Olde Yorke Fish & Chips ~ 96 Laird Dr ~ (416) 696-9670

Happy Canada Day, y’all.

Olde Yorke Fish & Chips is a place that needs little introduction.  A Leaside institution, they’ve been doing one thing really, really well for the past 25+ years.

Our first job back in the day was at Penrose, so we have somewhat of a discerning taste when it comes to Britain’s finest fare.  A bit of street cred’ (if we do say so ourselves).  For us, Olde Yorke checks all the boxes (and then some).

The interior has got Coronation Street vibes, fashioned with checkered carpeting and sleepy booth seating.  Families adorn these tables, and there’s oft a line-up of regulars waiting patiently for their takeaway.

The menu is exactly as advertised… pick your fish (halibut for us), fresh-cut fries, coleslaw, tartar sauce and a side of mushy peas (upon request).  The servings are generous; the hospitality friendly; Pints can be pulled; and the dining room is always bustling from open ’til close.

We’re creatures of habit, and Olde York is about as consistent as they come.  If you’re reading this, you likely know exactly what we’re talking about.  If you happen to be visiting the 6ix, we’d definitely recommend trekking off the beaten path to sample the best Fish & Chips in town.

Maybe take my supper, eat it down by the sea”

    Absolutely the BEST Fish & Chips in Toronto. I am an ex-pat from London and Olde Yorke REALLY impressed me.
