"For over 40 years, the Mandarin Restaurant has been serving its guests delicious meals from the premium buffet. Founded in 1979, the a la carte restaurant soon expanded to a buffet restaurant to accommodate the large number of guests they were receiving. The award-winning buffet offers a salad bar, soup and bread station, hot entrees, sizzling grilled meats and vegetables, a sushi bar, pizza, and decadent delights at the dessert station."
"Mandarin was started in 1979 as a small a la carte style restaurant by James Chiu. In 1986, it was converted into a buffet-style restaurant to cater for larger crowds who longed to get a taste of their famous cuisine. Their buffet features extensive salad and soup stations."
"If you and your family are craving delicious pizza or pasta, this restaurant is perfect for you. Crispy crusts and a variety of mouthwatering toppings make Torino the number one choice for many pizza-loving families in Kingston. This restaurant also offers pick and delivery for a variety of meals including soups, fish, grilled cheese, chicken strips, and salads."
"Finally, a Kingston pub that is closer to downtown compared to the two above but not quite there is Portsmouth Tavern. Also known as “The Ports”, this establishment in the small town/neighbourhood of Portsmouth on Kingston’s waterfront has a rich history to it. The legend goes that the pub used to be the watering hole for the old prison guards of the nearby Kingston Penitentiary."
"A no-frills English breakfast with everything you need to cure a king hangover or simply satisfy that grease pull: two eggs fried or scrambled, beans, fries, toast, and your choice of bacon, ham or sausage. Pair with a Caesar and a patio seat, and undo that belt buckle. On weekends it’s even cheaper — $4.99 on Saturdays, $4.25 on Sundays."
"If you’re looking for a pub to watch the soccer game, The Toucan is your best bet. There are 21 other draft beers but Irish pub specializes in Guinness, as well as serving traditional pub-style food. The place has a slightly shabby vibe thanks to its low lighting, which adds to its laid-back charm."
"If you find yourself away from downtown and looking for a pub, then check out The Rose & Crown Restaurant. Again, more of a restaurant but since they serve up an authentic English pub feel, we wanted to include it!. Located up on Princess Street but out in the west end/ up town from downtown, the Rose & Crown boasts live music on Wednesdays and has been serving up fish and chips for over 30 years!"
"This family restaurant was founded by Ed Walker and his wife Sheena in 2003. The restaurant is named after a pub in their hometown of Leyland in England. The Rose and Crown has served English-style fish n’ chips for over 30 years, so they know a thing or two about quality food."
