Spicy marinated octopus, arugula, cherry tomatoes and green olives

Brewed by Stonehookers brewery and created for 850 Degrees. This European style lager is thrist quenching, refreshing and comes crisp, clean with a hint of citrus. 

What could be more Canadian than an Irish pizza chef making Neapolitan pizza in suburban Toronto? I defy you to find a pizzeria more Canadian than 850 Degrees….

Buffalo mozzarella, oven roasted peaches and Ontario prosciutto with a drizzle of balsamic glaze. This white pizza is light and bursting with flavour

Our classic St John with a crust stuffed full of ricotta cheese and hot salami 

As someone who is a new Canadian, I get asked a lot about what is the biggest difference between my experiences from the UK and Canada. I alway say the same, a sense of community. 

When we opened, our neighbourhood made a concerted effort to make sure they supported us by not just coming in once a week but sometimes twice or even three times. 

This is why The Gem of the Lakeshore means so much to us !! Thank you all for your vote and for all your support over the past 5 years.  

We will proudly continue to support “Local”… Local produce, Local hockey team, Local arts (Lakeshore Arts!), Local schools and many more!

 We have already had our Mother’s Day so you could join us on your special day. So book your table now and every Mother will receive some flowers at the end your meal

Over the past 1.5 years we have had many great moments at our Bloor Street location. Many of you have shared birthdays, pre-wedding parties and christenings. Unfortunately those moments were not enough for us to sustain our business there. Therefore with immediate effect, we have decided to close our location at Bloor and Dundas.

If you have a future reservation, you will be contacted and offered a table at our Lakeshore location. 

We want to say thank you to all our customers that supported us at Bloor, we truly do appreciate you're support and love.

All the Etobicoke restaurant’s ingredients are locally or Canadian-sourced (except the Parmesan), including water buffalo meat, cheese and all-Canadian meats like prosciutto from Niagara.

The snow would not stop but you, our amazing customers could not be deterred. 100’s turned up to celebrate our 5th birthday with us. From the bottom of our hearts THANK YOU for not just last night but for the past amazing 5 years.

We want to make sure as many people as possible get to spend some time with us, so we have allotted 1.5hrs per reservation, which is more than enough time to enjoy your meal and listen to a little music.
