The Olde Yorke

Absolutely loved this spot! The fish was perfectly crispy, not oily at all, and tasted super fresh, cooked just right. The clam chowder was incredibly rich and flavourful, truly a standout dish. Portion sizes were generous but not too much, which made the whole meal feel just right. The atmosphere was cozy and relaxed, and the staff were genuinely kind and personable, which really added to the whole experience. Definitely a place I’d come back to for comforting, quality food done right!

This really feels like one of the few authentic fish and chips spots in Toronto. The freshly fried fish was absolutely top-notch — super crispy and full of flavor. I ordered mine with a salad instead of fries, and personally, I found it much lighter and even more enjoyable that way. The crispiness was seriously next level!

Came here with my family, absolutely love the food here. I recommend the Halibut, it is really delicious and I love the Cod and haddock as well. The quality has been consistent for2 decades and is the best fish and chips in Toronto by far. The take out is fast and always has great service. The environment when you dine in feels intimate, cozy and always has 10/10 service. The decor and lighting is nice as well and the bar has a great feel to it.

Certainly a well oiled machine, this restaurant is! Staff all seemed competent and hard working. It was actually a bit entertaining to watch all the commotion (busy Friday evening; nice weather out). Bravo! As a first time patron, the differentiation between takeout and main entrance wasn’t so clear, but no biggie. The signage that the accessible entrance was “only for wheelchairs” was a bit more bothersome. But honestly not a huge deal. Some folks (especially elderly) can walk fine but have a hard time managing stairs…that’s all. Again, not a major point of pain; just an observation. Food was good. No complaints. Well prepared and plated. Perfectly acceptable portions. Might I say even too large of a piece of key lime pie. 100% should and could be shared. Pricing on the little printed cards at the hostess stand compared to the ones on the menu at the table were less for every item a bit is seemed. Maybe that’s a take-out vs. dine-in thing? I don’t run a restaurant or pay attention to these details typically, so perhaps that’s standard? Just caught off guard a bit as these were available to read while waiting for a table. And this was NOT at the take out only entrance I had mistaken for earlier. I live about 15km away and have always wanted to try this place. While the food wasn’t spectacular enough for me to make the extra effort to rush back; ultimately comparing to equally prepared fish & chips shops in my neighbourhood — I do love that Leaside has this place as an authentic option and enjoyed the visit/meal.

The best fish & chips that I ever had. It is so delicious, the crunchiness is so good!!! We also had the fish tacos with avocado sauce and the lemon pie. Everything was delicious and well served. Also, the service is very nice and friendly. Highly recommend this place.
