Review from Angela L.

For years, I lived not far from Ben Wicks and considered it my little secret. Everything is consistently good and nothing seems to change much in the place other than the art for sale on the walls. Meanwhile, the prices are decent and the neighbourhood vibe is refreshing in this big city. Sitting right up at the bar and chatting over a seemingly bottomless glass of house wine is a great way to catch up with a friend.
The Left Door dining area has more of a focus on decor and comfortably seats a slightly different clientele. I've tried many items on the simple, but satisfying menu, but always seem to fall back on the fish and chips. The portions are generous and while the desserts are very attractively scribbled onto the daily specials chalkboard, I have only ever had room for their excellent bread pudding once.
The rather dim basement level dining room makes for nice candlelit dinners. Being seated near the front windows for brunch on a bright, sunshiny afternoon can make it seem like a completely different place altogether. -

Bias. I have been visiting Ben Wicks since I was a kid.
The brunch used to be spectacular in the day. Heck it is a british pub needing a bit of tlc. The pot pie (when available) is awesome. The eggs and bangers and mash were also great. Service in recent years less so. The coffee (well Jetfuel is just up the street!) Really takes me back walking down into Ben Wicks and seeing the old cartoons on the wall. Again another Toronto Gem. Price for brunch a little on the expensive for what you get. The pints is what keeps this place a float. -

Very typical pub grub, great service and even better staff. I would see myself spending more time having a pint here than enjoying the wings or nachos. The bar is lower level with a great outdoor patio. You can find original Ben Wick's art inside on the walls. Service and patio season will keep me coming back here.
