Osborne Village mainstay

The Toad in the Hole has reopened , its new digs emphasizing a more intimate , sophisticated aesthetic . Still the pub we know and love — regulars will recognize knickknacks preserved from the old Toad — wingback chairs now encircle a stone fireplace while dark wood shelves showcase a vast selection of whiskys . The menu , too , has seen a renovation , introducing brunch and integrating vegan options with traditional English offerings like fish and chips , chicken pot pie and Scotch eggs ( pictured above ). 155 Osborne St , thetoadpubwinnipeg . com
