The Berczy Tavern

What is The Berczy Tavern? The Berczy Tavern is a sophisticated New Canadian bistro and live piano bar located at 69 Front Street East in Toronto's historic St. Lawrence and Old Town neighborhood. Overlooking the iconic Berczy Park dog fountain and the Gooderham Flatiron building, it blends old-world European tavern elegance with in-house whole-animal butchery, seasonal Ontario produce, and nightly live piano music.

The Berczy Tavern Menu & What to Order Helmed by Executive Chef Michael Angeloni, the kitchen takes pride in scratch cooking and whole-animal cuts. The Dry-Aged Butcher Steak Frites—featuring a prime cut seared to perfection with house maitre d' butter and crisp fries—is a centerpiece entree. Pasta lovers adore the Handmade Ricotta Ravioli tossed with brown butter, toasted hazelnuts, and sage, while seafood aficionados choose the Charred Spanish Octopus with romesco sauce. Save room for the tavern's signature Basque Burnt Cheesecake with seasonal fruit compote.
