So nice Great for a quick drink and conversation but also great for best food. This place will surprise you.⭐5 stars I can't believe we haven't been to it before and we live real close. We never knew they had a full fledged restaurant inside as we'll
Excellent experience in making reservations. The background music was great and not loud. Decor was very nice. I tried the grilled squash salad which was very tastey, however I expected the squash to be hot off the grille and not cold out of the fridge. I would still recommend this dish. The waitress was friendly but totally inattentive. She never checked to see if things were okay or if we needed anything. We had to flag her down just to get a refill on water. (It wasn't busy) She would have gotten a generous tip if the service was better. We tip by service and not by what society suggests. Over all, I would recommend this restaurant and I will be back again.
First time eating here. We were so surprised of how good the food was! Typical pub feel, friendly service. Prices reasonable. We had the Texas Beef Ribs which portion was HUGE and the Canadiana burger. Hubby had French Onion Soup to start and it was delish! Beef ribs dinner also comes with a soup or salad to start. We will definitely be back to try something different.
Canadiana Restaurant in Etobicoke is a true hidden gem. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the service is always friendly without feeling rushed. My go-to is their all-day breakfast with bacon and sausage — always cooked just right and served with generous portions. Whether you’re a regular or a first-timer, you’ll feel right at home here. If you’re after classic comfort food done well, this is the place to go.
Good restaurant... decent atmosphere and good service. They also allocate space for a company or an organization get together. Well arranged.
Great for a quick drink and conversation but also great for food. This place will surprise you. I can't believe we haven't been to it before and we live real close. We never knew they had a full fledged restaurant inside as well!
This review is for the bar lounge. Great little neighborhood type bar! The staff make you feel so welcome; it's like a real life "Cheers" lol. It really made the visit fun and friendly. Our waiter, Peter, had a great sense of humor ;) It's a relaxed atmosphere, so I probably would come here if I were in a hurry. The food is high quality, much more than typical bar food. The Reuben sandwich was stuffed with corned beef and so delicious! If you are into sports, there are several TV's. They also have a big, more formal dining area and a huge banquet room downstairs. The bathrooms are clean and wheelchair accessible. The parking at this mall can be pretty full at peak times and the pub gets very busy so go early! ;)
