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 space itself is a conversation between two aesthetics: the main floor features lush, green banquettes and warm wood for a sophisticated pub feel, while the upstairs mezzanine offers a vibrant, peach-hued 1980s-inspired lounge. 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.
