Mata is a nice little spot in Parkdale. Specializing in Brazilian fare, Mata has an interesting menu of food and cocktails. I enjoyed my evening there...
...and then I got the bill. The prices are outrageous for the offering. I ordered feijoada, which was quite tasty but very tiny. I'm talking about ramekin-sized serving for $13. I was expecting a meal, but got, essentially, an appetizer. I also ordered a pisco sour (cocktail). Again, quite tasty, but $12 for a tumbler-sized drink is a rip off. But maybe I'm just not used to the downtown-cocktail-scene.
Yes, the quality is good, but not unavailable at other places. Would I go there again? Certainly not. Maybe I'm a cheapskate--or just don't like getting taken for a ride.
