Talk about another gem of a place! I must start out by warning you all that this place is a little hard to find if you aren't looking hard enough. It is right next to Patagonia so hopefully that helps guide you a little bit.
OK enough about that...let's talk about first impressions. I walked in and the first thing that caught my eye was the huge paintings on the walls. Those were pretty cool looking, as well as the fancy bar area that housed the pig leg and all of the other assorted meats. I was visiting Toronto for work and made it a point to check out some really nice restaurants. Since I was alone I choose to sit at the bar and watch the butcher at work! But the outside area looked really peaceful and the inside dining area was also very modern and hip looking. I asked the butcher and waitress for help while ordering. Everything looked so good but I needed guidance since I was eating alone. They recommended the fried pig ears (AMAZING!!!), chorizo for a meat and goat cheese that was aged in wine. Although I didn't order much I was pretty full by the time I finished my meal. I can't forget that I ordered the churros for dessert. If you are every contemplating getting dessert at this restaurant, you must order the churros that are dipped in dulce sauce. It was decadent and just down right sinful how good it was.
If I am ever in Toronto again, I will make sure to stop by Patria!
