Stayed at the nearby Novotel (New Yorker visiting Toronto) on 2 separate occasions. We came here for some grub and beer and we definitely got both.
The staff is super friendly and helpful. I've tried the stilton cheese dip, Guinness poutine and french onion soup. The French onion soup was reallyyy good. Actually all the food was. And I had my first poutine ever here. It was good, but don't really have any others to compare to. The place is pretty big and gets packed. It's a friendly, jovial atmosphere and I love it.
Whenever I visit Toronto and stay at our favorite hotel, I will definitely be coming back for some good poutine and French onion soup.
