This little restaurant is a hidden gem! On Queen East in Toronto between Leslie and Jones street (hence the clever name :-)). Small menu, but I'm always suspicious of a small restaurant with a huge menu. That indicates to me a lot of pre-made frozen...stuff. Not this place! Everything is freshly made before your eyes in the open kitchen. I had the polenta appetizer and the beef brisket entree. Both fabulous! Decent wine list, too. Will definitely be back!More

This is a fantastic neighbourhood hangout with truly delicious food. The owner cooks everything in the tiny kitchen right by the bar. The service is excellent and you only have to go once to feel as though you are part of the Leslie Jones tribe.

My absolute favourite in Leslieville. Such tasty food and friendly staff. Really good energy. Highly recommend checking it out ♥️

Both my husband and I had the braised beef brisket. I enjoyed my meal; my husband thought it was very average. Wine was a bit expensive but we still had a couple of glasses each. The atmosphere was really nice; very comfortable. This is the...first restaurant that I have ever been in Toronto that only takes cash or debit. We most likely won't be back because my husband didn't enjoy his meal. On the other hand, our 9 year old loved her buttered pasta (very picky eater) and would like to return.More

recommended to me .. had the Salmon, 2 bites $25 ..wine by the glass, glasses are for fruit juice, tiny and expensive. They're charging fine dining prices for average..I won't go there again.

I went with a friend to Leslie Jones for the first time. We ordered the stacked eggplant, and the ratatouille and shared them. We really couldn't decide which we liked best- they were both uniquely, sublimely delicious!. Everything about the food, the atmosphere and the...service was outstanding. We will definitely be back! thanks!More

Last night I attended a private party at Leslie Jones and it was so amazing. The cozy atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious appetizers all added to the festivities. The brisket sliders, spicy chicken skewers, mini poutines, and carrot cupcakes were the highlights on the menu....Highly recommended!!More

The food and atmosphere at Leslie Jones are great. I had the braised beef brisket, which was delicious! Service was friendly and attentive.

Fantastic local restaurant serving the kind of food that will keep you coming back again and again. The Beef brisket is out of this world, and the deserts close out a perfect meal

This is a small, intimate restaurant, looks to have a nice rear patio, and the front windows (where we were seated) can open to the sidewalk so you can people-watch. The appy tray to share is delicious, my son (who normally won't look at gnocchi)...loved the gnocchi, baked cod was mild and flaky with roast veggies and a light salsa, pasta with chicken was light flavoured and my wife really liked itMore

This review is wayyyyyy overdue! I have been going to this restaurant for a couple years now. The food is consistently great and so is the atmosphere! The owner and his staff are there for you and make every meal memorable! I went twice last...week and can't wait to return! Don't miss it, just make it a habit!More

We tried this restaurant based on an on-line review that my son found when we couldn't get reservations for either of the two restaurants we initially tried based on previous good experiences. Fortunately, none of us are afraid to try new places, and we were...not disappointed. I had the tiger shrimp and chicken risotto - delicious! The pastas that the rest of my party had had plenty of both pasta, meat and sauce - all disappeared, so must have been good. My wife really enjoyed the soup, and the antipasto plate was enjoyed by all. This is a small restaurant, but feels more cozy than crowded. The "Hot Teddy" (hot cider and bourbon) was so good - I was glad that we took a cab. Definitely a restaurant we'll go back to.More
