Meet the owner

The Local Gest’s four owners (Gary, Eric, Sean and Tiffany, or GEST) aren’t your typical Toronto restaurateurs. The four locavore business partners own an acre of land in Sutton, Ontario, where they grow vegetables for their Cabbagetown restaurant.

Established in 2013 in the former Ben Wicks space on Parliament Street, The Local Gest takes pride in supporting homegrown craft breweries and Ontario farmers — it’s all “local, local, local,” says owner Tiffany Smith.

The chef, Javier, says this farm-to-table approach is his dream. “This is what I love,” he says. “As a chef, to be able to grow your own food, cook it and present it on the table…I love converting food into smiles.”

Truly one of the best burgers in TO. I’d have to also say one of the best - if not THE BEST- fresh cut fries. Atmosphere only a bit quiet because our city is only just starting to open up. Definitely will go back.

Our server and owner were both delightful. We made a reservation for 6 people but changed last minute to 8 which they easily accommodated. The food was delicious and homemade - our group had fish and chips, grilled cheese, steak, wings, burgers and it was all very tasty. Service was prompt and value is excellent. Great variety of beers on tap as well. Will definitely be coming back.

Second weekend open since lockdown this year and these guys have jumped back in! Love the personal touch from the owners. Even was offered a pastry making class! Service was upbeat and friendly. Food was fast and plentiful. Had the mushroom pie and 4 cheese lasagna. Amazing. Side salads were not drowned in dressing which I loved! Patio was cute and comfie and I saw the sanitizing on everything. Lots of locals swung by while we were there. Just a great pub in cabbage town! We will be back!
