Village Idiot Pub - Toronto, Ontario

This is one of my favorite pubs I’ve visited in Toronto. It’s great on a sunny day with the sides open and I love the selection of beers. Would have been 5 stars but it is poor value unfortunately.

Fantastic pub! I seen this establishment from across the street, decided to wander in for a beer, best decision all day, so nice to have a beer in the breeze at the bar, roll up windows let in a wonderful breeze. So many fantastic beers on tap, great stocked spirits, ... great staff. Best fish and chips I’ve ever had in my life hands down no comparison. Washed it down with a Kilkenny. Highly recommend visiting here. Read more

I can’t comment on the food as I just a Guinness before hiking back to where we started but! Lol But our server Jill was so personable and sweet. Definitely recommend this establishment!

We walked in for a late lunch and were happy with the ambiance of this restaurant. However, food was mediocre and disappointing. The Shepherd's Pie looked soggy, and the ravioli with rose flavor looked as if the milk had curdled. The fries were way too salty, and we had to ... send them back. The server was gracious enough to get another plate with less salt. The apple crumble looked suspicious but surprisingly was tasty! A meal at this price was not worth it. Read more

Best fried calamari I’ve had, even better than a few of the fine dining places I’ve been to lately, this pub knows how to cook their calamari to perfection. It was tender and served hot. Seasoning was just right. They have a Nash chicken sandwich that uses 2 pcs of battered ... chicken with cheese and bacon (schnitzel) as buns, no bun needed if you’re in a keto diet or avoiding bread! And then served with a side of salad. Plentiful. $21. The soup of the day was a tomato vegetable soup which was quite good, the tomatoes were roasted. There were more than enough vegetables in the soup to make it heart. Flavour was on point. They have a good beer menu as well. Service was excellent, attentive, friendly and professional. I had been wanting to try this pub for the last 2 decades and never did for whatever reason but, I’m glad that I finally did get to try it. The food is better than I expected. I will return. Read more
