About Us

SINCE 1971

The Pickle Barrel began with a mission. We believed that amazing dining experiences didn’t need to be elitist, so we began a restaurant that combined ‘quality’ with ‘incredible value’. Our origins were humble; there were six of us working hard to open an 85-seat deli on Leslie Street in Toronto. Still, our vision captured people’s attention, and when our doors opened in 1971, there was already a line up outside.

Today we have 6 Pickle Barrel Restaurants with over 40 items on our menu, and the addition of seasonal menu offerings throughout the year. Our Catering Commissary has over 300 items. One thing that hasn’t changed is our mission. We still have many of our original customers too.
