So for the first night on a recent trip to Toronto, I was trying to determine what to eat since many of the restaurants that I looked at online were serving various items that used ingredients that I had not taste for.
After leaving a local brew pub and walking back to my hotel figuring I would just eat in their dining room, I came across Carbon Bar.
Upon entering, I was greeted by an extremely friendly hostess who promptly seated me in the bar and my sever immediately came to see what I wanted to drink while I looked over the menu.
CB has a nice selection of drinks and for beer lovers, I found most of their craft beers were in bottles with a few American products which I decided to try the Flying Monkey Ale to start along with an order of their pork croquettes (excellent but the centers were still a little cold).
For my main coarse, I decided to try their BBQ beef brisket ...... holy smoke bomb going off in my mouth!!! This was like my own brisket I make at home in my wood smoker, flavorful, tender and moist. Served with a side of dill pickle chips and a nice tangy BBQ sauce that paired wonderfully with the brisket.
Besides the good and drinks, this is certainly a place to people watch since it was packed full of suits from the local offices hanging out after work.
Prices were a little high for the portions, but good BBQ is rarely cheap.
Definitely a place I recommend and will certainly visit again when I am in Toronto again.
