  • I first came to know about Bannock from the Taste of Toronto. Their featured dish at the festival was the Duck Poutine and based on the previous Yelp reviews, it still seems like a popular dish at the restaurant. We came here as a group of three and made reservation for lunch. They didn't have any spots available at noon so we took the earlier one at 11. The restaurant wasn't busy when we came but it was packed by the time we left it. I'd recommend making a reservation here before coming. The waiter said dinner time is the craziest here. I ordered the Bannock Bannock as I wanted to try something different from the duck poutine and I thought it may be special since it shares the name of the restaurant. The dish itself came in as a flat-bread sandwich and was served with taro chips on the sides. (*Note: I later discovered that bannock is a type of flat quick break originating from Northern England/Scotland; hence the flat-bread sandwich) The taro chips were an interesting substitute for your typical fries. It was hard to tell whether the they were baked or fried as they were both oily and the starch texture did have some crispiness. They gave me a hearty portion on the sandwich's part which I guess is true to the restaurant's slogan of offering "Canadian comfort food". I ended up only finishing half of it as i wanted to avoid having food-itis at work afterwards. Given it was one of the cheaper items on the menu ($15), I was happy with the bargain I got on this dish. The salmon filling was a bit of a disappointment since I could barely taste the smokey flavour. The texture reminded me of the salmon hollandaise that people get at a weekend brunch, minus the egg part ofc. Service and atmosphere was okay. All of their furnishings were wooden and they had large tables that catered specially to bigger groups. The dim lighting provided a home-y feel, especially in the areas around those large tables where it looked like a corner from someone's dining room. The kitchen was open-concept and you can watch all the actions in there when you walk from the cafe side. Apparently, there is also a pastry upstairs that makes the desserts for the cafe. It would be cool if that can be open up to the public. I would return and try their other dishes. Since the portions here are typically big, it's worthwhile to come here in big groups. For those that want to try the duck poutine pizza, It actually came in exactly as how it's named - poutine served on pizza. It probably could get even more popular if people were given the option to take it without the pizza.
