Chop was created for people who love sharing, connecting and everything steak. We are proud to offer a menu that shares our commitment to sustainable beef sourcing, serving high-quality cuts of 100% Canadian beef. It isn’t just the meat that’s special – it’s also how we cook it. Our Montague broiler cooks at up to 1800 °F, giving a beautiful crust and flavour to every steak! We slow roast our prime rib in a humidity-controlled oven, keeping it mouth-watering and tender. And we put this level of care into each of our hand-crafted drinks, and from-scratch dishes, including plant-based and seafood options, with something for everyone to enjoy. All of this quality comes with friendly hospitality in warm and energetic rooms. Open for lunch, happy hour, dinner and late-night!

    Never disappoints! Absolutely delicious cocktails! Started with a light radicchio salad. Blue cheese and chopped nuts being the perfect complement with the raddicio. main dish this evening was the octopus. Loved the veggie side choices but-the ratio of octopus to sauce was off. Need to be a bit more generous with the portion size of the octopus in comparison to the amount of sauce. Dessert was mouth-watering pavlova with dark chocolate ice cream and piled high with fresh raspberries. Divine!! All in all; another fantastic dinner at The Parlor. Ticks all the boxes! Beautiful atmosphere, love the mid-century furnishings! Wait staff and bar tenders always friendly and accommodating so still tied at number 1 with Supply & Demand in Westboro. One request— PLEASE bring back the original deviled eggs!!! They are missed🥰

    We've been dining at Gezellig for years because we can always rely on the best food and service. Yesterday's dinner with friends was no exception. The duck and beef rib were divine along with the wine pairings. Great night out!
