Elephant & Castle is a British-inspired pub where we encourage rowdy fun with your best mates. Here, you can always catch the match (because Football Lives Here) and have a nice hearty meal. Our menu is a Brit-"ish" invasion of flavour, yet warm and inviting. The Union Jack behind the bar might be faded, but the mood here is always vibrant. So come on in, and we'll greet you with a cool pint and tasty food.

    Great set up, love the design. Food was good, arrived before reservation and still got seated - but it filled up quickly! Food was on the cold side, and empty drinks pulled up on our table. Would visit again thought, was what we needed prior to the Jays game

    I think the music was too loud and I'm not too fond of it when the attendant goes too much to the table asking if everything it's ok, yesterday I felt that the attendant was pressing me to go out

    The salmon was cooked perfectly - moisture retention is important, and the two servings we had met that standard. The meat pie was fine, and the cheesecake very tasty.

    Sat on Patio so it was a little noisy on the street, but not an issue. Food was excellent. Had tje sweet potato fries to start then a burger and caesar salad. Deluxe burger was excellent. My friend gad Shepherd’s Pie and said it was very good as well. New server and she was fabulous! It was her first shift too!

    There were three of us who hadn’t seen eachother in a long time so we were slow to order and slow to leave but our er was wonderful and patient and made us feel welcome. The food was good and the server was even able to make recommendations when asked. I will go back again and will definitely recommend to others

    The service was amazing and our requests for modifying menu items were not a problem. The restaurant is huge, with 2 bar areas, and they seemed to cater to different age groups - the front had the older set and the rear had the younger set.

    The fish tacos and the shepherd's pie were delicious. Great selection of beers and coolers. It is the perfect location for a bite before or after a Mirvish production and the staff are friendly and efficient so you are able to make the show in plenty of time. We'll be back for the food even without out a play to see.

    E & C has been one of my favourite downtown T.O. dating back to the start of this century! We re-visited last Sunday for the Jays gams, and really enjoyed it as it is a bit removed from the Rogers Center crowds, food remains very good and the value and casual but very efficient service excellent! ❤️ this is a Mirvish Theatre fav of ours! Reservations recommended & easy on Open Table! 👏cheers! 🤩🥂

    Sadly it was very disappointing. E&C is our go to and we’ve always had a good experience. This time our server was non existent, my Caesar was terrible (I think they forgot to add vodka…2 times!), the food was cold, salad was soggy and the tomatoes on our sandwiches were white and green. This was a first, so will we give you another try? From our last experience there, I would not recommend, at least for a while.

    I would think twice about the fish tacos. The piece of fish was so small in both. The first bite you are reaching to get some fish and the last two bites are just coleslaw. Very disappointed actually.
