Pickle Barrel

Founded in 1971, Pickle Barrel is a chain of twelve Canadian restaurants located in the Greater Toronto Area.

Atmosphere

Pickle Barrel in the Markville Shopping Centre

During the early 2000s Pickle Barrel changed its image, with a more upscale, trendy look, though restaurants made before this still sport signature photos, each location having different themes. Though still being seen as a family restaurant, since the updated look the restaurant has a more formal atmosphere with similar prices.

Menu

The menu has a wide variety covering most types of regional fare, as well as multicultural menus. Pickle Barrel also has catering, and two of their restaurants have banquet halls, Leslie Street and Markville Shopping Centre. Recently, Pickle Barrel hired Rose Reisman of Rose Reisman Catering and consultant for Glow Fresh Grill & Wine Bar (owned by the Pickle Barrel) to assist in the creation of new upscale and nutrition conscious menus.
