The Bedford Academy - Toronto, Ontario

Went here today after picketing with 30,000 other teachers at Queens Park. There was one server for the entire restaurant. Perhaps the owner should watch the news and consider the possibility that they might be busy with that many people in the neighborhood around lunch time. We waited over an hour ... for our food and this is what I received. It’s supposed to be a chicken club sandwich. As someone with celiac disease, I’m used to paying more for gluten-free bread, bread that is often subpar. But this was the worst I’ve ever had in the entirety of my dining experience. It was still partially frozen and crumbled as soon as I picked it up. The chicken inside was dry and tough. If I hadn’t been waiting so long and wasn’t starving, I’d have sent it back. This disgusting mess and one cider cost me $30+. Never coming here again. Read more

Vintage setting with multiple rooms giving you a sence of continuity and history. This alone is a prime reason to spend bunch of hours over beer and a sandwich. Place is 3 storey high nevertheless only main floor is for the casual beer goer- the 2nd floor seems to be ... an event space and the top floor is actually a private game room. Altogether a positive experience but 2 stars were taken away for the minimalustic beer choices. Read more

Nice old pub with upscale cuisine. When we went they just got hit with a big rush of people ordering at the same time so it did take a bit of time to get our food. However they did bring us extra snacks to tide us over so that was ... cool. Staff was too notch. The top floor can be rented for special events and is very nice with a bar and pool table. Read more

Good pub food and drinks. Nice patio area outside. Indoor area looks nice too but our large group sat outside to enjoy last weekend of summer. Brunch menu is nice... the PORTUGUESA HOMESTYLE HASH for $14 wasn't too great and didn't have enough sausage and meat according to my friends. I ... had the Blackstone Benedict for $12 and it was filling and very yummy. Service and hospitality was excellent. Our guy checked in at appropriate times, was easy to interact with, and even stood on a table to take our group photo. GreenP parking available on street and nearby as well as a block up on St George (6713) for approx $2/hour... Did not see any wheelchair entrance doors although patio area and entrance may support it. Read more

A favourite hangout for our former University of Toronto classmates. Offers the standard pub grub. Service is always fast and friendly. The Bedford is great for groups. There's patio seating out front and near the back. We always have a good time here.
