About Us

Originally built in 1910 as three storefronts, including a grocery, our historic building was transformed into the Hotel Maple Leaf in 1935. For over 80 years, it was a lively gathering place for locals and travelers, each bringing their stories and energy to this cherished space. While its character shifted over the decades, its role as a cornerstone of the community remained steadfast.

In 2013, we undertook an extensive renovation to preserve the building’s charm while creating a fresh, modern experience for today’s guests. Reopening in the spring of 2016, Maple Leaf Tavern has become a celebrated part of Gerrard St. E.’s revitalization, offering a vibrant yet comfortable place for friends and families to come together.

We take pride in honouring tavern traditions while reimagining them for a new era. Our menu highlights classic dishes elevated with fresh, local ingredients, complemented by craft cocktails, a thoughtfully curated wine list, and the signature flavours of our wood-fired grill.

Whether it’s a casual dinner with family, a date night to remember, or a special celebration, we’re here to make every visit feel just right. Nestled in Toronto’s East End, Maple Leaf Tavern is where community and culinary creativity come together. We look forward to welcoming you #AtTheTavern.
