Restaurant Furniture in Toronto & Canada

Restaurant furniture is what turns an empty room into a dining room, and you'll need it when you're opening a new restaurant, adding a patio for the summer, or replacing tables and chairs that have taken a beating. This collection covers table bases, table tops, side chairs, and bar stools for both indoor and outdoor seating. Our Phoenix line features heavy cast iron bases like the Phoenix Round Table Base and Phoenix 4 Prong Table Base in dining, counter, and bar heights, and its 1.5" thick laminated High Quality Table Tops come in finishes from natural to espresso. Tarrison covers the seating, with the Tarrison Spencer Side Chair and Tarrison Aria Bar Stool for indoor dining rooms and the stackable Tarrison Garrett Aluminum Side Chair for the patio, while the Tarrison Maddox All-Weather Square Mesh Table has an umbrella hole built in. Families are covered too, with the Winco Mahogany Finish Wooden High Chair. Whether you're running a café in Toronto, a pub in Mississauga, or a patio right here in Vaughan, Phoenix Food Equipment ships restaurant furniture across the GTA and nationwide across Canada.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions we hear from operators.

What height should a bar stool be?

A good rule of thumb is to leave about 10 to 12 inches between the seat and the tabletop, so the right stool depends on your table height. Our table bases come in three heights, measured without the top: dining at about 28 to 29 inches, counter at about 34.5 to 35 inches, and bar at about 40 inches. A bar-height table works with a seat around 28 to 30 inches, like the Tarrison Aria Bar Stool (30" seat) or the Tarrison Spencer Bar Stool (27.8" seat). The counter stool version of the Tarrison Amelia Indoor Stackable Backless Stool is 25.5 inches tall and suits counter-height tables, while dining-height tables take a regular side chair like the Tarrison Kate Side Chair with its 18-inch seat. The tabletop adds its own thickness, so measure the finished height before you order.

What size table do I need for a restaurant?

The most common restaurant table tops run from 24" x 24" for a compact two-top up to 30" x 48" for a four-top, with 30" x 72" for larger groups. The Phoenix High Quality Table Top comes in nine sizes, including 30" and 48" rounds, and the Tarrison Core Collection Laminate Indoor Table Top runs from 24" x 24" to 32" x 48" plus a 30" round. Match the base to the top: square and round tables sit on a single Phoenix or Tarrison base, while long rectangular tops use a pair of T bases, like the Tarrison Core Collection Indoor 22" T-Table Base, which is designed to be used in pairs. If a table rocks on an uneven floor, the Winco sTABLEizer Plastic Table Wedges will steady it in seconds.

What furniture is best for a restaurant patio?

Look for furniture marked all-weather, because indoor pieces aren't built to sit outside. Tarrison's all-weather line has cast iron bases with an electrophoretic coating and adjustable glides, like the Tarrison Core Collection All-Weather 4 Prong Table Base in black, bronze, or silver. For seating, the Tarrison Garrett Aluminum Side Chair has a powder coated aluminum frame, and the Tarrison Amelia All Weather Stackable Side Chair is stackable too, which makes it easy to clear the patio at closing or store chairs for the winter. Pair them with the Tarrison Maddox All-Weather Square Mesh Table, which has a mesh top with an umbrella hole, and you have a complete patio set.
