| - For my money, Mitzi's Sister is my West End go-to if I'm on Queen West or around Parkdale. I was just reminded of this the other night.
The other night a few friends of mine whom I eat nachos with wanted to meet up (seriously -- this is one of the things we do together). They are new-ish Torontonians and our thing is we try a new place every subsequent time we meet up (previous stops have included Bryden's, the Mugshot, Nirvana and Sneaky Dee's). I was near Queen/Ossington so I suggested the Cadillac, which became our plan. Upon walking by, I realized the bar was too full so I suggested we reroute to the Sister.
My friends loved it for its affordable prices and its outstanding (and reasonably priced) food, which puts most pub grub in the city to incredible shame. The nachos were excellent and unique; the haddock taco, which I have been known to venture far, far away from home for, was perfect as usual; and the poutine was, well, you get the idea.
Sure, it's easy to enjoy yourself at a place on a slow, drizzly Sunday with warm friends and cold beers, but it's the Sister's impeccable selection(s) and lovely service that will keep me coming back -- and which has. For years.
Long live the Sister.
