King Henry VIII - Kingsway
King Henry VIII on Bloor, just East of Montgomery
--- Guest Submission by Jeff the Dream Crusher -----
As it has since its opening several years ago, King Henry's maintains a
clean and welcoming atmosphere and a great selection of whiskeys and beers
(both bottled and on tap). With a great front window pouring in the light
and nice pubby stuff on the wall, King Henry's has a great vibe and is a
nice place to be.
However, of late, the fare on offer at King Henry's has become decreasingly
reliable. While at one time a strength, the lack of quality control from
the kitchen has resulted in one too many wilty salads and soggy fries.
Given the simple menu, there is really no excuse and given the competition
in the area, this should be a real cause for concern for the owners.
If you are up for a good pint and a nice view of morons in SUVs jockeying
for Starbucks parking, you've got the place. Unless, however, there's a
change in the kitchen, give the food a pass.
Price: Fair
Rating: as a pub: A, as a restaurant: D

Wow -Thanks Jeff, I have been to King Henry's and enjoyed the comfortable atmosphere -It's been a while since we've dined there, It was pretty decent when it first opened. Let's hope they lift their game on the food
i completely agree on the food...and such a shame. in this case, jeffy, it is the owners who crushed their own dream, and not you. *sniff*
I have been there three times in the last two months and love the food...and the ambience...had lamb shank poutine and it was amazing. Found the service inconsistent and average.
