Scotland Yard Pub

9.2
Pub Fare · St. Lawrence Market · $$

This is built for groups better than many narrow downtown dining rooms. The official reservation path handles normal bookings, while the large-party language covers bigger parties, and the menu has enough wings, burgers, stew, poutine, and pub mains to keep a mixed group easy.

3

Amsterdam Brewhouse

8.8
Craft Brewery · Harbourfront · $$

Big bookings, beer flights, barbecue towers, wings, pizza, and sandwiches make group meals easy here, especially when everyone wants a different kind of pub order.

4

Chat Bar

8.9
Chinese · Chinatown (Spadina) · $$

Skewers, wings, oysters, and bowls arrive in formats that make sharing straightforward. Reservations, long hours, and the chuan'r format help larger parties shape a meal without forcing every diner into a separate entrée.

5

WVRST

9.1
Craft Beer Bar · King West · $$

The place makes the most sense with a group: communal seating, sausage comparisons, fries, pretzels, fondue for two to four, and beer-friendly pacing all support an easy shared meal.

6

Lao Lao Bar

8.8
Laotian · Church-Wellesley Village · $$

Groups have several practical ways to build the meal. Small plates, salads, curries, noodles and grilled dishes arrive in a sequence that supports sharing, while reservations make a fixed gathering easier to plan. The broad menu also gives meat-eaters and plant-based diners room to order together.

7

Yakiniku Legend

9.2
Japanese · Entertainment District

The all-you-can-eat structure, built-in grills, sushi lane, rice and noodle options, and dessert finish help mixed groups build one meal without forcing everyone into the same order.

8

Fortune King Hotpot

8.9
Chinese · Kensington Market · $$

Skewers, seafood plates, noodles, and soup make it easy to build a meal for several people without forcing everyone into the same dish. The restaurant also invites diners to call about large groups and same-day bookings.

9

El Catrin Destileria

8.7
Mexican · Distillery District · $$$

El Catrin works well for groups because diners can start with guacamole and queso, split tacos and tostadas, then add one richer plate like short rib or braised pork. The ordering pattern keeps mixed tastes from becoming complicated.

10

Left Field Brewery (Liberty Village)

8.4
Craft Brewery · Liberty Village · $$

Groups get a large, reservable, screen-heavy room built around shareable brewery food. Team-sized menu items, beer flights, and private-event booking make it easy to plan game nights, office outings, or birthdays without turning dinner into a separate stop.

11

Left Field Brewery (Leslieville)

8.9
Craft Brewery · Leslieville

Semi-private bookings, community-group use, and BYO-food flexibility make the room easy to plan around.

Mill Street Brewpub

8.6
Brewpub · Distillery District · $$

The room handles large gatherings, while wings, nachos, pretzels and pizza create a natural sharing plan. Reservations and substantial event capacity make the brewpub useful when keeping a party together matters as much as the individual order.

13

Kintaro Izakaya

8.7
Japanese · Church-Wellesley Village · $$

The broad small-plate menu gives friends an easy rhythm: share eggplant, fried dishes, tataki, and skewers before anyone chooses a larger bowl. Online reservations make that multi-round plan more practical when everyone is not arriving on a whim.

14

Soos

8.4
Malaysian · Ossington Strip · $$

Soos is built for a shared dinner. The Feed Me format gives groups a clear path through the savoury menu, while the reservation path and private dining room make the restaurant easier to plan than a smaller walk-in-only room.

15

Mezes

8.4
Greek · Greektown (The Danforth) · $$

The best Mezes order is a group spread. Dips, saganaki, kalamari, grilled octopus, shrimp, salads, and larger Greek dinners give groups enough range to pass plates without turning the meal into separate entrees.

16

Pennies Bellwoods

9.1
Gastro Pub · West Queen West · $

Pennies is naturally built for groups: the menu is easy to split, larger parties have clear paths, and tots give the order a shared centre. It works best when the plan is social from the start.

17

Black Sheep

8.4
Pub Fare · Liberty Village

Black Sheep is easy to use as a group bar because the menu gives people food to share before they split off into cocktails or handhelds. Nachos, sliders, wings, tots, flatbreads, and a reservable room make it stronger for groups than a drinks-only stop.

18

PREQUEL & CO. APOTHECARY

8.9
Cocktail Lounge · West Queen West · $$$

PREQUEL works for groups when the booking is handled deliberately. Parties up to six can use the regular reservation path, larger groups have an events channel, and the shareable plates make the food easy to build around cocktails. It is better for planned groups than casual walk-in sprawl.

19

Pizzeria Libretto - University

9.0
Italian · Financial District · $$

This branch is easy to plan for a group because it combines reservations, shareable pizza, larger New York pies, antipasti, pasta, vegan and gluten-free options, and a downtown address that works for mixed schedules.

20

Mamakas Taverna

8.8
Greek · West Queen West · $$$

Mamakas is easy to plan for a group that wants to share. Dips, salads, meze, seafood, lamb, chicken, potatoes, and the dinner prix fixe create a natural path without making every diner choose in isolation.

21

Oroshi Fish Co.

8.7
Japanese · Dovercourt / Dufferin Grove

Oroshi works for groups when the meal is happening away from the shop. 40 Party Tray, 60 Party Tray, and Choice Set give a host a ready sushi spread without choosing every piece one by one.

22

The Playbook Commons

8.3
Italian · Liberty Village

The restaurant works best when the group has a shared plan: starters, pasta, steaks, cocktails, and a room built around watching together. Published event spaces and large-party capacity make the group use case stronger than a normal two-person dinner room.

23

Lee

9.3
Asian Fusion · Queen Street West · $$$

Lee works best when several people can share widely. The menu has enough starters, dumplings, large plates, desserts, bar options, private dining, and terrace space to support a group meal.

24

Brazen Head Irish Pub

8.9
Irish Pub · Liberty Village · $$

The menu is built for tables that want to share: Wings, Brazen Nachos, flatbreads, poutine, burgers and pub plates all work in a group rhythm. The multi-room pub and patio give that ordering style room to breathe.
