Downtown London’s contemporary Canadian kitchen & bar
The House on Queen’s (HQ) is one of downtown London’s newest restaurants and cocktail bars, opened as a neighbourhood gathering place for the people who work and live in the core. Our contemporary Canadian menu blends flavours from several cultures into approachable comfort food cooked with chef-driven technique — think the Smash Burger, the Hot Roast Beef Sandwich, the Jalapeño Bomb Squad, the Jerk Chicken Wrap, a proper Caesar Salad and a Cheese Quesadilla built for sharing. Read more about the house and the way we cook.
You will find us on the corner of Queen’s Avenue, minutes from Victoria Park, Richmond Row, Covent Garden Market, Budweiser Gardens, the Grand Theatre and the Delta London Armouries. That makes HQ an easy choice for an office lunch, a business meeting, a pre-show dinner, a date night or after-work cocktails — and our kitchen stays open until 11:00 PM Thursday through Saturday when downtown London wants to stay out a little later.
