    Had the poutine (fried gnocchi with sturgeon bolognese sauce) which is so good I can have it all. Also had the beastwich which is a beast! It is huge and very rich so be prepared.

    Did the tasting menu and picked duck. Unique in the sense that they create a customized course just for you using every part of the animal (depending on how adventurous you are).

    Here again! Try the house pickles, the beef cheek, their biscuit sandwiches like the Bruce Leroy, and end it with the sticky toffee pudding. For a bigger meal, check out their whole animal dinners.

    The beastwich is super delicious and perfect to cure any hangover! Order half salad and half potatoes, both sides have great flavours.

    5 Stars - The Duck Confit French Toast was amazing I recommend washing it down with a Perfect Storm (rum, home made ginger beer & lime juice).

    Don't pass up the Beastwich, a towering monster of a sandwich featuring buttermilk biscuits, fried chicken, pimento cheese, and egg, and gravy. You won't regret it.

    Beast 120 is the best deal in town! $5 glasses of wine, $4 beers and $4 tasting plates. Try the pig's head pasta, the lamb ribs and their burger, all are amazing. Great service as well.

    The Baby Bok Choy and Celery Root Steak blew our minds. Also don’t miss the Sweetbreads, Squid, and the Chocolate Banoffee Pie. (closed Sunday)

    Brunch as Beast is a must. Though the Labatt 50 Breakfast might seem tempting, we suggest the Challah French Toast. Read more

    Delicious small place near Queen West. Good for brunch- put your name down & wonder around queen west while you wait.

    Crispy pork hock was delicious, Potato wedges were delicious, maple bacon donut was delicious. Only thing not delicious was the kimchi on my plate. Over salted mess.

    Boar gnocchi poutine, sticky toffee pudding, breakfast and dinner. It’s small so hard to get in sometimes so worth the wait

    I adored the Huevos Rancheros. Delicious, spicy, huge portion. Get it with the chorizo.

    Amazing!! Best to just ask Chef Scott Vivian to just serve you what he wants. Tis the best way...

    Happy hour wine for $5 = win. Avoid the beef tongue lettuce wraps and say yes to gnocchi poutine!

    Had the tasting menu. Good food, but quite pricey; and the wine list left a lot to be desired. The brunch here is excellent. My suggestion: come to brunch; it's your best value here.

    They go small on the chicken, worth asking for a decent portion when ordering the beastwich. I left still hungry

    Wacky menu. Nothing here is typical. Good if you’re looking for something fresh and new. Not good if you just want a recognizable meal.
