The Beech Tree in Toronto

One of the best restaurants we have ever had the pleasure of dining in -- food elevated to the next level! Starting with the kale salad, then on to the astounding pork tenderloin, and topping it all off with the pear crumble... it was perfection! What a treasure!

Cute little restaurant with reasonably priced food and excellent service. Wish I could have stayed longer.

One of only a couple of go-tos on Kingston Rd. The food is always incredible, with their special fall salad with squash, soft white cheese, raisin dressing being a stand-out. Make sure to try the warm mushroom appy with wild rice as well as its quite unique. Also, you cant go wrong with $12-13 cocktails from their extensive list...the black walnut manhattan is a must-try. Will of course be back!

Sadly disappointed. Server was rude. Food was salty and overdone.

Unpretentious atmosphere. Inventive amd delicious menu. Very fair prices. Great service. What else can you ask for? Will be back!

It s fine, but after a couple of visits I don t think I ll be back, as the list of small flaws is too long. Duck and steak were both drastically overcooked. Server sprayed Lysol on adjacent upwind table on the patio. Pint glass wasn t clean. I see Beech Tree and Greta Solomon s as similar restaurants, and although Greta Solomon s is a bit more expensive, it s a lot better. I would rather pay $36 for a perfectly executed bavette steak than $27 for an overdone stringy sirloin.

The best gnocchi I ve had this side of the city!

Vegetarian options: Roasted mushrooms were outstanding! Food

Always a great experience! It s our local go to for special occasions. Food and drinks are both creative and delicious. You won t be disappointed.

A true hidden gem. The gnocchi and seared scallops are some of the best I ve ever had. While the portions aren t big, they don t need to be when the food is this delicious.

Great food, especially for the price.

Great place..very friendly owner and staff.very accommodating to your needs...also attended a wake there...great service all the way.

Whaoo whaoo whaoo. I havent had such a successful dinner for a long time . Exceptional food, ,good service, great drinks and a price that doesntske you regret you left the house . Food

Very small restaurant, giving it a personal feel. The menu is short, and well made with some quite unique dishes. The food is very good, as are the drinks, and the atmosphere is very nice. Really makes you feel like you are the only ones there. It is never loud, and the service is fantastic. I would definitely reccomend dining here.

Great food and atmosphere.

Best food ever!! MUST try the mushrooms!

Great food & service!

We made The Beech Tree part of Winterlicious and it was amazing! Great food and wonderfully cozy ambiance and excellent service! We will be back for sure. Its a lovely little gem.

Best restaurant in the beaches! Amazing cocktails.

Wow again. Just had our 2nd visit in the last ten days. Four of us first time and nine of us yesterday. We could not stop talking about this amazing restaurant. Staff are so friendly and right on top of things. Try their BT Martini, everyone in our group had one, just an incredible concoction. The menu is short but everything available is outstanding and fresh. The main courses are in the $20-$30 price range but would be $80-$100 for the same anywhere else. Its that good, the chef knocks it out of the park. Dont leave without trying the Sticky Toffee Pudding. Cant wait for our next visit!

We had a lovely mid-week dinner last week. Everything was delicious at the presentation was excellent. My partner loved the Crispy Pea Crepe. I enjoyed my stuffed chicken. My only feedback it that it would have been nice to have more vegetables (the chicken sat on a vegetable puree), given the price point. Friendly, good service. We will definitely go back!

A cosy little gem in the beaches to enjoy your dinner. The food is phenomenal and every dish tastes so fresh and delicious. We tried the roasted mushrooms, seared scallops crab dumplings and fish of the day. For dessert, we had the sticky toffee pudding - the best I have had so far. The service was equally wonderful. Would totally recommend this place for your next dinner date or a get together.

Comfy, cozy and remarkably great food. Downtown experience without the hassle. Fantastic drinks.

My husband and I love Beech Tree, its our absolute favourite spot in the entire city! Incredible food, amazing staff and a stellar atmosphere. HIGHLY recommend!

Always good food and service is great. Neighborhood gem #1

Another great meal from our favourite restaurant, the Beech Tree. The cumin flavouring of the egg noodles appetizer was exquisite. My wife went for the French onion gnocchi, and I went for the scallop and crab dumplings. Everything was heavenly. Thanks again! Food : 5/5 |

Heldar is amazing! Good drinks, atmosphere! Can t wait for the summer patio season and some new seasonal items!

The staff, chef, owner and food is incredible. If I could give more stars I would!

The Beech Tree is amazing! The staff, the food, the cocktails, the atmosphere are all top class! Highly recommend coming from any part of the city to try their seasonal menus and carefully crafted, flavourful dishes.

A cozy restaurant with friendly and attentive service and superior, extremely tasty, food prepared in an original way. Nice selection of cocktails as well. A perfect evening. It could NOT have been any better!

Tonight my family + I went to The Beech Tree. Upon entering we noticed how much noise there was. It was sensory overload, people talking over one another so it was loud to say the least. Once seated the chatter amplified so it made it hard to converse with the person sitting in front of you. I ordered a lime mojito myself + wasnt very impressed. It was mediocre compared to a lot of other places Ive dined at. It lacked sweetness. As for the meal I chose which was the seared scallops + crab dumplings I appreciated it however it had a lot of salt. Both my parents were extremely satisfied with their meals though so I dont want to take away from that. The servers were attentive + made sure we were taken care of so they got a generous tip. The music was great but you could barely hear it over how loud people were talking. The music was Bob Marley etc. Lastly the dessert, my family + I ordered both the desserts on the menu, the chocolate cake + something else I cant recall but they were both fantastic. And I also want to address the washrooms as they looked neglected. The mirror in the female washroom was slanted + dividing wall that separates the sink from toilet was shaky. I share this because even going to the washroom is part of the experience patrons have with this place. Would I go there again? Probably not. BUT Im grateful for the new experience. Thank you

The food is some of the best of Torontos East End. Service is excellent. Ambiance is homey, but refined.

Wonderful, intimate and exceptional food.

This is a lovely little restaurant on Kingston Road. Ive been here three times. One time for dinner, one for brunch, and today for lunch. Its always been delicious and the staff are so friendly. The ladies working today were very busy because the place was full on a Wednesday for lunch but they were very pleasant and the service was excellent despite the fact that they were so busy. Check it out!

This place is fantastic! Lovely ambiance! Food was superb! Staff was lovely! Bravo!!!

Best kept secret in The Beaches. Fine dining at very affordable prices. The owners always make you feel welcomed. Best burger and frites around!!!! Food

Food as so delicious. I loved the flavour and texture combinations. Mushroom appetizer was so tasty! All dishes were amazing. And I loved the size of the restaurant, not overly noisy, but the right level of ambiance.

The Gnocchi was absolutely excellent

Fantastic, went with my husband during winterlicious and we were pleasantly surprised by the taste, presentation and creativity. The drinks were lovely, service was friendly, attentive, you feel at ease and comfortable immediately. We went back a few times after, because we know it will not be disppointing and get to have quality food.

Order the meat and cheese plate. You won t regret it.

Absolutely incredible - a real hidden gem in the upper beaches. Everything from the drinks, to the appetizers, mains, and desserts was delicious and so reasonable priced.

This was our first visit and well be certain to return soon. We ordered the kale salad and the Miso chicken, both of which were delicious.

Absolutely top notch experience in all aspects. Each dish was next level special. The bartender is a glorious machine of perfect cocktails. Perfect service, fantastic house wine. I m so so so happy that our city is coming back to life with restaurant culture and that my first experience in a long time was The Beech Tree. Special.

Cant say enough good things! They have an exceptional menu with great service. Will be back for sure!

Great little local spot. Nice cocktails and menu switches up regularly.

Very good service! Nice food, though a bit noisy but the atmosphere is warm, cozy and we had a great dinner.

Always delicious food and great atmosphere

One of my new favourite dinner spots! Love it

1 app, 2 entrees, 2 drinks, dessert, tax and tip was 115. Had a really great dining experience at the Beech tree last night. We had warm olives with flatbread, pork shoulder, grilled tuna special and the sticky toffee pudding. All dishes were well presented and delicious. Service was great from the owner and 1 waitress on duty. Drinks were well mixed, tasty and plenty boozy. I thought the value was very high for the quality of food and drink. The only blight was the place smelled strongly of olives inside and the two tables outside felt a little desolate. Some lanterns would make a huge difference.

You cannot possibly go wrong with The Beech Tree. This has been our local haunt/second home since moving here in 2019, and between the seasonal menu items (the sponge toffee cake), the regular favourites and the daily fish, its all thoughtfully designed and well made. The drinks and rotating tap are great, and the service is always excellent. I cant say enough good things. You will never regret a visit!

Amazing food, reasonable value, great service, good beer on tap.

A gem with an absolutely delicious menu in a casually stylish, intimate atmosphere. Staff are friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. A favourite destination for higher end local dining.

Everything, actually, everything is super, I loved it thanks to the one who hurt me so much. Thank you thank you

The Beech Tree provides delicious and artfully prepared dinners. We enjoyed eating outside with friends. My main dish was an attractive and mouthwatering ducks breast. My bride and I savored a bespoke ice cream sandwich for dessert. Time and money well spent.

We wanted somewhere cosy and intimate to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary, so I suggested we go here. The staff were warm and friendly, their service stellar, the food and cocktails superb and the cosy vibe just right. Even the prices were very reasonable. We left full and happy and honestly couldnt fault it in any way. I think we just found our new date night hangout!

Quality. Everything on their menu is delicious. Small menu but everything is absolutely amazing. They do have really good cocktails as well and very reasonably priced.

Can t tell you how amazing the food is! Great service too!

Very friendly staff. Good food. I wish they would have a back patio, its quite noisy along the road.

Great food, creative dishes and friendly service - can be a bit loud on weekends. Minor quibble; Id like to see more varied wine selections to go with the interesting food.

Food and ambiance was amazing. Service was average. Look forward to their new seasonal menus.

Consistently great food, service and ambiance. Lucky to have this little gem in the Beach!

Food was very good. Service was great too. Very cozy local beach spot. Would definitely go back......

Great menu , friendly staff & good prices !!!!

best restaurant in the east end, hands down. food always exceptional.

The Beechtree has the best food! We always love it! Great atmosphere! Excellent service! Fun cocktails! It is a wonderful restaurant!

Our first patio experience since the province reopened. The food was spectacular. Fresh. Flavourful. Couldnt have asked for better.

This is our go to place if we crave something special. The food and cocktails are so delicious, it s our favourite east end spot!

Exceptional food (delicious and beautifully presented), great service, and a very reasonable price point. The Beech Tree is consistently good too - we had the same excellent experience when we visited a couple years ago.

Super high quality food at a reasonable price. Great experience!

Excellent experience all around.

Fabulous food, great attention to detail. The Kale salad is delicious. The fish dish and beef was also outstanding. Great atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. I was there once this week with friends and am going back on Sunday with my husband.

Best in the Beach hands down and our favourite date night! Great ambience, great service. Menu can be perceived as small but includes a wide enough variety to suit everyone in the group, is updated regularly with fantastic features and NEVER disappoints! Wonderful cocktail list and we rarely skip the opportunity for one of their desserts (fourless chocolate cake is a staple and is to die for).

Amazing local restaurant. Intimate setting, busy, great menu and really attentive staff. The owner takes a real interest in your experience and the food is fabulous

Had a very nice meal here as part of winterliscious. Thank you

A gem of a restaurant! Menu selection for winterlicious was diverse and deliciouse. Highly recommend this place for a great experience!

The food and drinks were really nice-- gourmet, experimental-style offerings that well exceeded our expectations. Its not a large place, and the tables arent very secluded, but this is part of the appealing atmosphere. Were very happy to have discovered such a great place in this part (our part) of the city.

Amazing food and drinks! Top notch service!

Ordered takeout last week. The folks at Beech Tree delivered to our doorstep (were lucky enough to live around the corner). The meal was amazing and the service was incredible. Highly recommended!

Always great good and service

Best food ever

Creative local spot in the beaches with fresh menu and an intimate vibe.

Enjoyed a delious surloin steak. Very attentive, a neighhood gem!

On steak order, we could choose medium only

I was here for winterlicious. The food was great. The staff is wonderful. The interior is very honey and cozy. This is a great neighborhood place for excellent food.

The Beech Tree is consistently excellent in terms of food and service. Its a restaurant thats versatile, offering an atmosphere that can be casual, formal, romantic, cozy, affordable, or luxurious, depending on what you want! The gnocchi is a particular favourite of mine, but the entire menu is delicious, and the servers are friendly and gracious. In my opinion, this is the best dining experience in the Beaches!

Unique menu, very enjoyable

Always excellent service ..cook (jamie) is outstanding , cozy quiet and fun

Fantastic dinner! Great atmosphere and lovely service. We had appetizers, dinner and wine which were all great - definitely a burger and fries we will be back to enjoy again.

What an amazing experience! Food was outstanding. Could have had a second plate although not really needed. It was just that good. Service impeccable. Worth the drive from Burlington! We will be back soon!

Best restaurant in the east end. Amazing service!

Really accommodating owner and staff...they will make sure you have a great evening.

Service and food was amazing. We got three of the more app style, and a main. The brussel sprouts were cooked perfectly, and we devoured the trout belly. I had the duck and it was one of the most interesting duck dishes Ive had. Wanted to try all their cocktails but the two I settled on were spot on.

Fantastic restaurant and bar in the beaches. The owner waits on tables and makes sure the service is excellent. Will def be back.

Very tasty food. Nice portions and reasonable prices for the quality.

Delicious. Fabulous service and great vibes. The albacore tuna was amazing and the mushrooms are heavenly

Like Tina Turner said... simply the best! Great food, great staff, great atmosphere. Have never been disappointed in all the years Ive been going here. Best in The BEACH!

Great fresh food

Were regulars and love this place. So intimate, such great food , and its really reasonable for the quality of good

This is a great local spot, I hate to let the secret out, the meat and cheese plate is a must, great mains like the burger and the jerk spiced short rib (no knife required), good craft beer options, friendly and helpful staff

Great brunch - chicken schnitzel was delicious

This place lived up to the hype! Definitely the nicest date spot in Kingston Road village. Great ambience, service and the food was amazing. Soup was a fish chowder. I had the pork shoulder and my wife had the burger (which she said was epic). We will for sure go back.

Havent been for a little while but this is a great local place and although in the Upper Beach (Kingston Road) better than any down on Queen in the Beach proper. There are three restaurants in Toronto east of Greenwood worth eating at- Lake Inez on Gerrard, Morgans on Danforth and certainly the Beach Tree on Kingston.

Little hidden gem in the upper Beaches. I cant say enough about how good the food is. Great atmosphere, kid friendly and delicious. If you are looking for a nice night out... You wont be disappointed. Ask for Helder.

We had the burgers. They were very good! Staff pleasant and knowledgeable. Wine list needs a lot of work, especially the white.

The burger is by far the best meal for the value and absolutely delicious. Most of the ither meals are a very small portion yet expensive although very tasty. I used to come here a lot for cocktails as they were amazing. But now I think either there is a new owner or new bar tender and the drinks are still good but not AS good .

The Beech Tree is the best food in Toronto matched with incredible service. My husband and I went to the Beech Tree for a three course Valentines Day meal. Each course was presented beautifully and the taste was indescribably delicious. Despite the restaurant being extremely busy, our server provided exceptional service and made sure we never had to wait for anything. The washroom is outdated. However, everything else was perfect. It is the best restaurant in Toronto.

Cozy dining spot in the upper beaches. Always excellent food with a rotating seasonal menu. Delicious cocktails as well.

The food was awesome and innovative when my wife and I were last there over 2 years ago. The menu is small but changes often. It is pricey food but worth the cost if you like fancy fare. This may have changed but if it is the same reservations are required and its worth a visit.

Love it

Good menu and not too pricey. Best to order the appetizers and share.

Food is delicious and presentation of the food is 5 star!

Went here for Summerlicious and we were blown away by the delicious food! The Beech Tree serves up apps, mains and desserts that are sure to impress.

Good food, drinks and service. Unbeknownst to us we turned up when it was Summerlicious but we enjoyed both the fixed menu and the al a carte charcuterie plate we shared as an appetizer. Would definitely dine here again.

Great food, great music. Highly recommended.

I visited with a largish family group that included an infant and a minor last Saturday evening. Our server was pleasant and very patient. The food was delicious. Everyone at our table was pleased with their order. I had the special fish and chips it was amazing. The batter was light, the tartar sauce was tangy, and the cucumber salad was incredible. Great atmosphere. I would recommend.

Great drinks and the food was spectacular! A hidden Jem!

We love the Beech Tree.. its our go-to neighbourhood restaurant. The burger never disappoints!

Always delicious and great service! A neighbourhood gem!

The food is amazing and the staff are great I have never had a bad experience there

Went there for Summerlicious and our mind was blown away by how good the food was. This place is a gem. Great selection of cocktails and beers on tap, and friendly service. Fine dining without pretentiousness.

Great brunch! We have been here several times and highly recommend it.

My boyfriend and I discovered their restaurant one morning and loved the scones! We went back for dinner the same night for a prefixed menu and it was devine! The atmosphere, friendly faces and food was excellent! We go back every sunday for a scone!

Excellent upper-beaches dining experience - great spot to take a date for a drink.

Food far exceeded expectations

Everything about this restaurant deserves 5 stars. The service is impeccable, the menu rotates to keep you coming back for more and the food is life changing. You can always tell when there is love put into your dish. This is my favourite place in Toronto!

Very cozy place. Delicious brunch on Sundays.

Love this place. Never disappointed with either the food flavours or choices. Limited menu that changes seasonally and always delicious.

Great brunch, relaxed atmosphere, good prices

Awesome Staff

A gem in the neighbourhood. Fantastic menu that changes seasonally and is very reasonably priced for the quality. Friendly service and nice atmosphere.

Friendly. Pleasant atmosphere. Great menu for grownups and children.

Great brunch on Sundays

Absolutely love this restaurant. I have been here for dinner a couple of times and just held my daughters christening celebration here (35ppl). The staff is fantastic! The food is fantastic! Gorgeous atmosphere. Just, FANTASTIC! Im so pleased.

Great seasonal menu, friendly staff.

If youre looking for a unique dining experience, be sure to put this fantastic restaurant on your list. You wont be disappointed.

Just had dinner at The Beech Tree. It was excellent. The asparagus appetizer is delicious. Great mains - amazing trout special and great beef brisket. The best part was the dessert. I am a flourless chocolate cake lover and the Beech Trees offering is the BEST Ive had! Yun!

a rare gem. unique and satisfying dishes. beautiful presentation. enjoyed the calamari with pork cheek. burger is delicious! we felt quite at home there. nothing pretentious.

Great little restaurant! Can go for a glass of wine and cheese plate, or a full meal. Food and drink menus are not extensive, but a great selection!

Good food & cocktails - pleasant atmosphere - good service

Fast service and excellent fare! Great on tap and cocktail selections. Owner Helder Cabral is a gem who is a seasoned pro in the business and will guarantee a fine experience. Chef Newman is a cutting edge professional dedicated to the culinary art who is always perfecting and inventing dishes. Make a reso to ensure a seat and try the whole menu over a number of visits. Also visit Helders other place The Porch Light a few doors east to complete a duo of excellent taste experiences in the beach!

Excellent! Attentive service, great recommendations, and the food was delightful to boot. Went for Summerlicious, love going to the smaller fringe restaurants as the service and food is often better than the more well-known joints (who seem to have the attitude that whether they try or not theyll have huge lineups and waitlists). Well definitely be back outside of the promotion periods!

Phenomenal, if you havent been you have to go. Each dish, whether a special or menu regular, is truly excellent. A cozy place on Kingston road under promises and over delivers every time. Brunch or dinner, you wont be disappointed. My wife and I take any opportunity to dine with friends or family here, including tonight. Top notch, I cant say enough.

Nice restaurant in the Upper Beaches! Good service, and the food has always been above par on the 2 or 3 trips I have made here. Great to have this spot in the neighborhood

Good but portions are small

Great food and atmosphere.

Amazingly creative place. Exquisite food. They made a special vegan meal for me on request.

Nice neighbourhood atmosphere, though a small menu wonderful food and not too noisy.

Lovely restaurant, excellent food with seasonal nenues.

Great meal, nice ambience

Excellent menu and a great date place with reasonable prices. Atmosphere is intimate and the food delicious.

Great foods, drinks and staff we enjoy this place. We will definitely be back

Loved their brunch. Went with a friend on a Saturday...great cocktails, good food, fantastic service. Would go again in heartbeat.

Incredible restaurant. Probably the best place to eat east of the DVP. Would easily compete with most joints in the west end too. Try the burger, you wont regret it.

This is my favourite restaurant in the Beach! The food is absolutely delicious! The cocktails are wonderful and the service is excellent.

Great little spot. Food is always amazing.
