user reviews of C'est What?, Toronto

please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

Great selection of beers and bartenders great to chat with. Quite knowledgable about sports..............especially my favourite........baseball. Very enjoyable and regret I can only get there once or twice a year. I have no idea about their food as it wasn't my first priority.

A gem.

I visited on the evening of 10th June and found a welcoming warm and cosy basement pub close to Lawrence Market. Little prepares you for what awaits the discerning drinker here. A low ceiling, plenty of wood and bare brickwork greets visitors, under the subtle illumination of tungsten lighting. Recorded playlist music was at a very comfortable level, and included a selection of country, rock, soul and easy listening lounge tracks.

The beer drinker is offered no less than 35 draught beers of which I had the pleasure of enjoying the following, all brewed by C�est What?�s own craft brewer at the Durham Brewery, Pickering, Ontario:

KING CZECH-STYLE PLSNER (4.8%)
Very dry and hoppy, similar to Pilsner Urquell. Refreshing and fulfilling.

AL�S CASK ALE (5%)
A hoppy, pale, straw coloured cask bitter with the texture and flavour of Milton Sparta.

DURHAM HOPHEAD (4.5%)
But for its strength, this beer could quite easily be mistaken for its Dark Star namesake. Richly hoppy, aromatic and refreshing, very clean satisfying taste to this beer. Excellent.

HOP ADDICT (5.4%)
Exquisitely hoppy, pleasant mouthfeel and bitter aftertaste. In the style of an American Pale Ale, again compares well with Dark Star APA.

COFFEE PORTER
Rich, dark porter ale, smoother texture than that of Mill Street Brewery but just as flavoursome and a PERFECT beer on which to finish the evening�s drinking.

A wide and varied food menu is offered, to satisfy all tastes and palates, and the prices are great value. Specials of the day included cream of zucchini and chicken soup which I enjoyed for $4.95. The soup was aromatic, full-flavoured and served at eating temperature. Superb value at less than the price of a pint in London. I chose a Greek salad as my main course, again, excellent value at $9. The salad arrived, coarse-cut, but at lightning speed and completely fresh. Very impressive.

Friendly, attentive and humorous staff kept me well looked-after throughout the evening, and as I sat on the bar, conversation was possible at times.

Also note the availability of pub games including chess, scrabble and trivial pursuit, alongside no less than four pool tables and a dartboard.

This is a MUST-visit pub when you�re in Toronto, you will certainly be glad you popped in. The 10/10 mark I award with this review is not without good reason.

Wow! What an excellent find!! The beer's well kept, the barmen knowledge & friendly and the food's good as well. Mrs Phantom_Raspberry was equally impressed...

Directions - Come out of Union Station onto Front Street West, do a right, keeping on the same side as the station, cross Yonge St and walk for about half a mile down Front Street East, until you get to the "Flat Iron" building, cross Church St and it's a tiny entrance just on your right, down some stairs.

Without doubt, the best selection (dozens) of Craft beers in Toronto, if not the country. They don't sell Molson or Labbat.
Service is attentive/casual and food is always good value (try the calamarie and ask for it 'extra-crispy').
Jazz band in here every Saturday afternoon 3 to 6 pm is like a trip to New Orleans.
Great place.
