You are likely to find just about every cuisine of the world in the streets of Toronto.

With a plethora of different cultures and neighborhoods, the cuisine is as diverse as the population and will suit any taste and wallet.

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.
