| - Having lived in either Mississauga or Toronto for almost all my life, it's a sad fact that I know very little about anything Toronto outside of the downtown core. A visit here with a friend marked my first trip to an area that, until this day, I'd only ever heard about: Kensington Market. It was also a first in another way... I'd never had Hungarian food before, and that was going to change.
Being unfamiliar with Hungarian cuisine, I deferred to my friend who also happened to be Hungarian. She suggested that I go with the Gypsy Schnitzel (Pan-fried natural schnitzel smothered with garlic-pepper topped with onion fritters, and a chunk of bacon with side of potatoes), so I did. Naturally, she went Thai (!) and ordered a green curry veggie dish. We paired our dishes with a glass of the house red (On that day, it was a Cabernet-Shiraz blend). I've definitely tasted better Thai curry dishes in the past, but the Gypsy Schnitzel was a 10/10. For dessert, we went with crepes (2, filled with strawberry jam/nutella) and coffee.
Our host/server was very welcoming and the space itself was very cozy and inviting. Colourful painted murals line one wall of the restaurant and add to the "mashup" environment of the restaurant.
Overall, a great experience! I'll be looking out for this place the next time I'm in Kensington Market.
