The Commoner is a staple in Toronto's Roncesvalles neighbourhood. The cosy and comfortable family spot is a home away from home for many of its regular patrons. The menu is stacked with Canadian classics, warming comfort foods and a ton of local craft brews. Try their colossal nachos, fried chicken sandwich, or some other pub favourites. Decorated in leather booths with wood-panelled dividers, this spot is reminiscent of an old school English pub with a few modern Toronto-inspired touches.

They have a great brunch menu offered on Saturday and Sunday mornings between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. The highlights are their savoury eggs benny served on a house-made cheese scone, topped with the classic accoutrements, the English breakfast and the massive platter of brioche French toast.
