| - I went to the Gerrard location with my sisters while visiting Toronto. It was early evening and the place was full of natural light. There were these golden hanging lightbulbs which gave fabulous ambience once the sun started to set. We started to realize that the "get loaded" tagline was actually referring to the fact that this was a place to drink. Vodka, in particular!
The menu is quite phenomenal. From Butter Chicken to dessert pierogies like Strawberry & Chocolate. There is something for everyone. I stuck to my seafood-loving roots and got The Catch, "Atlantic lobster & crab with julienne sweet peppers, caramelized onions, hollandaise sauce, sour cream & green onions". Damn! So delicious! And they were generous with both the hollandaise and the sour cream. Fabulous!
I got my pierogies half and half which meant half boiled and half deep fried. Both were fabulous. My sisters on the other hand got all deep fried.
Jamie ordered The Cabbage Patch Kid which came with crispy fried brussel sprouts, caramelized onions, cheddar cheese, sun dried tomatoes, creamy ranch dressing, sour cream & green onions. She LOVES brussel sprouts!
Shannon ordered The Porky Pig which came with crispy center cut bacon, cheddar cheese, caramelized onions, sour cream & green onions.
Everything was delicious. Jamie's brussel sprout healthy goodness was cooked perfectly and Shannon's was cheese and bacon bliss.
The Loaded Pierogi on Gerrard has wonderful ambience so it is a great location for a family meal and if you want to add some vodka beverages to your cheese and potato dumplings, go for it! Service was lovely and the place always had people coming and going. It was quite packed when we left on my first Friday night in Toronto. What a perfect beginning to such an amazing trip home.
