The story
On a quiet stretch of Roncesvalles Avenue, The Ace has earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand for its good-quality, good-value cooking. The restaurant’s own site keeps things simple: dinner runs Monday through Saturday from 6 pm to 11 pm, and brunch takes over Saturdays and Sundays from 10 am to 3 pm.
The space is air-conditioned, welcoming, and unpretentious—a true neighbourhood spot with the polish of a kitchen that knows what it’s doing. The cuisine is rooted in brunch and gastropub traditions, but the Bib Gourmand nod signals something more: careful technique, generous portions, and a menu that changes with the seasons.
There are no grand claims here, no chef’s backstory on the homepage—just a clear focus on doing dinner and weekend brunch right. The address, 231A Roncesvalles, puts it in one of Toronto’s most walkable, food-loving neighbourhoods, and the straightforward hours suggest a place that values both its guests and its staff’s sanity.
For anyone seeking a relaxed, well-executed meal in Toronto, The Ace delivers exactly what its award promises: honest cooking that doesn’t break the bank.
