House - Burger and fries - Gastropubs Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I live fairly near to the Belsize Public House and yet this was somehow only my first visit to the place. And if the calibre of the food I ate is any indication, I'll definitely have to make this joint a regular haunt. We arrived around lunchtime on a Monday and the place was sparsely populated. I gave the menu a quick scan and almost immediately landed on the Jerk Pork Sandwich ("scotch bonnet aioli, fresh mango, coleslaw & tomatoes in a pita, served with fries & curried chickpeas"). It arrived about 20 minutes later and I have to admit it's much, much better than I was expecting. I've grown a little weary of anything with jerk seasoning as of late, given that every time I seem to order it, the dish is bland and, worse still, hardly spicy at all. That was definitely not the case here. The intimidatingly large concoction is full of well-spiced and flavorful pieces of pork, and the heat-level is, much to my delight, definitely higher than I was expecting. The mango, coleslaw, and tomatoes all work perfectly in the sandwich, while the pita tasted fresh and actually held up well to the various ingredients contained within (which is itself no small feat). My one complaint would be that certain pieces of pork were a little chewy and overly fatty. With a sandwich like this, one wants unctuously soft chunks of meat and that was unfortunately not quite the case here. As for the fries, they were outstanding, and the curried chickpeas, though not entirely necessary, were also quite good. read more

The Belsize Public House - Jerk Chicken Sandwich. - Gastropubs Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I think 3 is the perfect rating. Rating based on the Mac and cheese with fries take out. Mac and cheese was small. It was fine, nothing special. I would say average mac would be best. The fries were very good. Well done and much larger than the main. I have to say the main was 2.5 / 5 and the fries were probably a 4/5. I would say it's an option if you're near by but nothing special. read more

Myself and a couple of co-workers popped in for lunch and to say that we were disappointed is an understatement....the food was mediocre at best...they claim that the wings are made in-house and hand breaded etc, etc, however that is not the case, they clearly look and taste like something out of a presidents choice box...they were dry, hard, chewy and look like day old wings. In addition to this, my celery was black and bruised, wish I got a better picture. My colleagues got the jerk pork sandwich, which was dry and lacking true jerk flavour and the fish and chips which were actually pretty good. I guess 1 out of 3 is not bad, the service was good but I will not be returning. read more

Cozy and comfy- the staff were very knowledgeable and there was great service. We mentioned that it our cousin's bday- and they brought him a slice of cake to celebrate. The buttermilk wings were done really well and their burgers were good. It is a cross of pub food and gourmet, I liked it. read more

We came on a Friday around lunch. Nice patio! got the daily special, a lamb burger, was pretty good. They staff got my order wrong and it came with friends instead of salad, but they switched it. The salad dressing was pretty sweet to my taste, didn't enjoy it too much. My friend ordered a jerk pork burger, it's more like a wrap in pita bread. It was ok, the meat was salty. read more

Met friends here for brunch on a Saturday, as soon as they opened. Place started to fill up with families within an hour, but still didn't feel crowded. Good good and great service. read more

Had such a lovely experience at Belsize Public House. The attitude of the staff was amazing and had such a pleasant team. They took note of the little things and made our table feel at home. And the food was good as well, we all enjoyed our meal! read more

Very friendly atmosphere! Staff are pleasant and the food is awesome! I will definitely be back

Was in the area and just needed some lunch. I can't even begin to describe how much I like this meal. The salad was amazing, beautyofully dressed with great toppings and the mac and xh3ese was creamy and baked to perfection. What a great low key and cozy spot! Definitely will come back and bring friends. read more

I work down the street from the Belsize and my colleagues and I come here often (sometimes too often). THE FOOD- This is a great lunch spot, I've tried many of the things on the menu and have never made a bad choice. The steak and cobb salads are both flavourful and filling, the Jerk Pork and Grilled veg sandwiches are both delicious. And the Moroccan chickpea stew and chicken pot pie are both great comforting choices on cold days. THE DRINK- They consistently have a good craft beer selection here, and although I don't often have a drink at lunch, I always take a look at it and am impressed by it. THE SPACE- This is a cozy, little spot that's great for conversation over good food and drink. THE SERVICE- The service here is always friendly and generally pretty fast. read more

Seriously, this is a GREAT place, fantastic staff, great food, perfect neighbourhood restaurant...it's all good, I've NEVER had a bad meal. HOWEVER..... I went in the other day for lunch and it seemed warm (when I say warm I mean it was uncomfortably humid WTF) I asked the staff if it was just me and they called out that that had brought it to the attention I the appropriate person with no action Step it up guys!!!! I won't be eating here again until it gets cooler read more

Fantastic Portobello and goat cheese concoction on focaccia...really nice surprise and so were the fries. Nice selection of wine-by-the-glass. Super-friendly service! Terrace with/without sun. My only issue was the wine was not served cold enough...but they kindly tried to fix that. Since adding ice to a good Sauvignon Blanc is an act of pure insanity, keeping bottles on ice would solve issue if fridge is off. read more

I don't think I've been to a place that is more Canuck than this place! I love it. I haven't had a disappointing item on the menu. Get a special of the day it's worth it. And their beer selection is awesome too. They also have a patio that doesn't back onto a busy street so you don't have to hear the sound of loud cars. Just a great spot all around and the food is some of the best in Mount Pleasant! read more

Dear Patron's I visited the Belsize pub on a quiet Tuesday afternoon this past Summer.. I sat at the bar and chatted with the kind chatty bartender. I can't remember her name, but she was full of information and fun facts. I come from the restaurant industry and love food and good service more than anything. Creating an experience for someone is very rewarding !! I am from Vancouver and have lived abroad for years. I am a fan of mind blowing burgers. I am normally let down when I order a burger in Canada --- Vancouver especially. Canadians struggle with cooking kickass burgers. I could go on and on about it , but I'll spare you the dramatics. I asked the lovely waitress about the burger and how I'd only order it if was cooked on the medium rare side. (How a burger should always be cooked ) She explained that there beef was sirloin ground And will have cooked medium rare for me!!! WHAT HAPPENED NEXT nearly knocked me off my stool!! Holy Sh*t !!!! This burger trumped any burger I've ever had and then some. Everything was perfect about it. The simple ingredients were placed with care and super fresh. The bun was toasted yet soft inside , the seasoning and love in the burger totally rocked. So everyone. Please try a burger or anything for that matter At the Belsize. I was one of my best meals of the year and a great way to experience Toronto!! Sincerely Cameron W read more

Visited recently for a drink with some friends. We arrived about 10:30. The place was empty other then a few guys and staff drinking around the bar. The place had a horrible smell and is pretty dirty. Our table was made off distressed wood that had not been sealed properly and there is mold in the cracks (so gross). The floor had a bunch of dirty napkins and some food. Although we did not go to eat there is zero chance we will in future. read more

Went on a Thursday night. It was busy but not too loud. The service was good and attentive and the food was very yummy. Got the fish and chips and they were excellent - the fish wasn't too oily and the fries were perfect. Only complaint was the s'more pie was a little too rich and it was cold in a way that wasn't very pleasant. It was chilled the point of being tough to eat while the marshmallows were burnt, which wasn't a pleasant texture combo. It would have been far better if the pie crust and chocolate filling were warmed a bit instead of being hard and cold - everyone at the table who tried it agrees. Also: don't get one for yourself. My friend and I each got one and I barely got through half before giving up because of how rich it was. Splitting it would have been just right. read more

Extremely rude waitress at the front desk - very dismissive and uninviting - would avoid.

Glad to have this place as our almost-local bar and restaurant. Not quite on our doorstep but certainly worth the walk. We've been here twice for dinner and left impressed both times. The food is great and the relaxed atmosphere means this is somewhere you can settle in and sample their wide selection of ales and beers. A pub set up with very good food. The specials change every week and we wish they'd keep them for longer! Their recent tuna salad and steak frites were excellent. Sadly they'd finished when we returned a week later! From the regular menu we enjoyed the salmon tacos, chicken pot pie and the creamy croquettes. As others have said the chicken wings are big and meaty and a must-try (if feeling naughty). The staff here are relaxed and friendly. I'm not expecting 5 star service in this environment and price range but they've been good in recommended food and beers - and rarely wrong! Will try to get back here for the breakfast! read more

Nice place for after work drinks, good space, cozy and nice. Food is good, I had a burger there and it was juicy and tasty. They have good variety of beer. read more

Fairly new in our area and had the potential to be our local go-to. But after visiting last week, I've got mixed reviews. Having arrived early for lunch (12pm) on a weekday it felt very warm, welcoming and cozy. Menu has is diverse and would be appeal to many palates and tastes. I opted for the cobb salad and my guest had the steak sandwhich special with salad. Both were enjoyable and large portions. Service was friendly and attentive. My only complaints are that, after 45 minutes the place packed up and it was very loud and felt cramped. And, while I enjoyed the salad, I had an upset stomach for hours afterward. I probably won't return. read more

Service was excellent and the food was very good I ordered chicken pot pie she let me know that it was made with butter and cream I am lactose but I still had it It came with a nice salad this is my second time here and yes I would come back again read more

This is the perfect place for lunch. The food is good, there is a patio outside, and the staff are super friendly.

Went on a weekday night for dinner. Had to wait 20 mins to be seated on the patio. Not bad. They have a good collection of local Ontario craft beers. Food was great too. read more

Very crowded. Didn't have the beer I wanted that was listed on the CHALKBOARD which is so easy to change. Terrible service. Only two servers on Saturday night? Last call at midnight not announced. Refused to serve at 12:01. Never going back. read more

A great local addition to our sleepy little hood, would love to see a proper brunch menu with a little diversity and would love to pimp up the already glorious patio just a few more notches. Amazing chicken sandwich and their house made salad dressing is delightful. Friendly staff & also a solid burger. read more

Great gastropub. Have been quite a few times and never disappointed. Good food and service and large choice of beers, you don't need much more than that to get my support. read more

So rude when we walked in. I had five people and she said well that will be a problem. What? Five people spending money is a problem. She then proceeded to say we will have to stick you over here. Wow can you believe they actually expect people to return. Really bad taste before we even ate. I will not return and will tell everyone to go somewhere where people are not so bloody rude. read more

Yes! This place was long overdue for the neighbourhood. It is classier than Longest Yard, but still family friendly. Then food is hit and miss but so far more hits. Could use cocktail menu. Love the patio. Love how it's busy. Love how the staff remembers you. This place is finally hitting its stride. read more

I came into the Belsize on a Tuesday evening with a couple friends and I absolutely LOVED the spot. We live just down the street and we are already planning our trip back. The cauliflower cheese dip was to die for and we enjoyed a fantastic burger, churned in house. Our server, Marisa (I believe was her name), was exceptional! Kind, pleasant, and very knowledgable of the menu! Just excellent! We cannot wait to return! read more

Cute casual restaurant. The wait staff are pleasant and not pretentious. The food was delicious and reasonably priced! Good place to go to if you are looking for decent yet not extravagant food at a reasonable price. read more

The Belsize is just down the street from my workplace. I have been going more or less once a week since they opened in June. I like the decor, the staff and the menu. They have a tidy selection of craft beers to choose from, as well as a similarly tidy selection of wines. The menu keeps being refined, and the food seems to be getting better each week. In the last 10 days I've had a gaspacho that was superb, a couple of great salads, and today their chicken wings, which were some of the best I've ever had. These are not your "wing night" kind of wings, but big, meaty wings done in a buttermilk sauce. Came with a maple BBQ glaze, they could hardly have been better. You should also try the smoked trout nicoise. The smoked trout is local, delicate, and amazing. Real good patio space. I'm really glad to have this great place nearby for lunch. I have yet to stop by for dinner. I think it would also be a great place to stop for beers after work. read more

Been twice for breakfast and once for dinner, experiences continue to get better as they settle in to the neighbourhood! Packed-house for dinner and drinks recently, no complaints there. Solid eggs bene both times for breakfast, plus they also have a veggie alternative and the standard offering available (eggs, sausage AND bacon, toast, etc.). Very friendly staff who are helpful and attentive. Weeks ago when they opened they felt a bit understaffed, but everything lately has been smooth. Recommend! read more

What a find. Delicious food, not your run of the mill type. There were 3 of us, all tasting each others appetizers and mains. Everything had its own unique flavour and was fabulous. Service is very good even though they were busy. Unfortunately its a little far from home but we will return soon. I would definitely suggest you try this. read more

This English pub is located conveniently midtown. The ambiance is cute, and the wait staff are very friendly. The food was delicious, although pepper seemed to be the main spice in all of my food.

This is a neighborhood gem. It's a great reliable place for brunch/lunch. I tend to visit whenever the in-laws are in town. Food is tasty and the overall ambiance is very comfortable (we have a couple of fans of the music that's played here.. really sets the tone). read more
