Best Historic Restaurants in Yonge and Lawrence

Romantic dining rooms in a lovely old house. 6-course Valentine’s Day menu not cheap at $130 but lots of quality here - first four courses (oyster, mushroom consommé, shrimp and crab, gnocchi) innovative presentations and full of flavour, mains (pepper steak or scallops) and dessert (choc mousse) also nicely prepared. Service was impeccable even on such a busy night. Interesting wines on list, typical pricing - we enjoyed an excellent Pinot Noir from Niagara’s Cloudsley Cellars. Highly recommended.

The only thing is the table (like a coffee table) is too small for two for fine dining.

We decided to take advantage of the Winterlicious menu at Sassafraz. The choices offered were a good variety and excellent value for money. The service was fantastic and the ambience was lovely. The restaurant is nice enough for a special occasion but unpretentious enough for a casual dinner as well. The cocktails were absolutely delicious! Highly recommend.

We have eaten at a few different Kegs around Ontario. None can compare to this experience! Not only was the food great, staff very friendly and knowledgeable but the ambience and all over experience and history of this historical building make it EXCELLENT. There is free parking for those that eat here...not just in front but all around the building as well. You have to attend here at least once to experience this place. We will return for sure!

Exquisite. A superlative and welcoming experience. A gastronomic delight. The chef and his team were outstanding.
