Was recommended to dine at House on Parliment by a colleague, after hearing me lament the absense of a pub that served a good sunday roast. So the venture was struck.
First impression was good pub atmosphere, down a couple of steps from street level, tartan carpeting, cozy, old tube map on wall, plenty of customers at time of arrival at 2:30pm.
No roast was on the menu which was disappointing, but found good replacements in pies. Mine was a Quebequois interpretation of a shepards pie, his was a traditional steak and (wild) mushroom. The pastry was sound, the filling not dry or runny, served on a good dollop of mash and couple sprigs of asparagus and capsicum (peppers to our English and Canadian friends) for colour.
Parliment Street is perpendicular to Gerrard Street, which extended east to become area known as Little India. Hopes of discovering that part of town were dashed. Without my Frommer's Guide to Toronto at hand, we did not find our way there.
Frommer's Guide to Toronto - damn you!
