| - I love Hair of the Dog. Why?
Well, I probably visit an average of once a month and always enjoy myself.
First, the food is good and tasty! And they have several vegetarian options (I think only the vegetarian burger is vegan, though), GOOD vegetarian entree options. You can add TOFU to quesadillas and curry for the same price as adding chicken. They have a tasty veggie burger. They have several veggie apps. All in all, this is a good place to go to if vegetarians and meat-eaters are dining together. (Please note: I haven't eaten brunch here since their menu change so I can't comment on the brunch food, it used to be GREAT).
Second, the staff is typically attentive and friendly. I don't know if they're technically allowed to, but staff have altered food on request for me and they keep the drinks coming quickly.
Third, the beer selection is great. They tend have my standard favourites available, including Mill Street Organic and Blanche de Chambly.
Fourth, the ambiance is way more restaurant than pub. Which means you can also take a date here.
Fifth, the prices are not the cheapest in the city but overall, they're VERY reasonable.
Lastly (and in the spirit of summer), the patio at Hair of the Dog is fantastic. Tables are not too crowded, it's just off the main drag, and there is a nice mix of shade and sun most times of the day.
Hair of the Dog gets two thumbs up from me!
