Chop was created for people who love connecting, sharing experiences, and everything steak. Proudly Canadian and minutes away from Toronto Pearson Airport, Chop Dixon Road is located in the heart of the hotel and convention district with ample free parking.

Our Montague broiler cooks at up to 1800 °F, giving a beautiful crust and flavour to every steak! We slow roast our prime rib in a humidity-controlled oven, keeping it mouth-watering and tender. We put this same level of care into each of our plant-based, seafood, gluten-conscience dishes, and hand-crafted cocktails. All of this quality comes with friendly hospitality in warm and energetic rooms.

We absolutely LOVED our experience at Giulietta. My fiancé and I went for my birthday and sat at the bar. Everything was beautiful and TJ the bartender was super knowledgeable and so fun! He helped us with cocktail & wine choices and let us know all of his favourite things on the menu. He also went above and beyond when I was floored by the olive oil - he got the bottle from the kitchen so I could take a picture and find it for home! We had the burrata & fired artichoke to start (do not miss the burrata!!), the lobster risotto (one of the best I’ve had) the chestnut ravioli and Giulietta pizza - all fab! Finished off with the Torta Della Nonna. We’ll be back!

This particular Keg is always a winner with me and the people that join me. Miss this atmosphere and well maintained premise. With its unique room variations, this place always gets great reviews. I sometimes wish the newer modern Kegs had the same atmosphere, but they don’t come close!
