I'm going to be in Toronto for a wedding and was hoping for some restaurant suggestions for a large group of family. Like 25 people. We've got a few birthdays in the family so we're doing a big celebration. Any suggestions?
I'm having my husband surprise birthday of about 17 people here http://www.barque.ca/ and I'm sure that they can do a few more. Have an inclosed patio too and great sparkling wine on tap as well as amazing food. My husbands best friend works there and his friends own the place. It has amazing smoked and BBQ food-one of the owners toured the southern USA to learn more about it as well and bought and brought the smokers up from the south. We've eaten there before and it's pretty amazing
Its not fancy, but I have been to a a few group parties at Marche on Young (Brookfield building). Everyone gets a card to keep track of their purchases so its easy if you plan to split the bill. We have found that to be a pain at more formal restaurants in Toronto. You can reserve a private room for your group. Food is tasty as well!
Just don't do the private room at Bier Markt if you plan to split the bill. They make it as hard as humanly possible.
