Maple Leaf

Love the atmosphere. It’s not often you get that North American vibe in a restaurant in London. Good comfort food and nicely spaced pub. The food is solid, but I wouldn’t call it breathtaking. They also have TVs displaying fun sports and it genuinely feels like a causal pub you can actually relax and chat in.

Situated in Covent Garden this is like stepping into another country. The decoration and vibe of the place adds to an overall authentic Canadian feeling. Usually showing a range of different sports for entertainment; although can get loud at times. I’ve always wanted to try a classic poutine; which was mediocre given the price point. However the range of beers on tap; particularly the “maple leaf lager” is a favourite of mine!

I went to the Maple Leaf to enjoy two games of football on a super Sunday. This pub is great for watching sport with a good atmosphere and a diverse crowd. I saw families, groups and individuals all enjoying themselves in this pub. There are so many screens and is a great place to watch sport in this central location. To top it off, there is a great selection of drinks and there’s poutine!!

If you want to have a cheat meal but not sure what to eat then I would recommend coming here to Maple Leaf for just drinking good enough beer and good enough food for a ridiculously great price. Trust me if you want to enjoy the taste of food then I recommend somewhere else. But if you want to drink a lot of beer and just chat and then have something tasty and filling to go along with it, then yes do try this pub. We came here because my wife and I never had Canadian beer and Poutine. We always wanted to try and found the only place in London that got all this. So with that expectation we were really happy. I am sure no pure blood Canadian would ever consider the poutine here as that great but for first timers this place did good. Additionally the 3 starters for 13 pounds was a great deal. Their southern fried fish tacos were amazing. The karaage and baos were good too.
