| - I would happily give fabarnak five stars for the value I get for my money. I work nearby, so fabarnak is usually a once a week staple for me. For what you get, the price can't be beat, at least not anywhere I've been in Toronto.
I adore Fabarnak, and I've introduced it to many friends who agree that its fair prices, and creative food make it totally worth while (as I type, I am munching away on a yummy square peg lunch special)... Sometimes, however, the quality at fabarnak can fluctuate. While I'll go back again and again, sometimes I have been disappointed. The square pegs are the staple, and give me the chance to try things I wouldn't normally. But, because they make a limited quantity, sometimes the food in the square peg can get a big disappointing, perhaps because they make a certain amount in bulk. This is the only reason I'm knocking a star off this delightful little eatery! I find when I do order off the menu that the food is always top quality and wonderful.
One thing to note: Fabarnak is a social enterprise that gives employment opportunities to people who may traditionally have barriers to working in the restaurant industry. As such service can be slow sometimes. Don't take it out on the tip though, the tips all go directly to the community center!
oh, and cupcake Wednesday is rather special and amazing. I recommend checking it out! If you're curious, like them on facebook, or follow them on twitter, and they post their daily specials, including their cupcakes! This works out great for me, as it allows me to decide whether or not to order takeout that day.
