General Public

General Public is an ambitious and stylish day-to-night restaurant that reimagines the classic English pub with a distinctly Torontonian flair.

The menu reflects this duality, serving elevated pub fare with creative touches, from a breakfast sandwich topped with a hashbrown and queso to a refined beef-and-tongue pie.
