About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
Why The North Coal? The concept was created by the feeling of being away from city life with family and friends. For us, that’s Northern Ontario, but as lucky as we are to experience that way of life, not everyone is. Our mission is to provide that feeling regardless of your surroundings.

Located in the heart of Downtown Burlington, The North Coal is the perfect place for Summer Drinks, Family Dinners or just a place to kick back with your friends after a long week!

    We really enjoy going to North coal. Duck tacos are fantastic as are the brussel sprouts. Service is always great. Thursday evenings they have entertainment. We enjoy going for that when we’re free.

    We had a lovely evening, the service was friendly and efficient. There were 3 of us one ordered the steak bowl and it was great. Two of us had Steak frites my friend ordered medium rare and I ordered blue both arrived medium well. They were tasty but not what we were hoping for. Two of us had been many times ( the North Cole is JoAnn's favorite restaurant) but the third member of our party was not impressed enough to make a return visit,sorry.
