    Really great pub / restaurant. Restaurant downstairs, pub upstairs, both with outside seating, same menu, so it just depends what style you want. Food is great, and service is very friendly.

    Q&B reigns through its delightfulness, its casual approach to fine dining and its curry ketchup and chips. It even spawned its own offspring: Yorkville’s The Oxley. [Eater 38 Member]

    I love old buildings and this is a perfect pub spot. Great classics using excellent quality ingredients. Must get Secret Menu Scotch Eggs.

    Food is deliciously authentic and I love the chill vibes of the upstairs lounge and terrace seating. I'm surprised this establishment hasn't been swarmed by hipsters yet.

    Everything is delicious! My party was surprised to find the Scotch egg is served cold but we are unfamiliar with scotch eggs & this is small potatoes in the grand scheme of things. Bravo Q & B!

    Very authentic pub, staffed by bonafide publicans who really know their stuff. There's a beer for every taste, and a nice array of snacks to go with them.

    Have the fish & chips and order a bottle of vinho verde. If you are feeling wild: enjoy the great oysters here!

    Upstairs in "The Den" is the best spot in the house. Great casual pub feel. Good selections of Canadian microbrews. The Sunday roast was a highlight.

    I did have to send my meal back because it wasn't cooked thoroughly, but I believe the kitchen was having a bad day. Amazing desserts and the wine list is very good.

    Why? Because it's just like London -- in 1937. When a "public house" takes a stab at recreating the British pub experience & gets the blood sausage and scotch eggs 99% right, it’s worth stepping in. Read more

    The shepherd's pie was bloody delicious and they ha e a great selection of beers. Go upstairs and hang out casually.

    Authentic British pub done masterfully - cask ales, local wine, perfect with killer sandwiches, burger, meat pies, cock-leekie-soup & fish. Sticky toffee pud and pecan butter tart worth every calorie.

    Guinness is creamy and smooth, always order the mixed grill or lamb for 4. It's worth the meat sweats.

    Great attention to detail. Wonderful ingredients and dishes filled with creativity. Mostly meat options, but they're fish and chips are decadent. Yum! Oh, and those fries with that homemade ketchup.

    No foxes, fiddles or firkins here: Try the Devilled Lamb’s Kidneys & Dripping Toast for authentic British comfort food, or the soothing Cheddar & Smokey Tomatoes. Don't forget to order a pint. Read more

    Upstairs in the afternoon with football on the Q&B is a calm, civilised experience. Definitely add it to your must-do list.

    If you go for brunch and have a sweet tooth, get the buttermilk pancakes. It's like sticky toffee pancakes. I'm in love.

    Not too much veggies on the menu but the food was tasty. I didn't get sick afterwards so I've got that going for me, which is nice.

    Enjoy the food here. At these prices the sister location in Yorkville is not up to scratch. It may be the chef but can't be sure.

    Nice place but do not come here if you have accessibility needs: 6 steps to get in and 15 more if you need to eventually need to use a washroom
