It is a unique experience to take a kid to a hipster bar, but The Ace in Roncesvalles is more than accommodating to its pint-sized customers. The 12 and under set get their own special menu with the Ace's famous burger on it, alongside the typical grilled cheese and spaghetti. Mac and cheese sneaks in some cauliflower florets and sides are not just French fries, if you have the kind of kid who will eat broccoli at a restaurant. Adults get their choice of some of the finest cocktails in the city alongside beautiful dishes like flat iron steak with red wine jus or lamb shank with creamy polenta.

EXPERT TIPS BY:

Toronto Local Expert
- Family Friendly: "This is still a bar in the evenings. The best time to go is for brunch or lunch if you are bringing pint-sized customers."
- Homestyle: "Follow their Twitter feed and Facebook pages for the daily specials. When a Christmas burger shows up, it might be time to run over. We will break it down for you in the words of Guy Fieri of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives: "If you took your whole Thanksgiving dinner, wadded it up into a ball, put a little crisp on the outside of it, that's what this tastes like.""
- Best for Family Friendly Because: The children's menu at The Ace goes above and beyond the usual.
- Best for Homestyle Because: Comfort food, late night snacks and amazing drinks in a cozy restaurant free of downtown pretension.
