Goods and Provisions in Toronto

A beautiful, cozy little place, perfect for catching up with friends, meeting new ones, or just unwinding on your own.

This restaurant uses peanut oil in their fryer (as of Nov 2024). Sharing this because I know others with severe allergies check reviews for allergen information. I was told that they are using peanut oil, but that the temp is so high that the protein is burned off and wont trigger a reaction. The server didnt mention anything about how refined the oil is. My whole life, my allergist has told me to always avoid peanut oil. I know others who have had their allergist tell them the same. There is back and forth in the allergic community around this issue. Because of this, I think the delivery by service staff around the use of peanut oil could be better. I dont know that they should be advising people with peanut allergies that it is safe. Anaphylactic allergies are life or death. And even if a reaction doesnt kill you, it is still traumatic. We stayed for a drink and my husband had the oysters, which he said were amazing. This is a cute and cozy spot, the staff are all very kind and welcoming. If you have a severe peanut allergy, I would ask for clarity around how refined the oil is, or do as I did, and dont eat anything fried.

Extensive wine list, creative specials and amazing classics

Super cute little spot. Steak frites was excellent.

The cherry sour cocktail was delicious! #SweepstakesEntry

Gorgeous & beautiful & lovely & delicious!!!!

so dark! the drinks were yummers

Service was good, atmosphere was ok. I had 5* expectations for the food based on an online video, and seemed confirmed by the high google reviews. Perhaps I had set my expectations too high, but the prepared food was significantly below average. The dishes (oddly) had the exact flavour profile of certain fast food. Tomato bread tasted almost exactly like the cheese and sauce from pizza pizza. The steak sandwich, had a soft steak and salty toast that unfortunately tasted exactly like a quarter pounder with cheese. The twice fried wings were a less tasty version of (fast) Chinese restaurant style sweet wings. (My experience was corroborated by my fellow diner) The oysters were fresh and tasty, kudos to their choice of supply.

Our experience food was average and mains definetly over priced for what you get. We ordered a rose and a Chardonnay. The rose for some reason was 3/4 of a pour of the Chardonnay and it was definitely the bottom with huge amounts of sediment in the rose. Maybe they didnt want to open another bottle.

This place is a hidden jam in the hood;) definitely will come again!

We live down the street and pop by here often for a drink on the patio. Last time we were there, my usual drink (the penicillin) was not as expected it tasted like half the ingredients were missing. I mentioned it to the server and she just mumbled something about a new bartender. If I m paying almost $25 for a drink (including tax and tip) I expect a bit more than ambivalence. Sigh.

Best bar in Toronto. Amazing, friendly staff, incredible cocktails, food to die for and an wonderful atmosphere. This place is like a bar from the movies, a home from home, that you never find...yet, its real. Best place ever. But its small....so book in advance. The smallness is what give it its character.

It s a great little gem in Leslieville. Very cozy. Staff were great. Attention to detail for the decorating is noteworthy - even the bathrooms.

Love the speakeasy atmosphere. Cocktails are great. The food is also great, with dishes inspired from everywhere. Sharing plates model. Its not inexpensive, but its really good!

Great menu with tasty dishes, and good service. Very charming place for a date, would definitely recommend!

Great patio. Interesting and unique menu that changes frequently. Portions are closer to tapa Style light dining. Food is high quality and refreshing. This place is more for hanging out vibes and chill atmosphere with low key and casual stuff yet always polite and attentive.

Great spot to catch up. Its well deserved popularity may have you wait but its worth the move from outside, to stand up barrel, to bar and then to table (but we always stay at the bar because the servers are so great).

Variety & Taste on point. Eclectic restaurant for sure!

Great cocktails. Great food. The owner is a gem. Classic spot for our date night.

Such a cosy and warm atmosphere. My friend and I had the best time.

The food, while done well, is a little too tiny. The charcuterie is about 20grams of the thinnest sliced meat you have ever seen. For $24? I just thought they could have done better. Anyway, the cocktails are AMAZING! Wow! We will 1000000% be back. Service is excellent. Just yes. Good vibe, good people. Great! Just don t go for dinner unless you want to drop $500! We left totally satisfied!

Cozy atmosphere, amazing food and specialty cocktails. Owners were so friendly and will be going back asap!!

I wanted to love it here but the tables are ridiculously small.

One of the best spots in the neighborhood for food and drinks

The food was good! The service at the beginning was fabulous as we were seated at the bar and then moved to a table which was lovely. However after we ordered our food, we only saw the servers when they brought the food and we were never asked about another drink, and had to wait 20+ minutes after we finished our last plate to flag someone (I think the manager) down for our bill! The tables beside us were being seen constantly but it seems as though we were forgotten. That really put a sour taste in our mouth (besides the ruby sour which is a nice cocktail). Don t know if we ll be back but perhaps service will be better for other folks!

The cocktails at Goods and Provisions are fantastic! The service is great across the board and the atmosphere is amazing. I suggest sitting at the bar if you can because the bartenders make some really exciting cocktails and its so cool to have a front row seat for the show. Didnt have the food so cant speak to that, although what our neighbors ordered looked good!

Definitely cozy, great place and friendly staff with tasty cocktails and spectacular food!

Really fun atmosphere and killer food & drinks. It s a small, tight space and slightly chaotic if you re sitting at the bar but the woman who runs the place chatted with us throughout the evening and really made our night fun and memorable. The food was incredible, our cocktails were perfect and the wine we ordered was so good we got a bottle to go (which the owner was cool enough to mark down because she liked us.) Would gladly return.

Really cool vibe. Drinks were good, service was attentive and friendly.

Best burger I ve had, ambiance was beautiful, staff was welcoming. Would come back

how can you not love the 1. people running the place and 2. the place? great work guys and i hope to see you again soon.

Never a bad time here, and Ive been back many times. Sometimes for food, sometimes just cocktails. Both are good! The food is all prepared exceptionally well. They may not be the most generous servings for the price, but they are tasty af. I have never ordered anything that wasnt good. And that goes for cocktails too. Bartenders really know their stuff and the signature drinks are well developed as well. I would say my only ongoing issue is the darkness. I dont mind a shadowy, moody cocktail bar, but when theres food involved, I do like to see it. And the menu written on the mirror is a pain to read. Always has been, lol. But we make do cos the quality of the food, drinks, and service is some of the best in Leslieville. PS. Order the scallops. Its a smooth and beautiful plate of seafood.

Excellent abmbience, food, drinks, music and service.

Great place! Staff are super friendly and the food is SO good. We tried a bunch of different dishes and all were tasty and fresh.

Great service, very cozy, perfect for a date night!

Deliveries

Will definitely be coming back here to try the rest of the food. Sat outside because it was nice out but it seems like a really cool vibe inside. The food was incredible. It s not cheap, but it s worth it. Every bite was perfection. Tuna tostadas on special and the gnocchi blew my mind. If I lived closer, I would be a regular here!

A local fave. This is our go to spot for after work drinks and a nibbles. The food is always delicious, cocktail menu and wine list is always great! Food : 5/5

This is the bar u want to be at. Most intricate wine list i have ever seen in toronto. Olivia makes amazing cocktails and also has a smile that will melt ur heart. The dishes are composed of really good ingrediants. Simple and very satisfying. This is an absolute gem of a bar that represents the true toronto.

We stumbled upon this place last night as we were staying at an air b n b in Leslievielle. We walked up and we were greeted by friendly staff. We enjoyed ordering various serving plates and sampling a few drinks from the menu. The service was fast and efficient. Everything was excellent. We will definitely be back next time we visit Toronto! The atmosphere is laid back and welcoming. Overall an excellent experience. This is a great date night spot with character.

Great little place. Fantastic drinks and service.

Honestly, came here a while back for drinks, that were great. But recently had a chance to come in for food, and wow, my mind was blown away. The gnocchi, and steak were amazing. Couldnt try the other items since they were sold out of pretty much everything. Great friendly service, something thats long gone from Toronto establishments.

staple of leslieville, best eats with an intimate atmosphere and ever changing menu. perfect for date night!

Dinner at Goods and Provisions was a wonderful experience, the decor was warm and inviting, we were welcomed and the door and seated promptly, the service was impeccable and the food was delicious. I had been here many years ago, and enjoyed it then. I am happy to say it has only gotten better over the years. I cannot wait to come back

Best oysters and cocktails in the city.

G&P never disappoints. Cocktails, food and service are all exceptional. Love the vibe of this place.

We keep coming back again and again.

Nice people, amazing food, really good music and decor, totally recommend it !

The whole vibe is there. The decor, the lighting, the staff and the drinks. Eclectic is the perfect word for Goods and Provisions - definitely coming back

Amazing food and vibe. Wonderful service.

A special place, great atmosphere, fantastic food and superb cocktails.

Great spot that truly honours the art of cocktails. Their take on the old fashioned is the best I ve ever had. The quality of everything here is worth the price. The bartenders and staff know their stuff, and are very kind, and welcoming. shoutout to Olivia for the amazing service

Amazing service and cocktails. The Korean fried chicken is a must! Only knock is that the menu is really difficult to read off the mirror on the wall- but the server was great about explaining everything.

Sat at the bar, staff was fun, involved and took great care of us. Cocktails were all scrumptious,oysters shucked fresh, right in front of us.. nice menu. Thoroughly enjoyed our experience.

Great food. Nice ambiance. I recommend for a date night.

Every bite of food and sip of drinks was fantastic!

I have rarely visited restaurants East of the Don Valley, but this restaurant did not disappointment. Goods and Provisions is a small quaint place with awesome food and drink. The no POS system fit in with the atmosphere, but they do take credit. Would definitely return to try more of the menu.

The ambience of this place transports you to the olden days in Toronto or a cozy European bar. Although hard to read the menu (especially the one on the mirror), food is definitely great and well thought out. The place was busy and we sat at the barrel tables, but there were still some tables available at the back. However I was told (who looked like a manager and was rather dismissive) there were 10 parties ahead of us when I asked to move to one of them - a couple remained empty throughout the evening, though. Menu items were running low but our server was great and tried her best to get our orders asap. We shared a plates: the tomato and golden beets salad (yummy but there were no golden beets in it, maybe a typo on the menu or last minute substitution?). The tomato bread was delicious, one of the best Ive had in Toronto. The fries were equally good and creamy in the inside, crispy on the outside - the mayo it comes with could do with a bit more acidity, other than that it was great. My companions also had the tartar, and an order of mini oysters, and said they liked both. Id definitely come back, and make sure I ask for a table right away as the barrel tables are anything but comfortable.

Awesome bar setup and awesome staff and wide variety of Beers on Tap.

Probably some of the best cocktails I ve had i the city

Super delicious cocktails and great hospitality! A awesome place to visit alone or with friends~

The food here is on point, everything from the burrata, to the scallop crudo and the pasta were incredible. Will definitely be making this a go to spot for dining with friends! Also love the service here, so friendly and welcoming.

Awesome place. Tunes, deadly cocktails and food, beautiful ambiance, and super cool staff. The ladies at the bar are sweethearts and just have a nice vibe. Super chill spot that I would frequent if I was in Toronto. Thanks again to the ladies at the bar for a great night out with my . Great attention to details here. Try the Penicillin cocktail

One of our favourite local spots to dine and drink cocktails. Food is always creative and delicious and we love the bartender, Olivia :)

One of my favourite bars in the city. Solid cocktails, food, and service. Definitely a gem.

Just felt like I got kicked out of this restaurant - Order a Martini, opened my lap top, and the Martini was ready to be poured only to find out from the bartender that If the owner is in - no lap top is allowed on the bar!. I am absolutely in awe that I was not told as I am booting up my computer and she is making the Martini and they can afford to lose a client when there was 1 table inside and 4 table outside with a total of 9 people in the restaurant! I get the vibe thing - I think! lol I now know and now you know too! :)

Dimly lit and cozy. Nice relaxed east end vibes.

Fantastic food with a moody and dark interior, excellent cocktails. Perfect for a date night or a fun night with a few friends

Limited beer selection. Nothing on tap.

This place is has great food and the cocktails are fantastic. The servers and bartenders are super friendly and helpful! Will for sure be coming back to this spot

Cant wait to go back. The wings were the best Ive ever had. Hands down. Amazing service. Loved the atmosphere.

Great vibes and cocktails. Very busy on a Friday night. Their version of an Old Fashioned is delicious! Food : 4/5

We really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere, the steak and fries were great.

This place is unmatched. Wish I could take it home with me to Victoria. Ambiance was 10/10 and the food was so tasty! The staff were lovely and helpful! Will definitely come back if I m TO.

Beggers cant be choosers The staff was rude, the place was soo dark you could hardly read the menu, the food was bland and the portions were pathetically small but at no point did anyone at my table complain. When the waiter came to clean up the table he asked how the tomato bread was, the bread is just bland white bread soaked in cold tomato juice, Im sure there was more to it but I certainly couldnt see if there was. When I said it was fine he responded with well beggars cant be choosers in a condescending tone and walked off. Ive never been openly insulted at a restaurant before and thats a hell of a attitude for someone who literals walks less than 10 metres to put food on peoples table. Beggars cant be choosers - people with no other options must be content with what is offered Wheelchair accessibility: No way youre getting in there but its hardly a loss

Your attacks on teachers and public health officials are nauseating. Used to like you. Thanks for being vocal so I know to never give you another dime.

Horrible. Avoid at all costs. Unless you want to get COVID from these deniers.

Wont be spending my money with anyone spreading lies and disinformation about Covid-19 on Twitter.

Ambiance, great service and some of the best steak and cocktails in Toronto. Love this place

100% recommend. Great energy, amazing service, delicious food and cocktails, all at a reasonable price. Cant wait to visit again!

Love the food, the people and everything they are about! Need more restaurants stepping up like this. You have my utmost support.

Best burger in town and never get the credit they deserve in those best burgers in Toronto articles which are very hit or miss. Cocktails are on point as is the rest of the menu, our table sampled almost everything! We got talking with the owner who was waiting on us and she even invited us for a drink at her sister bar, The Comrade after which is another favourite of mine (also really good burger but dont forget to also get the tartar!). This place is a hidden gem, if you know, you know and if you dont, its your loss. Burger club approved rated better than Museum Tavern, Kojin, Allens, Richmond Station, Bymark, Rasa, Matty Ms and many others.

Amazing restaurant and great ambience, cant wait to visit it again soon!

Such a wonderful place with the best staff! Nikki, Olivia, and Jen (plus the cool chef that we didn t get the name of) were fantastic and super welcoming in the post-lockdown world. They clearly love what they do and take the time to get to know their patrons. Lovely cocktails, yummy food, and a great establishment overall. We will be back!

The interior was dark and the music a little loud but it created a lovely casual, intimate atmosphere. The front of house staff were very friendly and helpful. The cocktails we had, the Beck taxi and elderberry fizz, were so tasty that Id be back for that alone but the food, the food! The food comes out as its ready instead of all and once and I cant even express how good the food was. Not just in a its been too long since weve gone out to eat because of the pandemic good but it was legitimately one of the most delicious meals my partner and I have ever eaten at a restaurant in our lives. We split the oysters and he had the lamb chops which were a special and I had the tenderloin tartare. We couldnt fault a single thing. Fresh and flavourful, beautifully plated, perfectly seasoned and perfect portioned. I would highly recommend!

We stopped here for after dinner cocktails. Atmosphere was incredible. Service was great and the drinks were exactly what we were looking for.

A cozy quaint place East of downtown Toronto (Leslieville). Scrumptious meals and exquisite indoor decor, and oh my god, fabulous music! What I loved about this place was the ambience and on top of that, their strong cocktails... just one cocktail and I was on the moon :D Did I forget to say fantastic staff? Well, there you go... I said it lol

Great food and very friendly and professional staff

10/10 service and tartar

Food has always been ok. Atmosphere great. Just not willing to support a place that refers to me as a dog for following public health protocols.

Solid...nice place to have a cocktail and meal to end off the day.

We spent $600at this restaurant and they asked us when we were leaving and how many more transactions we had because people have been waiting. Never. Coming. Back.

Fantastic service and food. Extensive wine list and small, yet well-executed menu. The service is what really took our dining experience up to the next level. Highly recommend.

Friendly and unpretentious cocktail bar in the east end. We only had a couple snacks but will be back for more soon.

Two of us went at about 7:30 on a Saturday night, they don t take reservations, which is nice because we could walk in an get a table pretty quickly despite how busy it was! Staff is very friendly. it s dark but it adds to the great atmosphere. Small plates perfect for trying a bunch of different stuff and sharing. The specials were divine.

Way too loud and super dark inside, can barely have a conversation or read the menu (had to use my cell phone light before, but now its written on a mirror on the wall; we had to look around peoples heads to try and see it. I gave up and ordered a salad because I couldnt read anything else). I dont get places that do this. How is that a welcoming atmosphere for guests trying to socialize and eat? The prices are too high for the amount of food you get as well. As for staff and the actual food (taste), all is good, no problems Ive found. Cant say Ill choose to come back though because of the other factors.

Nice and cozy. Great atmosphere.

Came here with a friend (in July of 2016) for food and drinks. I ordered the bone marrow, and it was absolutely delicious. The service was great, and I liked that the atmosphere was dark--much like a speakeasy. I would have given this place five stars, but it turns out that they do not accept credit cards. Only cash, and Canadian debit cards--as a foreigner (from the U.S.) this made things complicated, and my friend had to pay for the entire meal.

When I first started frequenting this place a couple of years ago, it became the go-to bar to wind down after a weeks work. The potent cocktail list and tapas-like menu made for a great time. And one cannot forget the no longer on the menu RIBEYE STEAK WITH BONE MARROW BUTTER AND FRIES (lets have a moment of silence). The space is compact and gets busy and loud quickly. So get there early. The only downside is cash or debit only. Oh, and did I mention the ribeye steak with bone marrow butter?

Great people very welcoming great food

Really great food and the servers are very friendly and professional. The owner was interesting to meet too , a lovely lady who is instrumental in ensuring that during this covid situation both the customer and staff are well taken care of. Well worth a visit! So soak up the relaxing vibe on queen street , have a relaxing meal or snack and good selection of wine and interesting cocktails

Awesome spot. Great food. Lovely cocktails. Lovely bartender. Also the covid friendly sidewalk tables are a charming / brilliant idea. What more can one want!

We had dinner at the patio later in the evening and the atmosphere was very charming and neighbourly. All the other patrons that were dining at the time all knew each other, and the servers were very attentive and so kind. They also had an impressive selection of wine and ciders.

Solid cocktail and wine list, and great shareable food menu (including several daily specials). Service is great and they have become the go to for date night during Covid with my wife since their patio opened. Obviously shares much in common with the Comrade, but with an older and less pretentious crowd given that its located further into Leslieville. One of the best spots in the neighborhood.

Absolutely amazing little gem on Queen street. Best steak in Toronto. Super tasty dessert. Girls are nice and friendly. Highly recommend

Great cocktails, amazing staff, such a nice atmosphere

This lovely little spot is the perfect amount of dark and intimate to be romantic and vibey. Food is fantastic, service is better. Dont even get me started on the cocktails. Plus candle light is flattering to everyone.

THE neighborhood spot.

Amazing spot with delicious food and phenomenal cocktails.

Excellent Steak Tartare

Great service, excellent cocktails and delicious food.

A great spot with really good food. Open late too. Its the gem you take your friends as a surprise and just blow them away

Feb 1, 2019. The whole place smelled like diarrhea. We changed seats and had to leave asap. What happened???

Expensive for what you get

Cozy atmosphere, great food and beer selection, next level wine collection and cocktails

Everything about this place was 5 stars. We had been walking around Queen east on a Saturday at dinner time looking for somewhere to eat. We were unable to get in the first three places we tried due to us not having made a reservation beforehand. When we came in to this place we were immediately greeted and seated. The food was the best I ve had in Toronto and we regularly eat out and have lived here for 2 years. We ordered the tuna tostadas and the cheese burger. Both were to die for. The atmosphere was warm and cosy and the service was great. It was busy but we didn t feel rushed out. Overall great experience and we would definitely come back.

A little pricey, but great service and drink variety.

Great cocktails. Come for the burger.

Food and service were great! Room was super cozy. Will definitely be back.

A small cozy spot with a rustic interior, came here on a Saturday night with a friend. We had a few cocktails which were great, as well as eating the scallops with chorizo, The tuna tostada which was AMAZING! And the steak tartare. The service was quick and the bartender was wonderful.

I was the ONLY one in the restaurant, but was told I can t use my laptop. I also asked politely if the music could be turned down a bit and was told the owner didn t allow that also. How incredibly rude! I offered to pay for my untouched meal and went down the street for an enjoyable dinner.

Pricey for the portions of food you get, you MAY need McDonalds afterwards to top you off!

Amazing food. Great vibe. My only complaint was that the bar stools at the hightop tables were pretty uncomfortable for a long leisurely evening.

Loud music and pretentious food. Hard to hear the person sitting across the table.

Oysters were awesome and great drinks very different

This place is a gem! Staff are unreal! Thanks for a great time!

All of the the inimitable charm of the Comrade carries over to its companion restaurant. Prices are more than reasonable for the quality of the dishes, and the service is stellar. Truly a Leslieville gem.

Would thoroughly recommend...Amazing cocktails, great food, wonderful staff, and super friendly management! Their cocktail called Hand In Glove (pretty sure this is a Smiths reference - chuckles) is divine and should be consumed in vast quantities!

It was really good

Great place to chill for a drink. Food is also amazing. Dark

A cozy bar in the heart of Leslieville with delicious food and drinks.

This restaurant reminds me of communism. All tapas restaurants remind me of communism. I dont want people sharing my plate.

I like this place. Great cocktails. Great menu. The service has always been good. I have been back many time and never been disappointed.

Amazing service. Food was divine. Super cozy vibe. Great spot to have a good convo over meal/snacks and drinks. Great wine list and cocktails.

The smaller sibling of The Comrade (which is a short jaunt to the west), G&P is a more intimate venue offering a menu of the same breed. Good eats and classy beverages pair well with the antiques and dimmed lighting. Its a chill spot - one I hope I can hit up on the regular.

Another one of my favorite on the East side... I think Ive been there 5 times and always had a great time. This is a small place with a warm atmosphere, amazing cocktails and great food (tapas style). Go for a date, with friends or just by yourself. The staff is super super friendly; their list of drink is really good (any cocktail, really but also a nice list of wines) and the food is excellent (the selection of cheeses and charcuterie, the tartare, the tuna tostada and the wings... I could list the whole menu. I highly recommend.

Great cocktails

Nice and romantic place

Really enjoyed this place. Staff was very friendly, has great drink options and the fried chicken was amazing. I will be back.

Drinks always on point! Take it from someone who doesnt drink sugary cocktails

Love this place!! So cozy! I come here sometimes after work and it feels like home. Drinks and food are always on point. Staff is warm and welcoming. Always a pleasure

A great date spot or place for small group dinner! The food was very tasty. The oysters were small but good and all the sharing plates were delicious. The three cocktails we tried were all delicious and unique. The service was also very good.

Cozy atmosphere with great sharing plates!

Absolutely loved Goods & Provisions. The environment was amazing; quaint with character. Our waitress was also fantastic as she made the experience relaxed and informative. You could tell that the staff worked well together as it was a seamless experience with whoever you were speaking to. Not only was the food incredible but the drinks were also to die for. We ordered based on the recommendations from our waitress and were not disappointed at all!

Amazing cocktails, delicious tapas style pub food

Decor and ambience are dark n classy, service was great, but the food was average at best. On the menu everything sounded good - ingredients and combinations of flavours, but i found the food too salty and oily, and trust me, i can take my salt. Menu promised quite a lot, but my stomach felt like i took some pub food. Kudos to front of house.

A great cozy bar! Super yummy cocktails ( I had the Corpse Revival - very refreshing!) and the servers were really lovely and personable. Would love to go back and try a meal there!

This place has amazing hospitality and just as satisfying food. The duck special was beautifully balanced, even the fries are delicious. We got to watch the oysters being shucked right at the bar. Fresh and drool-worthy. Definitely recommended. I m not even finished my meal yet it I had to post.

The food was decadent and incredible. Two of us sat at the bar and enjoyed a cocktail along with caesar salad, tuna tostadas, frites, and a steak that melted in your mouth but was still crispy on the outside. Great ambience and wine too. Will be back!

Delectable!!! Since visiting bout 8 months ago the menu has some changes so I thought Id write another review. We had the new twice fried wing, this came with charred lime which made for an interactive and tasty experience. A generous serving of frites with delicious garlic aioli and sprinkled with chives, these two plates blew our minds... Of course we ordered our staple, tuna tostadas, which could have actually gotten better, though before that seemed impossible. If youre looking for a place with, amazing food, great cocktails and wine, good tunes this is the place. ( I wish I got a pic of our food but it didnt last).

Fantastic flavours with their sharing plates! Loved the cozy setting as well.
