| - Again, I am coming off my review moratorium to tell you all about a wicked new spot in Parkdale! When someone asks you the question "what is Canadian food?" you no longer have to sit there confused and answer with "poutine". Send them over to Keriwa and all will be revealed...
1. This place is virtually brand new, but the atmosphere and buzz feels like it's been apart of the neighbourhood for years. It feels like they've carved out an identity already. Maybe it's because the seating capacity is pretty limited and it feels more intimate, I dunno.
2. Whenever possible, all the ingredients are sourced locally -- while in season.
3. Some of the best cocktails in town. The attention to detail while crafting these things is incredible. Many original concoctions.
4. Oysters, smoked whitefish app, and bison tail. All winners. And yes, Bonnie D. is right; the peach/nectarine pie is one of the most delicious things I have ever eaten. Just get it.
5. From my understanding, this is a start up from a couple of people from Splendido, so it doesn't surprise me at all that the food and drinks are this good. Also as expected, the service is top notch.
Overall, this is such a great new spot in the city. If it wasn't for being broke, I'd eat here all the time. I highly recommend this place...definitely check it out before the buzz gets around.
