Fresco's Fish and Chips

Top notch fish n chips. I tried the halibut and chips. Fish steak was nice and chunky with a proper golden fried batter. Steak cut fries were good. Came with very good tartar sauce and a side of coleslaw. The owner is extremely cordial and the order was promptly taken and prepared on time. Superb interior with a lot of antique decor that draws your attention. Bar style and table seating aplenty. Tidy well maintained interior. It's nice to have a good quality fish and chips place in Kensington so I dont have to drive to Scarborough

What a gem! Tried Fresco’s Fish and Chips for the first time and it completely exceeded our expectations. Every bite was fresh, crispy, and full of flavor. The seafood platter was loaded and so satisfying, and you can tell everything is made with care. The vibe is warm and inviting, and the team goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. Can’t wait to come back — easily one of the best fish & chips spots in town!

Delicious comfort food! The poutine was rich and hearty, with generous cheese curds and tender smoked meat on top — absolutely satisfying. The fish & chips were perfectly crispy on the outside and tender inside, served with golden fries and fresh coleslaw. Great portions, great taste — definitely worth a visit if you’re craving local favorites done right

We saw this place in Kensington Market and decided to give it a try since they had both poutine and fish & chips. The service was very friendly and helpful, and the food ended up being absolutely delicious! The prices were reasonable for how much food you got and this ended up being one of our favorite meals in our visit to Toronto.

The restaurant looks great after the new paint, very clean and welcoming. Service was friendly and attentive, and the food was good as always. Definitely a place we enjoy coming back to!

Fresco’s Fish & Chips in Kensington Market really lives up to its reputation. I tried the haddock, cod, and halibut — all were perfectly fried with that signature Miss Vickie’s–style extra crispy batter. The fish was fresh, flaky, and not greasy at all. You can tell they care about quality because even the oil blend they use is lighter and doesn’t leave that heavy feeling after. The hand-cut fries were golden and well seasoned, and their poutine is worth a mention — rich, cheesy, and comforting. The atmosphere inside is cozy with Beatles memorabilia and indie music in the background, making it feel super laid-back and fun. They also have vegan options, which is a nice touch in Kensington. Plus, everything here is Ocean Wise certified — a small but meaningful detail for anyone who cares about sustainability. If you’re in Kensington Market and craving proper fish and chips, this is the spot. Casual, affordable, and done right.

The food was incredibly fresh and delicious — especially the fish & chips! I highly recommend getting it with Shrimps. Our server, Tom, was amazing. He kindly guided us through the menu and even brought us a new item to taste, which was fantastic. I was so impressed by how he asked customers for feedback and actively spoke with the manager about improving both the food and the service. It truly showed how much he cares about what he does!

I ordered delivery, the food was good and well cooked, the fries came a bit soggy but that was expected as it was delivery but we're still good. The fish was good as well and I was happy to see tartar sauce for both my orders(BOGO offer). The coleslaw was also good and I would order/eat here again.
