| - Another Kensington gem. I loved the vibe and laid-back type atmosphere of this bar-pub. Due to my severe reaction to alcohol, I do not always enjoy myself in a pub type setting, however, I could see the appeal of this place. Staff were very friendly and take time to make their recommendations and make quick banters. There are a wide variety of draft and craft beers that are available for your pickings. The music varies from live DJs to a breezy playlist.
The food was what hooked me. During the summer, especially, the ceviche taco just brings out all that summertime freshness. The bouquet of flavours were very well balanced with the citrus, savoury and sweetness of the seafood. I loved there house hot sauce displayed in a cute miniature bottle that packed a punch. I was obsessively lathering all my food with it...I was so tempted to grab a bottle and run off with it (but don't worry, I kept my dignity partially intact and left the bottle with its rightful owner). $1 oysters were a nice treat, though they were quite small but fresh...pretty typical.
As 2 birds with one stone type deal...they offered Wanda's Pie in the sky as their featured desserts that day. I LOVED the peanut butter cheese cake-and I'm not even a peanut butter, chocolate nor heavy creamed cake fan! OMG, it was not in your face sweet but instead the texture and taste were on point....drooolssss. The best part of this collaboration is that I could get desserts late in the night.
Overall, lovely place that have a little of everything for everyone. Great vibe, decent food and happy company. I would love to come back, time and time again, when in the area.
