LOCAL Public Eatery Leaside

The service and the drinks were really good!

However, as for me it was very noisy. Also, the coleslaw was a real bummer, it did not taste fresh, on the contrary, it tasted sour, but like bad sour, as if it was about to go bad. And apparently it was mixed together with the fresh batch. Did not feel good after that.

I attended my fiancé’s work gathering and the food was amazing!

I would return to watch a UFC fight or something for sure!

I had the following:

NACHOS
PINCHE BEEF TACOS
CHEESE PIROGIES
LOCAL FRIED CHICKEN [LFC]
AHI TUNA POKE RICE BOWL

I also tried the steak, it was alright, but I’m just normally not a fan of steak! So not the restaurant, just me!

I tried veggie food from the menu and found it well prepared. Staff are young, experienced, fast, and friendly. There are some limited halal options that I did not try. We set to dine in the second floor. The atmosphere is nice with natural light. Since I was a guest of an event here, I cannot comment on pricing, but my guess is that prices are above average. Need to mention washroom is in the below ground floor, which makes it difficult for elderly or people with mobility issue go there. I found this place, photography friendly, but for sure, the event's gathering gave me extra freedom to take more pictures. If I did not have a challenge for parking, I would rate here 5-star.

I’ve been coming to Local Leaside since they opened. Love this location because it’s personal and intimate compared to the downtown location. The food is incredible and the servers are the friendliest.

Shoutout to the manager Evelyn for taking care of my friends and I.

Located in a charming renovated old building this location gives some extra character to the neighbourhood. We went the other day for lunch and we had great service. The food came in a timely manner and the waiter who attended us was very sweet. We order a veggie burger and some eggs Benedict. Both were very good. Apart of the cocktails we got some complementary tea that I totally want to order next time I visiting.

Wow, wow, wow! This was hands down one of the best restaurant experiences we've ever had in Toronto. Everything was perfect from start to finish, from the food, to the service to the atmosphere itself.

When we walked in, we were greeted by Kat, who let us try their Aperol Spritz cocktails. They were so tasty and she was so friendly with us right from the bat!

We then sat down and were waited on by Sushi, who was probably one of the nicest and best servers we've ever had. She recommended dishes to us, was prompt and friendly the whole time and it was just such a great experience.

We started with the shrimp dumplings and they were literally unreal. Bursting with flavour and cooked to perfection, they tasted amazing and we could have ordered loads of them! We then all tried the crispy chicken sandwich, ahi tuna bowl and chicken curry bowl between us and oh my gosh, everything was delicious.

We couldn't have had a better experience and can't wait to go back! Thank you so much!! :)
