| - The Globe Bistro is one of my favorite restaurants in Toronto. It offers food with the exacting standards of a restaurant downtown, while offering a more informal environment suited to the neighborhood. Actually, The Globe features two environments: a casual gastropub in front, and a supper club in the rear. I've dined at this restaurant 10-15 times over the last few years. Time after time, the restaurant succeeds in offering delightful innovation, local ingredients, satisfying portions, and excellent service. This service is an unusual combination of amiable, knowledgeable, and unpretentious. Globe offerings span traditional brunch, full meals, and tasting menus. The tasting menus can be dazzling, and brunch is never less than satisfying. All this excellence comes at a price, of course, but there's value for the money. As an aside, the wine pairings add an extra dimension to dishes. And one should never ignore the salty caramels offered at the end of the meal. As always, I look forward to my next visit.
