Best Gastro Pubs in Chinatown

Our party has Celiac’s & Gluten Intolerance. The staff at Fringe was very helpful, and let us know that the owner also has Celiacs disease. Food was incredible! Our waiter was excellent! No issues at all and we will definitely return.

Went there for Christmas brunch. Great food, ambience and staff!

One of my favorite spots to celebrate at Christmas time. The ambience is always warm and welcoming. English food is never a go-to however you can't go wrong at Dandelion. The shepherds pie is absolute comfort food. Yummy and warm. A favorite all around.

Again, this is a 4.5 star restaurant—across all categories, including value and quality of food. The service, for me, was top notch—not only were servers attentive but were very friendly and seemed genuinely interested in making my experience enjoyable. I had some nice recommendations regarding some simple questions posed (burger or fish and chips? For which I was guided to an excellent burger at perfect requested temperature!) and my water and Guinness glasses were kept filled without the servers being too cloying. The Guinness was an excellent pour as well, and the Brussels Sprouts appetizer with kielbasa was a different twist and also well prepared. The only nitpick I had in terms of food was the hand cut fires, which were house made and fresh, were a bit tepid and flabby when served. The other nitpick was a seating issue—I was a bit nippy while seated at a hi-top in the bar area—the side door which was directly behind me let in cold air each time it was open. This is practically uncorrectable by the restaurant—so treat this not as a condemnation but as a pro-tip for your experience there (don’t sit behind that door in the winter!) And you should go—this was a quality experience and would go again (and again).

Amazing experience! The decor is on theme with everything we love about Harry Potter, and the Christmas decorations were magical! Food was off the charts (try the Brussel Sprouts)!
