about us
The Elm Tavern offers a modern take on the British pub, shaped by Canadian ingredients, and seasonality. Located in the heart of downtown Toronto within the Chelsea Hotel, the restaurant transitions seamlessly from day to night, equally suited to an efficient breakfast before the workday, a relaxed lunch, an after-work pint, or unhurried dinner.
The menu balances comfort and craft, pairing familiar favourites with thoughtful updates, while a well-considered bar program highlights local beers, classic cocktails, and an approachable wine list. Inspired by the rhythm and energy of a big city, The Elm Tavern is designed for connection, a welcoming gathering place where colleagues, friends, travellers, and neighbours come together naturally.
Warm, lively, and effortlessly social, the space feels connected from the moment guests arrive. Whether hosting clients, meeting friends, or settling in for the evening, every experience is grounded in genuine hospitality, where good food, good drink, and easy conversation create memorable moments.
URBAN CANADIAN PUB
Drawing inspiration from London’s iconic gastropubs, The Elm Tavern blends British pub heritage with Canadian authenticity, creating a menu of comfort classics — rooted in local ingredients and seasonal flavours.
"Had an amazing experience at the Elm Street Bar and Lounge in the Chelsea Hotel! The food was absolutely delicious—compliments to the chef for every perfectly crafted dish. The cocktails were just as impressive—huge thanks to the bartender for mixing some of the best drinks we’ve had. And of course, a special shoutout to Shovon, who went above and beyond every day with warm, thoughtful service and always seated us at the best table. Can’t wait to return!"

"Amazing food and service.
Located in the hotel, warm cozy atmosphere. Had the BEST short ribs. You could pull the meat apart with just your fork, melt in your mouth. We were seated, drinks in hand and food at our table within 15 minutes of ordering. Oh and the Caffè Americano was perfection!!"
