I feel like I've been here several times, as it is a very popular work gathering place in the hospital district of Toronto. They host many parties, large group socials, and corporate events. My most recent visit here was on the patio during some warmer weather as there was a corporate event inside. Our server was well-versed in handling larger groups and kept us up-to-date as we waited for our food in light of the larger event. I had the chicken pot pie, which was decent with a crispy flaky top. I wish that there were more chunks of chicken in the pie, but the seasonings were good. I would recommend if you are looking for a corporate event for space or for larger groups read more

Decent environment. Our group went there on a Saturday afternoon and there's a semi-private area with plenty of electrical outlets by the window. Staff was nice and friendly, frequently checking on us. Food was bland. I had fish and chips. Aside from the green peas, the food was forgettable. The skin on the fish wasn't crispy. Fries were lukewarm (I had McDonald's fries that were hotter than this) and the tartar sauce was boring. Washroom is downstairs and not wheelchair accessible. read more

Meh. It's fine. "Best fish and chips in the city" ? No. Server was friendly and lots of patio space is a plus for drinks and a quick meal after work. read more

Duke Of Cornwall - Regular size - Pubs Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I came here mid afternoon so it wasn't very busy. We got seated in an area near the back by ourselves. Service was super friendly and the staff made an effort to really make you feel welcome. We also were checked on several times. My husband ordered the pub size fish and chips and I ordered the chicken pot pie. We shared and I enjoyed both. The fish was quite large and it wasn't overwhelmed by batter. The fries were tasty too. I also enjoyed the chicken pot pie. The crust was light and flaky. The filling tasted good too. This pub has a nice and relaxing atmosphere, friendly wait staff and good food. read more

My third visit and this place is great. We sat at the bar and I enjoyed a pint of Duke, their own beer, with the classic burger. This was excellent with crispy fries and a perfectly cooked patty and the special sauce. My partner had salad, turkey sandwich, and a very pleasant soup. Both quantity and quantity were en point. The staff were professional and friendly and helped brighten a very wet and gloomy January lunchtime. Duke of Cornwall is popular with the local businesses and tourists alike. It's worth seeking out. read more

I just popped in for a quick beer and bite while in the area. The fish and chips was good nothing fantastic, I did like the peas included. Service was alright Average read more

Gord and I had supper this evening at the Duke of Cornwall. Gord order three Basket Bites ... Crispy Dry Ribs, Chris Brothers' Pepperoni and Popcorn Shrimp. He liked them all and would get them again. I ordered a pound of wings with medium sauce with ranch sauce on the side. They are a bit pricy for the pound and they were good. I'd get them again. Katyanna was our server and she took good care of me. read more

I came with a two for one coupon for brunch. We got the vegetarian platter (baked beans, two eggs any style, pineapple, hash browns, one Portobello mushroom, toast and jam) and the eggs Benedict (with pineapple and hash browns). The breakfast was very standard and extremely worth it with the coupon, but otherwise not unique or delicious enough for me to return for brunch. The staff and manager were very friendly. This would be a good place for a beer on their patio and share some snacks with friends. read more

I had lunch here today with my friends and ordered the Grilled Salmon with Fettuccine Alfredo. The server first told me they ran out of Salmon. Then she came back and said, she misheard and they do have salmon but no pasta. How does a restaurant run out of pasta? She asked if I wanted to order something else with the Salmon so, I ordered sweet potato fries (which I know is a weird combination). When the dishes started to arrive at our table, my friend who had ordered the Chicken Schnitzel with Mushroom Cream Sauce over FETTUCCINE noodles, received her dish!?! But I received a side plate of sweet potato fries and then 5 mins later received another side plate of overcooked and underseasoned salmon! I asked the server, how is it they are out of pasta, yet my friend received her pasta dish? She agreed it didn't make sense and went back to check with the kitchen. Turns out, they ran out of the pumpkin pesto sauce! So she brought me another side side of pasta with the mushroom cream sauce! So big miscommunication resulting in the worst dining experience I've had here. Instead of receiving 1 complete meal, I ended up with 3 side plates! I'm not sure I'll be coming back to this place for another meal... read more

What a pathetic place. This place is in my office premises and I had been going there quite often last year. Food is passé however it saves time between meetings so I frequented the place. Not single dish stands out. Pathetic chicken pot pie, the bombay burger made me sick for a week, it's lathered in disgusting oil. I went there recently, they put me in the far corner left booth. I had been on back to back calls and have had no breakfast, so went in for lunch at around 1:30 pm when I was finally free. I waited 20 minutes by the watch for someone to come and take an order. If you don't have staff then please CLOSE DOWN THE PLACE!!! After which I walked to the other side and the bar. Only 1 staff, rear were busy at the back chatting. I was feeling nauseated with hunger and had to attend another meeting so I just walked out. Seriously avoiding the place. Both service and food is terrible so better go hungry than visit this place. read more

Too bad yelp can't let users give restaurants 0 stars. This establishment is lucky. Went here for lunch with coworkers and ordered the "famous curry" - seafood. If this is what made them famous....I'm not sure if I have belief in humanity anymore. The curry of was the most flavour less garbage I have ever tasted. They specify that it is a coconut/pineapple based.. I know my curries, and this had neither. It was almost like water mixed with turmeric add coconut flakes. Disgusting. Not appetizing at all please do not try this dish. Another coworker got their pizza, in house. Completely undercooked. Breading was still soggy and not crispy at all. Again, flavour less. Frozen pizza from no frills is better, one thousand percent. Coworker finished half the pizza and couldn't eat anymore. That's how bad it was. For the prices your charging, completely unacceptable. Flavour less, portions were lack luster, and there's nothing that would bring me back other than the fact that they served ice cold water. God bless as I needed to rinse my mouth. I usually enjoy my food to some extent but I've never been this disappointed ever. Wish I could have gotten a refund to be honest because I rather spend it on a hot dog for a fraction of the price with alot more umami that let's you enjoy your food. Spend your money elsewhere. Trust me. Oh yeah, it was my birthday. I usually fill myself up with yummy food on today, but thanks Duke of Cornwall for ruining it. In 29 years, I can finally say I found the worse place to dine. read more

The best chicken curry in the area. The ambiance was perfect, and also would like to mention the staff; they were great.

Poor service... had to wait 20mins to be seen.. place was not even busy nor full house... terribleeee

Duke of Cornwall is located in a very good place, and includes both inside and patio dining. The staff or polite and the burger is decent. The dessert was also high quality ice cream. Also the washrooms have a funny and classic theme. I do suggest this place! read more

We recently saw that this place had opened on Wednesday and contacted the GM, Spiros asking if he could accommodate a group of about 30 people. Without hesitation, he showed us a section in the restaurant which he had reserved for us the next day. First off, this pub looks fantastic and has a comfortable feel but yet looks tasteful decorated and modern. The beer taps at the bar have this really cool contraption that has them attached to the ceiling rather than down at the bar ....go check it out. It's really neat. While the drinks are priced at a 'premium' rate, the food and service were EXCELLENT. This isn't a pretentious place by any means, the staff is friendly, professional and quite accommodating. I tried the calamari, wings, popcorn shrimp and some fries. A friend who had the Duke burger said it was good. I think the only thing that was 'ok' and not really worth getting was the dry short ribs. Other than that, we were really happy with this place! Definitely going back again! read more

Bad service. Very inappropriate staff. Customer service didn't even answer my formal complaint. Treated shamefully. Won't go back. Advised others not to go there. read more

A much needed pub in this neck of the woods. They just opened last week, and so far so good. Glad to finally see the COMING SOON sign off as it's been under construction for the last while. Staff was super friendly, and the menu is fairly traditional pub fare. Got the meatloaf, which I'm not sure when the last time I've ordered one from a restaurant. It was good, and nicely restaurantified (c). Will be back to check out the rest of their menu. read more

The fish and chips I was dissatisfied with they charged me for Traditional which is a large and they gave me a small. 5 people on my table ordered the same thing and they all got double size of fish. When we complained to the waitress she goes oh it is done by weight there is no way my piece of fish was the size of the other fish. Also our waitress gave terrible service it took her 20 mins to come by and not once did she come ask if we wanted refills for drinks or asked how was our meal. The only time she came by was to ask our order and if we wanted the bill. We are all nurses who work the same unit and it was a tiring shift. DEFINITELY WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE. FIND ANOTHER PLACE IN THE AREA THERE ARE LOTS. read more

Would come here only if I worked in the building. No daily specials, no cheap drinks, no entertainment, no live music? 2 star food? I wanted this place to do well, I really did. But there's just no incentive to come here-and I'm a local too! Look, there's Village Idiot and Sin and Redemption (wicked and perhaps over 50+ types of beers), there's Queen Mother (Ping Gai OMG!), all those pubs along John Street (Office Pub, Town Crier, even JackAsters for Chris sake!). Why should I come here? Sorry but it's true. Tried it once and will probably never again. Come on, zero specials? No wonder this place is DEAD on a Saturday night...Begging people to come in on St Patrick's Day with their flags. Yikes, I give this place no more than a year. Here's a tip for management, lower your prices, make better food, and get some live music. Good luck! read more

Having seen the construction of this new pub for months, I was super excited to have a new local for an after work drink or quick bite to eat. I dropped by on their second day with some friends, and we were promptly seated by the host. The tables are spacious and there are lots of TVs, great during game night. The food menu was extensive and I ordered some wings and fries. My friends ordered from the sharing menu (dry ribs, mini burger and calamari). The food arrived quickly and was reasonably good for pub food, but definitely nothing to write home about. I was a little disappointed to see that there were no food or drink special offers, such as you would expect to see in a chain pub. If this was the case I would happily drop by on a frequent basis, but for now it's a little on the expensive side if I'm honest. Hopefully they will refine their pricing over time and offer food/drink specials to entice customers. read more

After two visits to the Duke of Cornwall, my impression of the bar is good pub drinks but mediocre service. Although the bar recently opened, servers took a while to come to our group to take orders and took even longer to serve us. Nonetheless, the venue is nice and new with space for large groups. Great location with a nice patio facing University Ave as well! read more

Busy and loud atmosphere. Well it is a pub, so expects that. Good place to watch a sports game. Conveniently located at Dundas and University and steps away from St.Patrick subway station. read more

Hi Emily, Thank you all at the Duke of Cornwall pub, and the management of the Duke organization, for hosting the Toronto Cornish Association on Tuesday, 5th of March this week. Our attending members had a terrific time and very much appreciate your dedication rooms to the Duchy of Cornwall - St Ives Room, Crantock Corner, and the Flag of Cornwall banquet seating area. Fabulous! We are going to visit as often as possible to enjoy your great food, superb bar, and the warm welcome from the staff. sincerely, James Dagg President, Toronto Cornish Association Our members say: "A magnificent venue, the Duke of Cornwall, for the Toronto Cornish Association to honour St Piran and Cornwall !! Our hearty singing of Trelawny warmed the pub as the pub warmly welcome our group. Our thanks go out to Spiros and the Duke of Cornwall staff, and our many thanks to the Owners of the Duke chain. The pasty platters were terrific." 'A big shout-out to the Duke of Cornwall for hosting the Cornish diaspora in Toronto following the raising of the Cornish National flag at City Hall on St Piran's Day. What a welcoming reception we received. With many thanks from the Toronto Cornish Association.' read more

Nice pub fare, good attentive service by Kylene. Would return and recommend for a Sunday night while watching a Raptors game.

Great Fish and Chips. Wide selection of beer and wine. I found all the staff very friendly and accommodating (I showed up with my 4-month-old - no problem). Really clean and new. This had a very friendly atmosphere and the other customers seemed to resonate the same vibe. The staff has probably the most smiles of any place I've been in Toronto. read more

I've been to this pub at least 10 times, for lunch and various evening events, always receiving great service and delicious food! Sometimes when it's crowded the servers seem overwhelmed, but I see they make their best effort to greet customers with a smile and bring the food & drinks quickly. read more

Waited two hours for one drink (was in a large party, reserved on the patio). Altered the staff several times to no avail. Will not return.

I have been at the Duke of Cornwall on University many times and keep coming back because of the warm atmosphere, great food and kind attention. Spiros is a great Manager and outstanding host who truly cares about his customers and always makes you feel like home! My favorite food must be the chicken wings :) truly the best in town! read more

Went here for dinner with some friends. Average place. They have a decent amount of outdoor seating but it's kind of in a wind tunnel so beware of flying napkins. I ordered the shepherds pie. As a carrot hater I feel obligated to point out that they put carrots in the dish despite carrots not being listed in the description on the menu. The shepherds pie is also deconstructed. The peas are separate from the mashed potatoes and meat. There's also a side of beans. It was a bit pricey for what I got. Overall, a pretty average place to get a drink and a bite to eat. read more

This place has rlly good fish and chips. Would recommend! Also the people working here are really nice.

Been here twice already. Once for dinner and once for drinks. For dinner I had the beef pie. Was delicious. Would have it again. I asked for extra gravy for the pudding and it was delicious. For drinks, the service wasn't as great as dinner service. I had asked for a virgin cocktail but they gave me alcohol instead. Waitress was also not as attentive. Would love to see a yelp check in special. Hoping this place sticks around. Food looks great. Will likely be in tonight for the raptors game. read more

I will never ever be returning to this establishment. My family and friends went to Duke of Cornwall after the Santa Clause parade to avoid the huge crowds on the subway and it was directly across the street from where we were standing. The restaurant was not busy at all so for the mistake to happen was completely uncalled for. We had ordered 2 chicken finger meals for our children and after my child eating one we realized that they were completely raw. I'm not talking just a little pink, I'm talking COMPLETELY raw. I will say that the manager and GM felt extremely bad and compt our food but I didn't feel right not letting people know about this. It is already bad enough that we were served raw chicken but it was served to our children. If you insist on going and ordering the chicken fingers, please check them first. I am now having to keep a close eye on my son in case he shows any signs of food poisoning or salmonella poisoning. Very very disappointment as this is a human error and could have easily been avoided just by checking the temperature. read more

Came across this pub by chance and it turned out out to be our lucky day. The restaurant is cleaned! The service was friendly and the food was to die for. read more

I work in the area and we were all thrilled to see a local pub open. The decor is great, the staff are wonderful, and both times I've been, the food has been fantastic. The first visit, I had shepherd's pie. It was delicious. Second time I had the 'Innovation Burger', which was fabulous. I've heard the the same about the fish'n chips and the guacamole burger. The manager came over to check on us as well. I have only one small issue. It's 2018 and this is not a Hooters. Why do the servers have to wear these tiny little short skirts, particularly in the middle of winter? What's wrong with black pants, or longer skirts, or a tartan skirt of normal length. Are we not over this yet? So I sent them an email on their 'contact us' section, and they responded right away. I was told that they are looking into more options and that staff does have a choice. I was glad to hear this and impressed with their speedy response. read more
