| - I typically end most of my reviews with a thumbs up or down to if I think the business is 'Worth the trip', but this time I'm going to start the review by telling you it's worth the trip! And it's all thanks to one dish: The fish and chips. The worst thing about it is the fries are lightly battered which I've never been a big fan of, but they're good. Very good. Would be better with classic cut dinner fries, but these are still rock and roll. The best part of the meal is the fish: fresh, moist and flakey, no dry bits, and perfectly battered in a nice flavorful beer batter that's reminiscent of the fish and chips I got while on vacation in Halifax. Hands down the best fish and chips I've had here in Toronto. Price was very fair at $14. The trip was a long way from my hood on Queen West to the end of Queen east, but it was worth it. Just awesome.
The rest of the menu is also good. I was there with a friend who lives in the neighborhood, and they told me the burgers are pasta looked and smelled good but we're not very flavorful. I haven't tried them yet, they both looked and smelled good, but you don't know 100% until you try them.
Friend had the fish tacos which he said was the best in the city and that he'd ever tasted. I had a bite of the fish and it was moist and flakey as well, nice flavor to the sauce. The edamame is also very good, great sauce as well and lots of pods.
It's a gastro-pub in The Beaches, so it's not going to be cheap. For a pub I found the prices overall were higher, but for the best fish and chips in Toronto, can you put a price on that?
WORTH THE TRIP!
