| - For a lucky year or so I worked in Cabbagetown, and House on Parliament was always a favorite stop of mine for a quick lunch or drinks after work with my coworkers. The staff always remembered what we liked and welcomed us warmly, and the food was great.
The closest thing to a gastropub in Cabbagetown, the House offers your usual array of beers on tap and pub grub like burgers and wings. But their dinner menu and daily specials always feature a heightened palate - leg of lamb, kobe beef burgers, duck confit with various deglazed or otherwise fancy toppings and side dishes. It is a lovely escape from your usual burgers and french fries.
Everyone always raved over their sweet potato fries, I personally am not a huge yam fan but I did like a serving of regular fries with their tasty garlic aioli. I have to say I was sad when their french fry making gizmo was replaced, because their crispy shoestring fries studded in sea salt bits were perfect in my mind. The new ones are good too but a little too chunky in my mind.
Standouts on the menu in my memory include the pulled pork sandwich, any time I ordered duck and the veggie burger, which came loaded with sprouts, hummus and veggies. I know that the kitchen/staff has gone through some changes, so I can't guarantee that this place is the same as the last time I was there, which was around a year ago, however I will update this post as soon as I go again.
