THE EVOLUTION OF THE GASTRO PUB

The interpretation of a Gastro Pub will differ from one person to another depending on how they visualize the concept.

In the 1990’s fine dining restaurants in the United Kingdom rapidly began to lose business due to the economy, and then came along today what is known as the Gastro Pub.

Gastro Pubs evolved quickly became a popular option for diners, so much so that many well known Chef’s had opened Gastro Pubs offering high quality food a couple of notches higher than your typical pub food at affordable prices.

This concept in the UK became very popular with all age groups offering quality restaurant style food at pub prices allowing people to eat out more regularly.

Gastro Pubs were food lead operations unlike your typical pub which offered a large selection of beers, also the setting in a Gastro Pub was more upscale often set with linen and crystal glassware, menus typically featured a large selection of daily specials.

In Ontario there are several Gastro Pubs in Toronto, it is my opinion this is a concept that could do well in Canada although I have not experienced a typical Gastro Pub in Ontario yet.
