A snappy upmarket diner at Yonge and Dundas (with entrance from the TTC station via the Atrium) serves good eclectic fare at decent prices by cheerful and efficient staff. And the coffee is bottomless as well... Pictured is the Tilapia Mediterranean which was fresh, hot and tasty. A good place - before / after a movie in the complexes nearby
Nice place in downtown if you plan to have a good beer and snacks. Ambience is ok, but the service is quick. Very nominal in pricing and you get a very good view of the downtown
Pickle barrel has to have one of the most amazing desert bars in Toronto. From puddings to pastries, they are all phenomenal.. Being a vegetarian, my food options were limited, but whatever they were able to make for us, was pretty amazing. Especially the pasta. It's a tad bit on the high side, but I would definitely go again!
Asian nachos and luau chicken salad are an absolute must to try. The salad is extremely filling, I'm never able to finish it. I've tried their quinoa bowls, not my thing a bit too dry.
All of the food was so good we wanted to order two of everything! The fried chicken with jalapeno corn waffles were really a yummy new take on traditional chicken and waffles. The fried pickles were the best I've had. Our service was painfully slow, and was the only down side to the trip there.
Although I haven't been here for a while I can remember the experience I had. My mom and I got lunch downtown one day when I was visiting and we had gift cards to the Pickle Barrel so we decided to give it a try. The entrance to the restaurant is beautiful with a unique and modern look to the interior. There are two floors and we got seated on the first floor more towards the back. Our food came in huge portions, we had a lot to bring home. We also had dessert and shared because it was such a big piece of chocolate cake! I liked this place but there was one thing that bothered me, there is nothing unique about it. It felt like the same experience I would receive at any other modern restaurant and because of that it's not a restaurant I would always love to dine in. The food, service, and ambiance were acceptable but not something I'd be overly enthusiastic about telling other people about. That being said, it was good. I like using the word 'good' for this one.
We were looking forward to the Bruschetta teepee but realized they changed their menu with Rose Reisman dishes. Our server was very melancholy yet provided prompt service. If you like salad, ask for less dressing. They made our salad with lots of dressing. The lobster tacos were ok. Lacked flavour but if you added the garnish that was provided it still lacked some kick. He ordered the Steak with Blue Cheese and I ordered the Lobster & Shrimp Linguine...let's just say I should've ordered the steak too
Amazing. One if our favorite places to dine on a toronto trip. Food is great, selection is amazing. Prices are ok. Never had an issue with service. All in all a 9/10
Average. I've been to Pickle Barrel twice. The first time was better than the second. The first time I went I ordered Mozarella sitcks and Grilled Chicken Angel Hair Pasta, along with a Rum and Coke. The Mozarella sticks were great, while the grilled chicken angle hair was not too great, the chicken was not done properly, but they did replace it so that makes up for it. The drink was watered down. The waiting time was pretty long. Second time around was not much better. The waiter gave us a dirty look after we downgraded our reservevation from 10 people to 6 people. We were told to expect longer wait time for our food because there was a big party at the back. I ordered Spaghetti & Giant Meatball Pasta, food was great, however there was only 1 meatball. The missed my salad.
Overall food is great but service can be improved.
I liked the food here. I've been here twice and so far it's been positive. The first time I had a burger with sweet potato fries and it was great. Rich, flavourful and filling. The price for it was questionable though. The second time i had a beef brisket burger with sweet potato fries again and it was delicious. My friend ordered a tomato pasta and she liked it, but it had tok many large chunks of tomato that she couldnt finish. In general, atmosphere and ambience and nice, service is okay, and food is yummy. Much better than montanas, kelsey's, boston pizza and Turtle Jacks.
