“You are a stranger here…but once”
Welcome to the 59 time award winning Black Dog. We’ve heard time and again that we’re the best place in town to bring friends, clients, family and visitors you really want to impress
The Black Dog opened its doors 14 years ago in 1993 with a simple concept of providing excellent service, fine tradition pub fare and the best beers of the world.  This business philosophy grew so successfully that in 1996, the dining room and patio was added to keep up with the demand of the growing clientele.  With that, a new menu boasted are array of continental and contemporary dishes that pointed The Dog in a new culinary direction. The Black Dog was no longer just a pub.
Forever changing to the needs of the clientele and creating a path of its own, the Black Dog embarked on providing healthier menu choices and received the Heart Smart Award of Excellence in 2002. The Dog has since won that Award year after year to date.
Being a strong community supported and leader in charitable support, the Black Dog has raised thousands of dollars for local community and charitable organizations and has been recognized by the Mayor of Toronto, MP’s, MPP’s, The Premier of Ontario and national media groups for its involvement and participation in fundraising.

The Black Dog received just about every kind of award offered to restaurants/bars/ and pubs, not to mention the Trillium Garden Award for it’s outstanding floral gardens and  just this year “Best Patio” from the Toronto Sun’s Readers Choice Awards. The Black Dog holds a total of 52 awards to date. Over the last few years the Black dog has been aggressive with its menu design and now designates 50% of the menu to heart smart, vegetarian, & vegan dishes as well as celiac.
The Black Dog as always has been a leader of innovation in the industry, and recently claimed itself as the “Greenest Restaurant/Bar in the GTA”. We proudly present our mindful environmentally sustainable accomplishments on the back of our menu and on the “Greening of the Dog” page found on our site. Come celebrate a whole new direction of a healthier greener relaxed dining experience.

You are a stranger here, but once.  Cheers, Ken & Kelly
