Reviews for Elephant & Castle in Toronto, ON
Great ambience, food & drinks! Got a table on a Friday night and loved being here. The music is not too loud and one can... actually here the others on the table speak. Perfect place was food and drinks!! The flatbreads are great. The chicken on theskewers were okay. The fries and cocktails were great! Read more
Enjoyed this place, has a fun and interesting vibe. Arrived without a reservation, but they accomodated us anyway. Service was... good and the menu has a lot of good selections. We opted for the Noble Salad with Salmon and the Steak and Chips, both weredeliciously prepared and left us very satisfied. Before that, we kicked things off draught beers and Pretzel Bites. The PretzelBites were delicious, served with a tasty cheese and bacon dip which had a subtle taste of garlic. Everything was great, nocomplaints. Would eat here again with no hesitation, definitely reccomend. Read more
I live right down the street from Elephant & Castle and come here all the time. They have a great serving staff, a good... selection of pub food and a wonderful beer and alcohol menu. I think the best feature, however, is the location (Simcoe andKing), kitty-corner to St. Andrews Church. It's a fairly big intersection, so there are lots of people and it's great for peoplewatching on a sunny spring afternoon. I love the Elephant & Castle, So come on by and join me for a beer...

This place is definitely bigger than it appears. Lots of tables available for various sizes of groups and there is a healthy... variety of customers (I noticed there were a lot more ?older people? than you would see at other pubs). Staff here are friendlyand service was quick given I came during a Raptors playoff game. Unfortunately as much as I would have liked to make thisplace one of my regulars, the food did not meet the same level of satisfaction. The fish and chips were apparently a pubfavourite but I found it to be way too oily and the crust was too crumbly. Was hard to eat so I picked out the actual fish andleft the crust on the side. The coleslaw was also pretty mediocre. The fries were the best part of the dish. I would come backfor drinks only and would recommend coming here only for drinks and not for their food. Read more
I wasn't going to post a review about this place but because it was so bad and it ruined my day twice I decided to call out this... place. This is supposed to be a British pub so I figured the fish and chips should be good. When my fish arrived it lookedamazing, I was so excited to dive into it. I took one bite and I could smell the old oil and grease. I attempted to dab the fishwith a paper towel to see if I could get rid of some oil and still eat the fish. Wasn't going to happening. The waitress cameover to ask about the meal, I pushed down on the fish with my fork and you could see all the oil. She offered to bring meanother fish, unfortunately the new one was even worse. I didn't even take a bite, I turned the fish around and it was soaked inoil. I asked the waitress for a plate of fries, another disappointment, they were cold and had the same old oil and greasysmell. I ate half the plate because we were out for hours and I was starving. The manager and waitress did offer me somethingelse from the menu, but by that time my wife was almost done with her pot pie, and I was done with the place. Now how it ruinedmy day twice, we get home and my stomach starts to feel weird, a few mins later I am in the bathroom, whatever fries I did eatwanted out my system one way or another. Read more
Service was quick and provided helpful recommendations by our server. The prices are affordable for a downtown restaurant. We... had the chicken pot pie and the Cajun chicken wrap. Good comfort food meal! Will be back Read more
Really great experience here this week and cannot wait to return! The food was great and so reasonably priced for the portion... size, the drinks were good and also super reasonable and the service was fantastic. We loved the pub feel that it had throughoutand how central the location was to everything. We will definitely return! Read more
