| - My family and I were visiting my father in Toronto for the July Jazz Festival. He lives in The Beaches, so we spent a lot of time on Queen St. E.
We must have eaten at the Gull and Firkin 3 or 4 times during the 10 day trip. We loved it! Never bothered going across the street to the Lion, because Dad said the G&F is where it's at for food. Dad knows TO.
Coming from California, and wanting some good Canadian pub food, we were not disappointed. The poutine, and perogies were amazing! I was even impressed with the spicy beef nachos (and we have no shortage of great nachos in Cali).
As for the drinks, we were fortunate to have such an awesome Ontario brew as Creemore Lager to drink. Living in a place where there is a small craft brewery in every town, we thought Creemore was excellent! The staff even served it with Creemore pint glasses on Creemore coasters, a nice touch for us tourists.
The service was also excellent, and eventually the server knew my son wanted a chocolate milk upon arrival. We also enjoyed watching golf on the big TVs.
I would go there weekly if I lived in TO, but as it stands, I know I will definitely hit that place up the next time I'm back in Toronto.
