Evelyn W said it well. Northern Belle is a fantastic new location from the bran-trust that brought you Toronto's original best bar, Northwood.
Northern Belle has a mix of Canadiana / French (not Quebec French, real French) in terms of the decor and cocktails and it's in a great location being so close to Trinity Bellwoods. I can't wait to pick up some cold brew coffees and stroll over to the dog park for a nice sit on the hill.
They open at 1pm, so go get a nice afternoon coffee, stay for a cocktail, and enjoy a really nice place without tacky wood panelling or pretension.
