One of the best pubs in Toronto. The food is delicious and priced fairly. The new location and mansion-type atmosphere is much nicer and classier. The Prime Rib dinner on Sunday is great, but the Prime Rib Sandwiches on Monday are much better! Highly recommend this place.

I stopped in here to meet some friends for a drink last week. I loved the ambiance inside (which you will know if you've read any of my other reviews): lots of wood, dim lighting, and a really warm feeling. Plus, lots of London paraphernalia on the walls, which I love!
It had the feel of a neighbourhood local about it, and the service was really good -- attentive and friendly. Also, a major plus for me and others who are not huge beer fans is that it has an interesting, well-priced wine list!
Also, the picture is not representative of its current location. They are actually right next door in an old house, where they've been for a year now (according to our server). -

The House On Parliament is a beautiful pub on Parliament just south of Carlton. The space is gorgeous, recently renovated the interior is classic British pub meets high style Roman + Williams-designed space (like the lobby of the Ace Hotel). Tons of selvage wood, exposed Edison bulbs. Super cozy.
Everyone talks about how good the food is at the House on Parliament. After my first visit on Sunday, I don't think I'd order food again.
Ordered the steak & stilton cheese sandwich. There wasn't anything terribly wrong with it other than the steak being super chewy. The side salad was pretty sad, two cherry tomatoes on very standard mix greens with a poorly mixed vinaigrette (too much oil). Others in my party ordered burgers, which came so overcooked they were like shoe leather. Not good at all.
For a pub with such a great reputation and in a very good location, you'd think they'd try harder in the food area. Prohibition at Queen/Broadview is such a better choice for a pub-type resto with great food.
Overall, I love the space, didn't care for the food, and would probably only go back for drinks. -

A great spot to sit back, relax, have a few local or international pints, and let the hours waste away. You don't have to worry about leaving because they also have an awesome menu of upscale pub fare. I suggest picking from the specials, there's always something new and delicious.
The last time I went I had the grilled cheese with smoked bacon, smoked cheese, and a tomato sauce. The bacon was cooked perfectly and the flavours went perfectly together (as you'd expect). They're served with a mountain of delicious fries, which I could barely make a dent in.
They have a small patio out front, you'll be lucky if you get on it, but give it a shot. My companion and I managed to find a spot on Toronto's hottest day ever, but not until later in the evening when the temperature had died down a bit.
I think the best way to describe HoP is an unpretentious Cabbagetown mainstay with food and service that put pretentious bars to shame. -

Pros: I had the duck confit ravioli; it was most excellent. My husband had the steak sandwich and inhaled it.
Cons: My son had the chicken fingers and fries and pouted the whole time. My wine was served in a rocks glass. The fries are served with a teensey-weensey serving of garlic aioli. -

The HOP is the best pub in the city. The servers are fast and friendly. The food is excellent. Order from the specials menu and you will never be disappointed. And it's all very reasonably priced.
To the people who think they have experienced bad service at the HOP I have a few things to say. I eat/drink here very often and have never had anything less than excellent service. However, I do know what some of the complainers are referring to and in response to this I say you get what you give. If you walk in on a saturday night with a group of six and have to wait for a table it's because IT'S BUSY! anyways, complain all you want. Don't come back even! please! It'll leave more space for me.
Oh and to the reviewer that called cabbagetown sketchy and hoped for gentrification: go back to liberty village. we don't want or need gentrification. Cabbagetown is fine as it is. -

What used to be the downstairs gem of Cabbagetown is now next-door and just like every other effing Tarana pub.
No one will give you a straight answer as to why they moved, and the staff admittedly prefers the old location.
However the food is still delish and the staff is still fun, so we shouldn't be too hard on them.

Came here this afternoon for their Sunday brunch menu with a friend. (On Sunday's, they open at 11 AM so don't come before or else you'll find yourself waiting outside in the cold... snow in April...ugh)
The area that House on Parliament is situated is quite sketchy imho. You won't find me roaming these streets at night, but it's gentrifying. In the next decade, this area will be happening. Anyway, this has nothing to do with the resto itself so moving on ....
The decor of this place is really nice. We sat by the window and it was nice to people watch, while enjoying conversation.
There is a weekend brunch menu, but items from the regular menu can be ordered too. The Dining Companion ordered Egg Hollaindaise. Not too big and not too small, it looked delicious. She said that she quite enjoyed it so I'll take it that most people will enjoy eating it. I ordered the Spinach Salad and it was super yummy! Goat cheese, pears, walnuts, cranberry sauce, and grilled chicken over spinach. I would definitely recommend it as it was so filling and delicious.
I found the service to be good. The staff were friendly.
I might just have to come back to try other items on their menu. -

my first experience blew me away. i came with a loud, high maintenance table of six and the servers handled us like pros. the food was amazing, and i don't use that word lightly. amazing, delicious, and - reasonable. i've only tried brunch but i can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu.
the feel and the decor is cozy. the patio is nice, especially for non-smokers... but my favourite part was the bathroom! wowzers - that is not something i say often but you have to check them out. the clawfoot tub sink and general cleanliness get a big thumbs up. -

I do like this place quite a bit, but it's a bit over hyped. Everyone raves about the food, but the food is really just OK. Maybe it's what I've ordered, but it doesn't seem anything special to me. In fact, a couple things I've had there are a bit funny tasting. The brie and veggie sandwich, for example, tastes kind of ....off. The service is iffy too, especially since they moved to their new location. It can be hard to flag down your waitstaff to order or get your bill.
Not to be totally negative though. They have a great beer selection. The new space is cozy and inviting. The decor has all these awesome old maps that i'm totally a sucker for. It really is a fun place, but just not the "best pub in the city" and it doesnt have the "best food of any pub in the city." Let's not go overboard here. -

Wow - I am very surprised at all the negative reviews of this place!
HOP probably serves the best food of any pub in the city - it is delicious! I've been there a few times and have to make recommendations: homestyle potatoes during brunch, the fish when it's on special, and the steak, however it is served, are all excellent.
Yes, it gets packed, but that's part of the character. It has got a loyal following of frequent visitors that always keep the place lively... can't complain about a busy pub in downtown Toronto... if you don't like that, go to Jack Astors.
The only knock it gets on the stars is the length of time it takes to get the food - we waited 60 minutes once for our dinner... the waiter was very apologetic to us and bought us drinks and offered us free desert.
The waiters are always nice and friendly - I have never experienced rudeness from them.
I reluctantly recommend this place - reluctant because I don't want more people to go there! It makes it harder to get a table! -

No idea how this place gets so packed. I'd rather go to Wing Machine or Ben Wicks down the road than ever go back.
Two waiters are rude, which neighbourhood wide everyone complains about. The owner is lovely so I'm not sure why.
I don't think I've ever heard so many flat out "NO"s in any bar/restaurant before. The waiter was, NO we don't have any drink specials. NO we don't serve ranch with our wings. NO we can't let you split your plastic.
About the only thing he was good about was asking if we wanted more drinks. He was flat out rude. He was argumentative when I pointed out there was (multiple) hairs in my food. He wouldn't offer alternatives to anything. He charged me for blue cheese dressing after I told him I was allergic to it and he served it anyway.
The food was pretty awful. The wings and chips were dreadfully overcooked and along with the lack of service that was pretty much a deal breaker.
Won't be going back. I didn't tip someone for the first time in my life that's how rude he was. And I could barely move in the place it was so packed. For a place where all they have to offer is bringing my drink to me I'll think I'll pick somewhere else for my local. -

Updated - 9/1/2009
The FARC's were due for a disappointing outing and unfortunately this one came at the at the hands of my previously beloved HOP.
HOP you were disappointing last night! In search of comfort and good food, the FARC's headed out to the HOP to imbibe, chat and eat. Fortunately, the good conversation was present as always but that only served to fill in the dreadful gap between ordering and receiving our pub grub. It was a lengthy wait and it could have been eased by better drink service or a status report, I think I must have shot Christine a few 'where's our food dude?' looks a few times during our chat!
Once arrived, it was nothing special. The FARCS engaged in a discerning discussion over "sweaty pastry" for the steak and mushroom pie lacked a flaky crusty and seemed on the verge of imploding from steam, excessive liquids or good ol' plain microwave treatment. The braised pulled pork sandwich was delicious, the charred onions were a nice touch and the pulled pork was tender however the bread was a tad on the spongy side. Methinks a more softer bun would have been a more appropriate vehicle for the pulled pork.
All in all, quite a disappointing outing for the FARC tonight-we'll be looking to rebound next week!1 Previous Review: Show all »

Two & half measly stars.
So the FARC's were prowling around Parliament St. this evening to grab some libations and a nosh at the HOP only to discover that this must have been FPG night in Cabbagetown. FPF is my acronym for Flub the Pub Grub because that is exactly what happened at the HOP.
Deanna and I decided to meet up after she put in her sweat equity at a spin class. Hell the girl musta been down a few pints of water and was badly in need of topping up so it was the HOP for us. It was packed and for a Monday night that says something about the place. I hear the taps are great but not being a beer drinker I can't really say. They are packing them in on Parliament Street but for the life of me I just can't believe it's for the food.
We ordered Deanna's much beloved Steak & Mushroom pie and the braised Pulled Pork Sandwich topped with a half charred onion and fries. I bet you we waited almost 40 minutes for our food. At no time did the server say anything to us and we couldn't seem to get his attention. When the food finally did show up I must say I was disappointed. In the car on the way home I told Deanna I thought the pastry of the steak pie was sweaty and actually so was the baguette of my sandwich.
So here's my take on what I think happened. I think someone forgot our order or it either sat and got completely cold and ultimately some lamo assed moron in the kitchen nuked the pie and the sandwich because they were steaming but the fries were cold. You know how buns get all "spongy" when you nuke them and they are chewy, almost impossible to get through, tantamount to eating a cleansing sponge sans the soap. This is basically what we got. So much for all the hype about the HOP being a gastro pub.
If I were looking for a buzzing place to grab a beer and a basket of sweet potato fries then the HOP would probably be a great spot. Past that I wouldn't give it much thought as a food destination. -

House on Parliament is one of my favourite pubs in the city, and definitely a top stop in Cabbagetown.
The food is delicious and the servings are generous. Their fries are fresh cut daily and are some of the best I've ever had, a great accompaniment to your burger or sandwich. Speaking of burgers and sandwiches, you basically can't go wrong with any of these. The veggie burger is hearty and loaded with sprout-goodness, the back bacon sandwich is succulent and not too heavy, even with the ten slices of bacon that I counted in it once, yes 10, even the waitress was surprised.
The specials are always delicious. My friend and I indulged in a bison burger with sweet potato fries (around $15 maybe) and were drooling from how good it was.
The patio is a nice size, but since it's sunken, doesn't get much sun. Smoking is only permitted on the east-side of the patio. Arrive early for dinner, as seating is limited and it fills up fast. Not very appropriate for large groups, though they will accommodate if it's not busy at the time. The setting is cozy, and definitely gives off the charm of a real English pub. -
Review from Danielle D.

Initially I was excited to walk into this place, it looked local and cozy and the beer selection was pretty sweet. But first impressions can be deceiving.
We had a party of 10 and walked in, asking if they had room to seat us, as we realized it was a Friday night and it's not always possible to seat parties that large . The server who looked a few drinks in the tank already, suggested we could sit outside and then proceeded to raise his voice about 10 notches and shout out how he'd have to card all of us before he gave us anything.
Which was fine because the youngest amongst us was 23, and we all had valid government id.
The bartender/server must have assumed we left after that statement because he came outside and started badmouthing us, due to our age, to the table closest to the door. Then he realized we were all sitting about 5 feet away.
He then got really gruff and told us we couldn't move the furniture, which I apologized for as I didn't know and he told us he could fit us outside...which only worked if we put the tables together. He then hemmed and hawed and ignored us for awhile while we sat bewildered wondering what the hell was going on. Eventually he came back and meticulously carded every person, finding not a flaw in any of our, valid, legal identifications. The birthday person was really insulted by this treatment and flat out asked him why he had approached us like this in the first place.
His answer really disappointed me.
"We cater to a very specific clientele here"
To which our question was "And what is that?"
The answer being "If you have an issue, just leave."
So yeah, jerkwad/snobby/drunk, who knows. Our group was a bunch of mid twenty somethings JUST like the other people on the patio.
At first I thought he was just intimidated by the group size, but as we asked him if he could accommodate us in the first place, he should have said flat out no if that was so.
Anyway, after turning the corner to another bar and having a significantly better time, I told the bartender at the second bar about this story and when he told me he'd heard this story several times already, I wasn't really surprised. Not planning on going back, there are hundreds of other bars out there, no matter how great the frites are supposed to be. -
Review from Will E.

The House on Parliament has four things that keep me coming back time and time again
1. Their steak frites is one of the best in the city.
2. Their pulled pork sandwich, featuring half a caramelized onion, with fries is my favourite.
3. Their beer - cold and in a glass - frankly you don't need much more than that. They've got a good selection of light, red and darker ales. I love the Red Leaf.
4. Their staff - I feel like I'm drinking with friends every time I go in there. Go often enough and they are quick to remember your name, your order and your peccadilloes (like my not wanting butter on my pulled pork sandwich - it's a small detail to remember but makes me loved)
OK maybe a bonus fifth factor - I love hanging out at the HOP because everyone there lives in the neighbourhood and has that kind of camaraderie where you can strike up a conversation with anyone and be best friends in 5 minutes that, when you find it, you realise how great life and people can be. That sense of community is a bit like a post-war England vibe, which would match the decor. -

I LOVE HOP.
Personal memories here:
- Very VERY drunk guy joining us at last call and the bartender keeping an eye out for trouble brewing.
- Always ordering 2 Red Leafs and always getting the very last one from the keg and sipping an Orange Peel in dismay
- Scotty introducing me to the entire restaurant as "This is Sarah and she doesn't like cheese"
The Good:
- Everything here is good
- The food is GREAT - I've had two brunches, a stellar pulled pork sandwich and witnessed a club or two be devoured in my presence
- They have Great Lakes Breweries beers on tap
- I love the other patrons - I have talked to a number of random strangers there
- The staff seem to recognize and love me & Laura M
The bad:
- the restrooms are small and not maintained through the night
The weird-and-amazing:
There is a sign in the restroom that says 'Check your dress before you leave' ....or something. :)
Would I return here?
You know... sometimes when I am out in this neighbourhood, we walk past other places and say 'do you want to try here?' ...and we always just keep walking to HOP. We have a LIST of 'Plan B' places JUST IN CASE... but I will always spend my drinking dollars at HOP. -

For a lucky year or so I worked in Cabbagetown, and House on Parliament was always a favorite stop of mine for a quick lunch or drinks after work with my coworkers. The staff always remembered what we liked and welcomed us warmly, and the food was great.
The closest thing to a gastropub in Cabbagetown, the House offers your usual array of beers on tap and pub grub like burgers and wings. But their dinner menu and daily specials always feature a heightened palate - leg of lamb, kobe beef burgers, duck confit with various deglazed or otherwise fancy toppings and side dishes. It is a lovely escape from your usual burgers and french fries.
Everyone always raved over their sweet potato fries, I personally am not a huge yam fan but I did like a serving of regular fries with their tasty garlic aioli. I have to say I was sad when their french fry making gizmo was replaced, because their crispy shoestring fries studded in sea salt bits were perfect in my mind. The new ones are good too but a little too chunky in my mind.
Standouts on the menu in my memory include the pulled pork sandwich, any time I ordered duck and the veggie burger, which came loaded with sprouts, hummus and veggies. I know that the kitchen/staff has gone through some changes, so I can't guarantee that this place is the same as the last time I was there, which was around a year ago, however I will update this post as soon as I go again. -

Great food at a good price, when it arrives. The servers can be so involved chatting with their friends that you sit for ages before even getting a menu. A few years ago, they changed the menu and turned what had been a remarkable liver dish, done the old fashioned way, into "liver diabolo". The once subtle, tender liver had suddenly become overpowered by a too-spicy tomato sauce. I complained, asking why they'd ruin what had been a really great liver entree. I had been a patron for some years. The owner told me "the food is fine, you're just hard to please". I couldn't bring myself to go back for 4 years. I returned a few weeks ago, and noticed...they'd put the old liver dish back on the menu.
But ever since being told I was hard to please, I find it difficult to return. I doubt I'll be back again for a very long while.Listed in: Restaurants

This pub has great food, and good micro-brew selections.
The HOP serves an excellent Sunday Prime Rib Roast dinner for something like 15-16 bucks, and it also follows with bread pudding for dessert, which was the best bread and butter pudding that I've ever had.
However, I find that some of the staff here can be little snotty. The service is always efficient in terms of food and drink, however, I find at times, they can be quite cocky, and condescending. I have been told that it is because I am not a local/regular. F#CK that attitude.
I would be giving the HOP 5 stars, if not for the ego's at times.

From the exterior, this quaint little spot looks like your average English Pub. However, one glance at the fresh menu of the day will have you thinking twice!
While it is often difficult to get seated right away, it is certainly worth the wait. Grab a pint at the bar and socialize with your friends while you wait for your table (it can take upwards of a hour in the winter when patio seating is unavailable), it is worth the wait!
The head chef creates a lovely fresh menu daily, and I often try to order something of it. The food is consistently wonderful. The regular menu offers great traditional pub fare that is also always enjoyable. -
Review from Angela L.

I love the look and feel of the House on Parliament. I've spent many a too-warm summer evening out on the long, skinny patio enjoying beers and chatting the night away with friends.
Come the chillier weather, both the low ceilinged bar lined with regulars at the front and the dimly lit dining room to the side are both cozy choices for gathering in.
The weekend-only brunch menu features a colourful number of variations of eggs Benedicts. The eggs florentine ($9), although a little too vinegary still from the poaching, were pleasantly topped with not only the standard spinach, but also grilled mushrooms and tomatoes as well. The salad that was offered as a substitute for homefries was delicious as well. Sprinkled with raw pepitas, dressed in a tantalizingly fruity dressing, and plated with fresh fruit, it really lightened what could otherwise have been a food-coma inducing meal.
The regular menu of traditional pub fare and beyond is playfully divided into "cutlery optional", "forks and spoons", "silverware required", and "hands on". You don't have to bring your own cutlery, but you might want to roll up your sleeves in preparation for what promises to be a laid back, hearty, good time! -

I visited the HOP when I was in town for NXNE with friends in a band. After finishing up the gig, we (the band I was with and the band they performed with) wanted to go grab a bite to eat and HOP it was. The experience honestly couldn't have been better. 20 people, give or take, tromped in wanting to sit together and the accommodated us immediately on a busy Saturday night! The server was amazing- such a friendly guy with great beer recommendations and definitely handled us all very well.
The food was hot and fresh and no one could stop talking about how much they loved their meal.
We've already made a promise to ourselves about the next show in Toronto- we will definitely stop by the House On Parliament! -

I do agree with a lot of the reviews here.
I used to frequent this place when I lived in Cabbagetown. We'd be there least every monday for half-priced wings. I also used to go here for lunch and a pint on the patio when I had split shifts at the Beer Store up the street.
I go there less now, since I've moved away, but have discovered the breakfast. Overall, the kitchen is the best I've seen in a pub. Their standard menu has some fantastic food. The club is the best I've had. The burger is great. The wings are delicious. The fries are fantastic and come with garlic mayo - yum! For brunch, the Eggs Parliament and all the other bennies are your best bets.
Their special menu is something to marvel at. There are the different burgers (kobe, lamb, bison), there are the supremes, there is the steak, and others I've yet to try.
The only meal I didn't thoroughly enjoy there was a breaded pork special. Other than that, I've never been disappointed with my food. I should mention that the steak and stilton sandwich and the pulled pork as a bit too rich for my taste, but I know people who love them. I even have a vegetarian friend who used to repeatedly join us on wing nights and get the veggie burger, which he insisted was delicious.
The old location was fantastic, if a little cramped. The reason they moved is to accommodate more people. They also bought the property for their current location whereas they were renting the old place and had a landlord to deal with.
The staff is friendly and prompt. I may be biased because I am in good with them, but I see how they treat everyone and it's nothing but friendly. Everybody seems to get along great with the staff.
A great place to eat, drink and hang out. "Going to the HOP" is something I don't do often enough. -

While it doesn't advertise itself as one, to me House On Parliament is the closest thing to a gastropub in Toronto.
Unlike others that actually advertise themselves as such, they don't try to create fancy menus and compete with the latest fusion restaurant. It's just a nice little pub, cozy on the inside, a comfortable outside, with a menu of simple, standard pub food (see steaks, burgers, curry, pork chops etc.) prepared extremely well.
I always go for one of the daily specials and have never been let down. -

Best pub in the city. Specials are excellent value and change nightly. Team based service is usually quick and friendly. Only downside is that patio is fairly 'enclosed' and they allow smoking so there really is no getting away from the smoke.

The place is small but cozy and is a great place if you're looking for delicious pub food. I almost always order the hummus there; they serve it with sesame pita and sundried olives; it's so delicious. Last time we were there on half-price wing night; the wings are quite good and I'm not a fan of wings.

i had brunch here on their patio and it was decent. i had an eggs benedict and i cant seem to remember too much about it. i dont remember disliking it, so perhaps thats where the three comes from. i was also sitting right beside two smokers so i was actually eating that too. brutal. i look forward to the days when smoking isnt allowed on patios anymore. ive had better brunches but i do like the patio itself and the old look of the place is nice. id come here for a different meal just because its come recommended.
