| - This is the kind of place I could recommend to just about anyone. Amazing ambiance, service, food and beer. If you want to sit on the patio just be smart and plan ahead, those who complain about waiting for a spot clearly just assumed a patio this cute was going to be empty for the taking!
Food
We ordered the bread and butter, garlic fries, nduja and ricotta, fried chicken and chorizo verde. My favourites were the nduja and the chorizo (my friends raved about the garlic fries and chicken too though!). The nduja is essentially a crostini with a delicious combination of sweet, spicy and salty topping. The chorizo was also very good, loved the potato and cabbage stew that was underneath! Only thing I would comment on is the bigger dishes are a little hard to split between many people given they are more like plated entrees. I am impressed the food all paired really well with the beer, that says someone in the kitchen is equally passionate about their food and the beers (a rarity for brew pubs in the city). We paid about $27 (tip included) each between 5 of us and def. weren't left hungry!
Drinks
Almost everyone ordered the Omerta (?) which was a slightly fruity, hibiscus noted brew. It is still quite a bit hoppy like most of Bellwoods' beer so you do need to like that "beer" taste. With that being said it might not be for everyone! They do carry other brewery beers too so i would ask for a recommendation if you aren't a big beer drinker to begin with.
Service
Double thumbs up! I find service so hit or miss in Toronto but I'm glad to see something so hipster seeming doesn't have that cold-shouldered vibe. I asked the ladies who greeted me if I could put my name down for a spot on the patio while I waited for my friends to arrive. They seated us inside and moments after receiving our drinks they came back to let us know a spot was open on the patio. We did have to ask for odd things like napkins and cutlery that you would think would come as soon as any food came to the table but a small hiccup is forgivable once those trusty forks arrived!
I'd highly recommend this for groups of friends or a date for any beer/food loving pairs, especially during the summer season when you get to enjoy the patio space. However, the inside is equally charming and fun! Big fan of their branding and artwork, really gives it that handmade unique quality.
