During a business trip to Toronto from the states, I was Yelping for a good place to bring 2 clients for lunch. I was attracted to the Beerbistro menu choices and the beer selection. I have found it hard to find much dark beer in Toronto besides Guinness (even though it's sooo easy to find in Vancouver).
The beer selection was terrific with browns, porters, stouts in addition to the good European lighter beers - the food was good, but not great. The duck fat fries were tasty although bit as flavorful as duck fat fries I have has elsewhere. The buffalo burger was OK but I had a better burger at the hotel. The salmon salad someone ordered was good, but very ordinary. Again, the beer was great.
So...if you need a solid place with great beer and food that won't blow your mind, Beerbistro is it...
