Upper Beaches Dining at its Best
Ever taken a walk through the Upper Beaches? Off the beaten path for the Bay Street crowd, the stretch of Kingston Road between Woodbine and Victoria Park (accessible via the 502 Streetcar) is home to a growing group of businesses who pride themselves on shopping and dining locally. Next time you’re taking a stroll in the Beach proper, walk north from Queen St. Once you reach the top of the massive hill, you’ll have inevitably worked-up quite an appetite (and thirst). Kingston Road has a number of pubs and restaurants that will hit the spot.
King’s Diner (906 Kingston Rd) is a family restaurant that’s been on the strip for ages. Their home cooking is stick-to-your-ribs kinda stuff, and it seems like their pricing is stuck in a time warp. Grab a Soup & Sandwich for only $5.95.
Walking into The Feathers Pub (962 Kingston Rd), it feels like you’re on Coronation Street rather than Kingston Road. Wednesday is Rib/Wing night, with half-racks of ribs or pounds of wings are on offer for $8.95. They also have $1 off selected Pints each day of the week.
No Bull Burgers has opened up their second location in the Upper Beaches (1019 Kingston Rd; co-lo @ 179 Parliament St) bringing the gourmet burger craze to the hood. A full review of what’s on offer can be found here: http://torontofoodblog.com/2012/04/29/no-bull-burgers/
The Americana Hot Dog Co. (1036 Kingston Rd) also recently-opened and is super kid-friendly. Their Smokin’ Hot Dog (jalapeños, lettuce, onions & hot sauce) is $6 very well spent.
