The Little Sparo

8.4
Group-Friendly · 7.5
Italian · Downtown & Waterfront

4

GRIND Kitchen + Bar

8.9
Group-Friendly · 7.5
Canadian · Downtown & Waterfront · $$

Big Family Brewing Company Kitchen and Biergarten

8.9
Group-Friendly · 7.5
Brewpub · Downtown & Waterfront · $$

Bring a group for beer, pizza, snacks, handhelds, and patio time. The room suits a casual crew that wants food and drinks without turning the visit into a formal dinner.

9

Victory Buffet

7.3
Group-Friendly · 7.5
Chinese · Murphy Road Commercial Area · $$

The restaurant works well for groups because variety is the point. Diners can split rolls, fried appetizers, chicken dishes, rice and buffet plates without forcing everyone into the same kind of meal.

10

The Tin Fiddler

8.9
Group-Friendly · 7.5
Upscale Casual · Downtown & Waterfront · $$

The menu gives groups several ways to share without flattening the order: fries, puffs, hot chicken, poke, tacos, handhelds, bowls, wine, beer, mocktails, and cocktails. The large-party path also makes it more usable for planned groups than a small walk-in-only bar.

11

Ups N' Downs

8.0
Group-Friendly · 7.5
British Pub · Downtown & Waterfront · $$

Two upstairs private rooms and catering support give groups a clear path beyond squeezing into the main pub floor.

12

In The Pocket

8.7
Group-Friendly · 7.0

8.8
Group-Friendly · 7.0

Boulevard Grill

8.5
Group-Friendly · 7.0
Canadian · Exmouth Street Corridor · $$

15

Bains BBQ

9.1
Group-Friendly · 7.0
Smokehouse · London Road Corridor · $$

Groups have an easy path here: start with Smoked Wings or dips, then split ribs, brisket, chicken, and sides. The menu makes sense when several people want to build a shared meal instead of each ordering an isolated plate.

16

John's Restaurant

8.7
Group-Friendly · 7.0
Canadian · London Road Corridor · $$

John's has the rare diner setup that can handle a casual meal, take-home family dinner, catering order or private-room gathering without changing the core menu. The Famous Room and seating for large groups make it more useful than a standard two-top breakfast stop.

17

Tandoori Chaska

8.3
Group-Friendly · 7.0
Indian · London Road Corridor · $$

A group can build a broad order without much friction: one combo base, one chaap, one curry, and one crispy snack covers a lot of ground.

18

Cosmo's Family Restaurant

8.4
Group-Friendly · 7.0
Italian · Downtown & Waterfront · $$

Group orders are easiest when the meal leans into trays. Lasagna, salad, and buns give Cosmo's a practical shared-meal shape, especially for takeout rather than a long, formal dinner.

21

Roxy Lounge

9.3
Group-Friendly · 7.0
Nepalese · Downtown & Waterfront · $$

22

Davis Craft Kitchen & Bar

23

Midtown Tap & Grill

8.9
Group-Friendly · 6.5
Bar & Grill · Confederation Street Corridor · $$

A mixed group can build a meal without compromise: wings, nachos, wraps, burgers, pickerel, salmon, chicken mains, salads, bowls, and flatbreads all sit in the same casual format.

24

Twos

7.7
Group-Friendly · 6.5
Gastro Pub · Murphy Road Commercial Area · $$
