Zocalo is a fantastic cafe/restaurant located in the junction triangle. Located at Bloor and Symington it is nestled perfectly into the area. Street parking is available on Symington.
Paul and Heather are lovely people and they have an adorable dog, Atlas=) the restaurant is so quant, warm, cozy and inviting. The counter tops are beautifully worn reclaimed barn boards and the bar has immaculate detailing. The music and atmosphere are always great. The menu is small but amazing. Most things are made in house and use the most interesting flavour combinations. Prices ranging from $5 appetizers to $10 for broken bread sandwiches. I have sampled every item and on the menu and have yet to be disappointed. The menu changes frequently. Fresh local ingredients are always utilized. Various cheese plates, house made pickles, nuts and breads with hummus occupy the tappas portion of the menu. Entrees include: different stews, broken bread sandwiches and soups. The fresh squeezed watermelon lemonade in the summer is so refreshing. This is the perfect spot to go on a romantic first date or catch up with an old friend at=) They also have a small brunch menu and offer various hot beverages/baked goods in the morning. Yum! Amazing food, amazing people and a strong sense of community at Zocalo.
I highly recommend this cafe!
