| - I moved to Toronto in September and Nazareth has become, at times, a second home for me. As so many people have noted, the food is amazing. The Veggie Tibs are always a hit, and a personal favourite is the Gored Gored. 10 or 12 bucks respectively and each will feed 3 ppl easy. All this has been discussed here, and rightfully so. However, I'd like to talk about the less yelped about after-dinner/late night scene.
Usually around 10pm the restaurant clears out (save a handful of Ethiopian folks at the bar). Amazingly groovy music is cranked, tequila shots and cheap domestic bottles are consumed until an inevitable dance circle is formed wherein all participants successively take turns showing off their moves. It is the best party in Toronto and exactly why I moved here: great community, honest conversations, tons of laughs and drunked-up silliness.
Nazareth is the name of the restaurant, the owner herself, and her hometown in Ethiopia. But it also stands for great food, cheap drinks, and the best place on Bloor to dance it up any night of the week. (Except Tuesdays).
Oh, one last thing: go there on your Birthday if you like feeling special.
