| - It is difficult to find if you are driving around in the area looking for it, but Souk Tabule is a bright delight in the midst of a new neighbourhood. Much airy attention has been placed into the decor of this latest Tabule venture, you might be snapping away on your camera just as much as you are on the food.
Unlike the other two locations, this one takes a fast but fine casual approach (order at the front, get a number). If the elegant wall menu seems perplexing, you may want to get your hands on a paper copy for details, which they don't have many of. Then, you can watch pita bread being made, get some water from a tap near the back, or take in the sights of many faces enjoy a meal here. One of our orders took forever to arrive, and we were given some baklava as consolation.
The soujuk and eggs scramble ($11) off the brunch menu was alrighty: you got your eggs and sausage proteins mixed with a refreshing cabbage slaw. I especially enjoyed the sweet roasted tomato sauciness of their shashuka ($11), comforting just like a bowl of chili. I'm not sure how to describe the Phoenician fries ($4) though--if you think sweet potato fries are a bit weird like I do, then this one is a special kind of species in the world of fries. (They do offer regular fries tho.)
{TTC: 514 streetcar to Front East, or a short walk from the Distillery District. Either way it's a stroll to a condo at the very end of Front Street.}
