Stumbled upon this place as an out of Towner en route to the airport. Wow! My new fave in TO (all you who have known about this place forever, please excuse my virginity as my company's HQ is way uptown) The staff: 10++ The Food: 9+ Ambiance: 11+ (out of 10) Maybe I'm jaded due to having to endure Jack Astor's and the Spotted Dick for too long but This joint is the sha-nizzle read more

As part of the annual Winterlicious promotion, two of my friends and I picked three restaurants with the prix fixed menu that'd we'd never tried before. This was first on our list, located in the Scotiabank Tower on Adelaide. We got a nice corner table, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting, not too loud but not library-like either. The music, mostly UK fare like their cuisine, played an acceptable volume that my friends and I didn't have to raise our voices. We were seated very promptly, and our server took care to attend to my friend's allergy. She even asked to change my friend's cutlery when another server brought the wrong salad. My appetizer was a hot-smoked salmon pâté, which was ok by itself, but eaten with the pickles gave it that taste I wouldn't forget. I chose for my main the Petit Roast Dinner; the cut was excellent, full of flavour and juicy to boot. The gravy for said cut just brought the roast to another level. The sides were delicious as well, especially the crispiness of the potatoes. A clean plate was the end result! Finally to finish the meal, I chose the chocolate banoffee cheesecake - I never pass on any cheesecake when it's offered. And it didn't disappoint! The banana brûlée was an interesting touch, while having toffee sauce drizzled on the cheesecake was a first (and not definitely last) for me! All in all, it was a nice introduction to The Rabbit Hole, and I can't wait to go down there again! read more

We loved the vibe of this British pub in the middle of Toronto. It was a great place to watch the World Cup and hang out. The food was pretty good- I honestly wish we had stuck with just appetizers and gotten more because we all liked those better than our meal! read more

A lively spot with a great selection of elevated pub classics, served by friendly and well informed staff. It's a great spot to hit before a concert or sporting event given its perfect location. Mix of corporate and regular downtown goers varying on the night of the week you are there. read more

We went for a special occasion to The Rabbit Hole. I probably would've more likely given a 3.5. But since you don't have an ability to give a .5, I actually pushed it forward to a four star. It's located in the Scotiiabank Plaza at King and Bay. Entrance is closest to the Adelaide side of that building. You enter on the ground floor level, but then you have to walk up some stairs to actually get to the restaurant if you see the place with the kegs on the side of the stairs, you're in the right spot! You'll have to go buy those kegs later if you want to use the bathrooms cause that's where they are. Once you get upstairs, it's a quite nice looking pub area ( maybe little bit more higher end than some pubs ). We specifically went there because in December 2025 they had a special where they were doing a beef Wellington every day until it sold out. The price tag was a bit steeper at $60, although I have to say it was pretty good. Do I think it was worth the $60, well? I think the jury still out on that one. The service was very nice. The server came and checked on us periodically, and I did let them know that it was a special birthday for my partner, and so they actually arranged a nice to surprise and brought a special dessert out after the main meal. It was nice to get something sweet to finish the meal (comp'd). The Wellington was very good. It was probably just a little overcooked for me. I prefer mine more like medium rare and it was probably more like medium well done. I might've liked it better if it had not been so well done. However, it was still pretty good and a very nice flavor and it came with mashed potatoes and a really lovely gravy and some nice roasted vegetables. Atmosphere is pretty lively, I would say that there's not a lot of privacy because the tables are very close together. That was kind of a so-so thing in my book, but not a big deal. It is a pub after all. Also, that's what you can expect in those types of establishments. So it was quite enjoyable, it was also my first time there. Not sure I'd run back there although I generally do like O&B restaurants. It's just there are others of theirs that I prefer far more than this one. Close to all the transit steps away from King subway station. read more

I'm starting off my fall cuisine with a squash risotto! Very rich and filling and the shavings of parm are always a nice touch. Really enjoyed this dish. Lunch is a bit pricey (Will set you back around $30) hence the 4 stars but portions are reasonable. read more

The ambiance was lovely. Dimmed lights and candles, it was relaxing. I had the bacon burger with a gluten-free bun. The server asked me about my allergies and he suggested the bun. So kind. The fries were double fried. They were so crispy! Love this place. The food was great too. read more

Came to try out their Pietober deal. Surprisingly there is a bit of stairs upwards to get into the hole. Inside there are british pub vibes with some wacky but cool wallpaper. The restaurant felt understaffed as it felt like our waitress was serving the side room (full) and more... hence service was a bit slow. Roasted beetroot salad - A delicious blend of textures. Candied walnuts for the crunch, some tenderness from the beetroot, soft chews from the ancient grains. The vinaigrette and goat cheese comes together nicely for the flavour. Scallop and bacon pie - The pie was beautiful. The topping of the pie was a mash potato piped beautifully. Loads of scallop in the pie, but didnt get the seafood nor did I get the bacon flavour. Wouldn't recommend. Fries - More like wedges with some light batter. Unfortunately it was not crispy on the outside. Lots of ketchup made the fries a bit more tolerable. Sticky toffee pudding - Definitely a must try! Moist cake with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream. Topped with granola to give a nice crunch. Didn't try their cocktails or beers. Unlikely to come back, but if I do I'll need to try their beverages. read more

The Rabbit Hole has a cozy atmosphere and the place itself feels pretty inviting. The food and drinks were decent, and there were parts of the experience I enjoyed, but overall it didn't quite stand out as much as I expected. Service was fine, though the visit felt a little uneven at times. It's a pleasant enough spot, just not one I'd go out of my way to revisit. read more

We stopped by the Rabbit Hole for drinks and dessert after a full dinner. I love the ambience of the space, full of warm chestnut woods and candle lit atmosphere. The space is vaguely Alice in Wonderland themed, with clocks on the walls and teacups scattered around. The service is energetic and friendly, constantly checking in and helpful with suggestions. I had the Golden Ticket while my partner got the Malverick. Very different cocktails as the Golden Ticket was tart, lime forward and bright. The Maverick was dark, sweet and smooth. Both very well balanced and great drinks. We ended the night with the Baked Alaska. Unexpected flavors of coconut icecream and sweet pineapple, all encapsulated in a cloud of sweet marshmallow and torched. The pour over of rum (lit on fire of course) added some additional flare. read more

i had a burger, very good. my friends had fish and chips no issues, we were all happy with our food Service was great, Alexander should be considered a gem by management, he made our time so enjoyable, so much so I had to write this review (I don't usually).We went there on a weekday at 1:00 pm and the ambiance was good and we weren't rushed to leave. Thanks Alexander read more

We finally went to this place after planning to go since ages! We tried their pork tenderloin and steak and chips for main course and both the items were good. The service was excellent and I think the highlight of our visit was their drinks! They have a large variety of cocktails to choose from including the basic regular ones like my all time favourite Gin & Tonic. read more

Well, the staff were absolutely fantastic! The wines were decent, and the food was good to ok. The food unfortunately, was underwhelming. However, I'm giving them 4 stars because the two women who I dealt with were amazing, and tbh I'm not really expecting good food at a corporate run pub in the very dead financial district, lol. The scotch eggs were okay, maybe a bit dry. The pie was also ok and maybe a bit dry, but unfortunately their thin gravy tasted like burnt flour. read more

The slice of tourtiere was so small that it was almost missing from the plate..What was there was very dry.Very disappointing. We were a table of 5 and I was the only one drinking my water and I get asked if I want more.. the others had cocktails.. Not too happy about that.

Firstly, the service was good. Very friendly, helpful. The bar has a nice vibe, comfortable, fancy enough to feel you're having a nice night out, without feeling pretentious. The food....meh. the haggis balls were very bland, except for the barbecue sauce they were drowned in. Would have preferred a more flavourful ball, with a drizzle of sauce. Same for the Welsh rarebit. Cheesy toast. Underwhelming. The sauce on the cod was quite tasty, but the cod itself was a little dry and overcooked. It came with mussels...well, mussel meat, three small pieces. The steak pie had a nice crust, and the gravy was nice, but mostly ground meat, with just two pieces of steak. The presentation was fun. Though we enjoyed ourselves, the meal fell short of expectations, not value for money. Not bad though... read more

This is not the ideal place for vegetarians. Veg burger is mediocre and overpriced. Their salad are also very overpriced and small portion size. I even tried the soup which I thought would be a safe bet but honestly disappointing. If you're vegetarian and absolutely have to go here, id say the safest option is veg burger. read more

Recently visited a few days ago for a work lunch. Cute old school decor with wooden panelling and a bit of Alice and Wonderland theme. Tried a few things: 1) Scotch Egg - First time I've tried this. Hen's egg, sage & nutmeg sausage, piccalilli. The piccalilli (relish) paired nicely with the egg. 2) Ale-battered Halibut & Chips - if you are hungry, get this! Halibut, tartar sauce, mushy peas, and charred lemon. Light batter, fish cooked well and a favourite of the table. Everyone at the table basically ordered this. Recommend this place for work lunches and dinners. Maybe not dates or casual dining. read more

I was generally underwhelmed with my experience at The Rabbit Hole. Based on the pictures the vibe and the atmosphere didn't match. But what bothered me most was that I flew in for only one day to visit Toronto and I while was looking for a good and memorable food experience it was mostly disappointing. I made a reservation for two because I found their food items on their menu intriguing and the pictures looked nice, but come to find out that during happy hour they only service starters and small items. Nowhere (!!!) on the website does it say that!! So I wasted my only opportunity to get something good to eat in Toronto on finger food... and yet, after 3 starters and two cocktails, I ended up with a $112 bill after everything was said and done and still left hungry. On the positive side the sliders and the scotch egg were really tasty. read more

There is construction on the street so its good take the subway, exit on Queen or King station and walk for less than 5 mins. How nice for the chef to give us (I called it pancake, I forgot it's name) while waiting for the main menu. read more

I went on a Tuesday night for the first time with a friend for drinks! The decor in this place is absolutely fabulous, very upscale and well thought out. We were seated based on what we were having (drinks vs. food) which I thought was smart. We were seated promptly and the server was able to quickly check the dairy allergy at our table. There are definitely limitations in the snack menu if you are dairy-free. They have a wide selection of drinks and are pretty affordable considering the location and restaurant atmosphere. We shared the fries and malt dish from the snack menu. I didn't really understand the, "malt" aspect to it, but they were good fries with a side of ketchup. I would definitely go here again - especially for a nice business lunch/dinner, date, or night out with friends! read more

I love this place. It's cute, it's trendy, and the food is pretty good. The Rabbit Hole has Alice in Wonderland vibes with quirky animal wallpaper on the ceilings and a mountain of clocks on its walls. I was looking for a place that could accommodate a larger group of 6, and had a diverse and approachable enough menu for everyone, including children at a reasonable price. Even the pickiest eaters could probably find something they like on the menu at The Rabbit Hole. We started with the bone marrow and the scallops. Everybody enjoyed the appetizers, even the pickiest eater in our group. I ordered the queen's Gaelic steak and it was definitely worth the price. You get a tender steak topped with a rare bit (Welsh cheese-like batter, not rare at all) and portobello mushroom. On the side was duck fat scalloped potatoes. Anyone who knows me knows I have a soft spot for duck fat potatoes, so needless to say I found the food great. read more

The Rabbit Hole - Queen's Gaelic Steak - Gastropubs Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Highlights: - Service was warm and friendly - extensive cocktail list - spacious patio space - upscale English pub food First impression, lots of cocktails to choose from that were presented in a wide range of glassware. Queen's tea was my favourite of the night (served in a tea pot). Scotch eggs were delicious, nice gooey center and crispy outer layer. Beef tartar came highly recommended, we both found it to be just so so. Looked better than it tasted, the Yorkshire pudding was dry and cold. The halibut fish and chips was the best dish of the evening. It was flakey, well battered and the chips were crispy and evenly seasoned. Steak was a disappointment, even after they grilled us a second piece, it still didn't taste fresh. The Manager was kind enough to take it off the bill. We appreciated their openness to feedback and their values on customer service. Overall, it was an enjoyable dinner, we didn't feel rushed and the servers were all very friendly. A nice new addition to O&B. read more

A great place to bring a date or after work drinks, especially for happy hour. $12 for their cocktails is pretty sweet. Loved the Adelaide Pimm's. The lavender flavor was so great for a lavender lover like me. We had their appetizer called bubbles and squeaks which was very good! It's the vegetarian version of the Dutch bitterballen. The mustard it came with was so good. Our waiter, Kieran, was attentive, friendly and gave great suggestions. Overall, a great experience and it's a place we will repeat!! read more

Went for lunch on a Friday afternoon. I've always wanted to try this place because the atmosphere and vibe looks very cool. I'm all for gastropub style foods so I was very excited. Ordered the scotch egg (12), atlantic salmon (32), lentil & winter squash cottage pie (22), and the apple + blackberry crumble (12). I thought the scotch egg was very unique in terms of presentation and taste, really enjoyed it. The salmon was served with a very creamy sauce and a bunch of vegetables along with it. The dish was nice overall but I was expecting a bit more given its steep price. The cottage pie was really big but I thought it in terms flavor it was a bit plain, though the presentation was great. The desert might have been my favorite dish since it was just really delicious. It was served kind of warm since it was a custard and crumble while having the cold taste of the sorbet. Really nice dessert! Service was great and they have a simple reservation process through opentable but since there's just so many options downtown it might be a while since I come back here. Very good stuff though :) read more

Very decent and cozy place. Located on the north side of Scotia Plaza. Their cocktail was the best one I've had so far this year. I had the one of the strong ones - Ace of Spades. It wasn't sweet as hell like most of the other cocktails, nor too watery. It was a perfect blend of alcohol, flavour and ice. Welsh Rarebit - it's in the starter section but was good enough to be my main. The toast was toasted perfectly, with the cheese-flour mixture on top, yummy. Steak & Mushroom Pie - my friend ordered and she said it was great. Service was great. My waiter was so nice and explained to me how the toast was being made. It also has a nice patio outside. Love this place, nice and quiet. Great for casual meetups after work. read more

My husband and I had dinner here for our anniversary. The food was awesome! Service was really good despite an error made in giving me the wrong dish. I had to wait a bit longer for my dish but I was ok with that especially because from one server to the next, we received several apologies for the error. When we ordered a couple of desserts, we were pleasantly surprised to have received a charcuterie board of more desserts than we ordered of no charge ... I feel as part of their apology. We were so grateful because the apologies was enough but we did enjoy all the desserts. Ambiance is very nice as well. read more

Wanted to try something different and we came across this place on Instagram so we decided to try it out. Parking was super easy to find as there was a parking garage 1 minute away so that was nice. The entrance was a little hard to find because it's hidden by curtains. It was super busy inside so I recommended making reservations. It has a nice indoor environment, very English pub vibes. We got a couple of things to try and share because there were so much to choose from and it all sounded amazing. Beef Tartare $21: 5/5 We got the beef tartare to start. I was a little skeptical because it was raw beef and I've had not very good experiences with beef Tartare. To my surprise, it was really well made. Didn't upset my stomach at all and the taste was phenomenal. The quail eggs exceeded my expectation and the Yorkshire pudding was really well made. Overall no complains. Would definitely get it again because it's such a special dish. Steak and Mushroom Pie $27: 4.7/5 The steak and mushroom pie comes with a big boat of mash potatoes on top. The server will pour the gravy on top afterwards. The presentation was beautiful and the crust of the pie was amazing. The fillings complimented each other really well. Mash potato was to die for, it is a REALLY filling dish. Overall, i loved this dish. Atlantic Salmon $28 4/5 The Atlantic salmon tasted really good with a nice crust. Though, i really wish i ordered something else because it was ordinary in comparison to the others. The sauce also didn't really hit the spot for me. Never less, i finished it because it was delicious. Overall: 4.3/5 A REALLY filling meal for 2. Would definitely come back and try the other dishes like the Rabbit or the Tikka Massala. We wanted to get the sticky toffee pudding but we were full the the brim. The only complaint we had was how we felt kinda rushed towards the end of the night as the waiter handed us our bill immediately after we finished our last dish. While i understand its important for table turnovers, we also didn't see anyone waiting outside and there were some empty tables, and it wasn't even that late (8:11pm) we arrived at 7:15 for our reservation. We would've liked to have sat at least 15 more minutes to chat before getting handed our bill. Never less, the waiter was really nice and we would come again for sure. read more

What drew me in was the presentation and "Alice in Wonderland" vibes which had me wondering if the taste matched its cool presentation. Beef Tartare: This was done differently than what I'm used to. It sort of reminded me of my egg salad as I add pieces of chopped up tangy pickles. The scotch quail egg was full of flavor and the batter outside was crunchy, and I wished it came with more. Roasted bone marrow: The fact that they didn't cut the bone lengthwise is beyond me. It came with these carving spoons to dig into, but the marrow hole was too small to fit the spoon. There was also very little marrow in what we could scoop out, it barely covered 2/5 pieces of sourdough toast which was a waste since the sourdough was crispy and delish Braised Lamb Rigatoni: Our server (who was very nice and attentive) raved about this dish so we tried it out. The lamb ragout was unbelievably salty and the texture of the lamb was finely minced and we forgot it was lamb Steak & Mushroom Pie: Nice presentation and execution, the flavors were okay but I couldn't quite distinguish between the steak and the mushroom. Also I guess the gravy poured ontop made made the pie soggy. The beef tartare and scotch egg were definitely the highlight of our meal. However the rest of the dishes fell short of our expectations. read more

Went by last night before the Leafs game at 5:30 when people. It was packed yet, people were still trickling in from work / pre-game drinks/meal. Not sure if it's still COVID and they are under-staffed. We flagged a waitress down from another section to get our server to order our meal. We had oysters, salmon, and steak & fries dish. Oysters were fine. The fish portion is bigger than we anticipated. My friend barely finished it. My tenderloin - it was sooo salty but we had a game to catch so I didn't say anything. Just waste of a tenderloin with the over-seasoning. Fries were meh - they didn't even ask / bring over any ketchup. Just the malt vinegar but I only have the vinegar if I had fish & chips, not when it's fries and steak combo. Staff was friendly. Nothing great to write home about, just another downtown place to meet up and grab a bite. read more

The service was very attentive right from our greeting by a pleasant young lady with short dark hair. She seated us promptly. My wife and I were going to a show and decide to have dinner prior. My wife had the Halloumi fries, generous portion nice umami dip on the side. they were over cooked which led to dry interior. Seemed like they were pre blanched and finished to order. I had the Scotch Egg. just O.k. Entrees my wife had the stuffed chicken wings with chips. chips were store bought. the wings were supposed to be stuffed with Nduja sausage. filling was very dry and not spicy also had the addition of Garam Masala which over powered everything. Nduja is a spicy high fat soft salami from the Calabria region, so not sure why the filling was dry. I had the lamb mixed grill. The selection of meat was nice, well prepared, grilled cabbage was tough and very smoky. The mint pesto lacked flavor, over processed as it had lost its color. The cocktails were well done. We did not have any dessert. would return for cocktail hour to people watch. read more
