With a boyfriend in Toronto, it's great that I get to explore the big city once and a while! This weekend was our first adventure to Kensington Market. We loved the lively feel and the brightly coloured shops.
We decided to check Yelp to see where would be a good place to go. Templeton's had some good reviews so we took a chance. We were unsure where to find it at first since there is no sign from what we could see. We checked the menu outside the door to make sure we had the right place. This place is so cozy inside. With their old world flair, velvet walls, and mismatched chairs, it has a ton of character.
The menu has a ton to offer with lots of different cuisines to try. At first I was going to go for the butternut squash soup since it was kind of a cool and blustery day but I opted in for the paella instead. My boyfriend got the bibimbap.
I would say this was probably the best paella I've had in a long time. Everything was cooked really nicely and the spices were just right. It was hot but not enough to make my lips hurt. Lots of meat in this one too which was good!
My boyfriend enjoyed his bibimbap a lot, his bowl was completely spotless when we were finished. The paella was a good helping so I got to bring some home for lunch the next day, score!
All and all, we will most likely be back soon since there was so much on the menu we wanted to try out!
