Normally i would NOT venture this far north. But since i was up there anyways, why not get some grub?
A vegetarian friend of mine highly recommended Graceful and the reviews on yelp were fantastic. They were right!
Annoyance first though... what a hard place to find! The address is Steeles, but it's not on Steeles at all! It's around the back of a mall on the side that faces Kennedy. Tricky, very tricky!
Once we did find it, and were seated, the graceful experience began :)
The service was so attentive, and the restaurant was bright, clean and busy. We got a pot of green tea right away. Delicious. Then had veggie spring rolls for starters. They came out super hot (wait 'til they cool! Ouch!). Between us we had the mock steak w/honey & pepper sauce and the fried rice noodles w/XO sauce and mock beef. WOW!! I swear it's the best fake meat i've ever had! The mock steak w/honey pepper sauce was fantastic! I would have preferred the noodles w/XO sauce to be saucier, but it was still good. Although it was nothing compared to the honey pepper sauce (SO YUMMY).
The portions were good and large and I took the leftovers home with me.
I couldn't resist dessert and we ordered the Honey Crispy Twists. Four little pieces of wontons, nice and crispy with hot honey drizzled over them. Simple and just what i wanted.
