Allen's

We were on a waitlist for a restaurant down the road and since it was cold we decided to pop into Allen’s for a drink while we wait . So glad we did . We looked at the menu and I saw the special was ahí tuna , so I was sold! We asked if they had a table and even though it was packed they accommodated us. Granted it was in a corner in front of the kitchen , but that’s fine with us . I loved the wine they suggested and as I had hoped the ahí was delish. My husband loves traditional pub food so that’s what he ordered and loved it. Great spot for a casual meal with high end service .

I came for dinner alone prior to a show at Danforth. The environment is warm and inviting. A true supper club and a lost art. Allen’s has managed to combine Irish Pub culture with fine dining, while not leaving you desiring anything from either. A perfect combination. The interior is beautiful. The service is perfect.It was full, rustling and bustling with a late night environment, at only 6pm. My beer was crisp and delicious, my lamb chops and champ felt like Irish perfection. Thank you for a wonderful night Allen’s!

I had always been wanting to come here - after learning legendary Canadian band - Lunch at Allen's was named after it. Finally, after 20 plus years I made a visit and it did not disappoint. The Maitre D - Karl - was fantastic. So helpful and kind. Despite it being a very busy Saturday night, he incredibly was able to get us a table of 4. The menu had a nice variety of items and I opted for the liver which was delicious. My friend, who use to frequent this restaurant many years ago - had the Black bean soup and he remarked it was as fantastic today as it was many years ago. Deb our server was great too - very attentive and accommodating with the concern we had over a food allergy. I highly recommend this establishment - it will not disappoint.

Stopped in for a bite before a concert at the Danforth. Had the burger, daughter had the chowder, both top notch! In fact, I’m a bit of a burger snob and the burger at Allen’s was top 5! Tasted like someone ground a beef tenderloin and put it on a bun…soooo good. Staff friendly and attentive even with them being extremely busy. Would recommend to anyone in the area to check out.

4.4. A classic spot filled with regulars. Atmosphere is great- especially the patio in the summer- expect to wait. We got a drink at the bar-good list, not a big assortment of zero proof to choose from. The burger was a hit- made to order, you can get cooked any way you like. The beef stew honestly was a bit lackluster but perhaps it was an off day. Service was good, atmosphere, as mentioned, was great.

Attended their steak fest this year and we could not be any happier with the quality of the steak and the cook to perfection. We did the find the appetizers to be a little underwhelming especially the Patata’s. The service was great ! But it did feel really cramped in the dining area. Would say the steak (strip loin) and the dessert (bread pudding) were fantastic.
