The Ace

The Ace is a gastropub at 231A Roncesvalles Avenue in Toronto's Roncesvalles neighbourhood, in Ontario, Canada. It is listed in the Michelin Guide Toronto 2026 selection as a Bib Gourmand, the guide's designation for good-value cooking. The cuisine is gastropub, and the listed specialty is gastropub plates, which typically means elevated pub food: shareable starters, burgers, fried items, hearty mains and seasonal specials, made with more care than a standard tavern menu. The listed average is CAD 30-60 per person, or about USD 22-43, a moderate figure that depends on the drinks ordered. The room reflects the pub format, with a relaxed, social atmosphere, casual dress and a noise level that climbs on busy evenings, and it suits groups of friends, neighbours and families more than formal occasions. The beverage side is central to a gastropub, usually featuring draft and craft beer, wine and cocktails, so ordering drinks is part of the experience. Roncesvalles Avenue is one of Toronto's most walkable village-style streets, lined with Polish bakeries, cafes and independent shops, and it sits near High Park, so a meal can follow an afternoon outdoors. The restaurant's own website is the best source for its current reservation approach, as Toronto restaurants variously use OpenTable, Resy or Tock, and pubs sometimes hold space for walk-ins. The 504 King streetcar runs along Roncesvalles Avenue, and Dundas West station and Roncesvalles routes provide transit access, so a car is not needed.
