The beech tree - Toronto

From the moment we walked in the door of this restaurant the experience was wonderful. We had a late reservation for 8:30, we arrived early. Despite being busy with Summerlicious they were able to seat us.We have been to many restaurants participating in Summerlicious and Winterlicious, often felt rushed, under fed and poorly under served, this was NOT the case here!The staff were friendly, attentive and professional. I had the trout, delicious, my husband had the ribs, again delicious. Portions were not huge, so no temptation to over eat.Great location, parking right out front.We will be back.My favourite was the Rosemary Martini, a must try if you like martinis.

4 adults and 2 children enjoyed an excellent Sunday brunch. The smoked trout eggs benedict was very tasty and perfectly prepared. The brioche french toast got rave reviews. Small, family friendly restaurant. We will defintely return to try their dinner menu.

On the recommendation of friends, for whom this little cafe is a local treat, we had excellent food and drinks. High quality, fresh ingredients, lovely presentation and good service, at an affordable price. What more can you ask for?

WOW! I went to try this burger that my friend recommended and she was right - BEST BURGER IN TORONTO! The search is finally over. The most perfect, juicy, beefy ground chuck sits on top of a perfect bun - with melted aged cheddar and pickled onions. Its unreal. It also comes with hand cut fries which are also delicious - but I could just eat this burger on its own - all day and night. All for a bargain of $17. Next time you want a perfect, juicy burger - head to the Beech Tree - and make a reservation first so you wont be disappointed - it fills up quickly.

This is a small restaurant that has a nice ambience. However, the menu is very short with few choices, and even so they don't even have half of what is listed on the menu! We sat down and looked through the list of wines and selected one - well, apparently they were out of that wine. then i asked about their fish meal - apparently they were out of fish too. then i decided on their calamari - well, they did not have calamari either! what?!?!?! My husband and I ordered the same meal in the end - i got the "small" portion and he got the "big" portion. imagine our faces when they brought the meals and they were pretty much the same size, maybe one bite extra for my husband! Both plates were a small portion size - we brought it up to the attention of the staff who confirmed that this is how it was intended to be, just a tiny difference between the two. to top things off, the women's bathroom was out of order, so i had to line up for the men's bathroom!
