  • Huge portions for one with ample toppings and the injera in particular is so much larger in diameter and THICKER than what you can get downtown! I came here alone tonight to have a rendez-vous with food, my lifelong one true love. I love Ethiopian food, have tried a few different places in Toronto (all downtown so far) and in Philadelphia. Tonight I ordered the veggie (it's vegan!) combination platter for one ($13.99), which comes with 2 huge ass injeras and a dozen of toppings. To be honest, there's nothing more special about the toppings in terms of variety or taste here versus at other Ethiopian places I've tried so far. My favorite toppings were the collard greens (some may think it's bland, but I thought it was refreshing and less heavy so a nice change from the other chickpeas, potatoes, and beans-based toppings), something mildly spicy (maybe lentils or small beans?), and roasted beets! Very filling since you're eating plenty of carbs/starches (potatoes), fiber, and protein! Yes, Ethiopian food is so great for that protein and minerals + vitamins boost that vegetarians/vegans often need! Injera itself is made from teff, a whole grain that's loaded with nutritious vitamins, minerals like zinc, and protein. I ate everything by myself. Literally everything - both injeras in fact - and all the toppings. If you count calories, a vegetarian platter is around 1500 kcal (https://www.thestar.com/life/health_wellness/nutrition/2013/11/07/the_dish_vegetarian_platters_healthy_ingredients_undone_by_salt.html). Anyways, I was sooo stuffed, center of mass definitely altered making the walk back home very interesting. The one thing that sets Rendez-Vous apart from other Ethiopian restaurants I've tried so far is that the injeras are bigger and thicker. I'm not sure if they give free refills since I never asked, but I doubt you'll need any since the portions are so generous. Relatively fast service. Not a lot of staff and the ladies are always on their feet, working fast. They do have outdoor seating, but the inside seating, particularly deeper inside, are so cool and cultural. They do take credit card. And free WiFi from the nearby Starbucks :P
