  • After reading other favourable Yelp reviews, we picked Southern Accent as a new restaurant to try out for my boyfriend's birthday. Ever since we got back from our trip to New Orleans a year ago, we have held a lot of nostalgia for the city and it's delicious food. Let me preempt this review by saying: I have never been to or heard of another cajun/creole New Orleans-style restaurant in Toronto. I was so impressed when I heard about it, despite their unimpressive (outdated) website that I was going to try it no matter what the price was or what other Yelpers thought. You cannot hold this girl back from blackened chicken and a good cocktail. We sat under a very "Mardi Gras" themed set up. There were other tables with little tents over them, like a fortune teller's shop. Oh - there are even psychics you can talk to while waiting for your meal! Our waiter was patient and went through the specials with us. He took extra time to answer our questions about each dish and emphasized that all of their ingredients (including cocktail ingredients) were fresh. If they can't find fresh ingredients they won't make the dish. He was very personable and friendly and made lots of recommendations when asked. We ordered the blackened chicken with bok choi and jambalaya, beef brisket with garlic mash and collard greens and the tiger shrimp to start. Everything tasted incredibly flavourful and fresh - better than most of the food we had in New Orleans, actually! I have never had juicier blackened chicken (I find that most places tend to overcook it) and both the bok choi and collard greens were so rich in flavour I thought there was no way they were real vegetables. For drinks, we tried a Hurricane (how can you not?!) and a Bourbon sour. The drinks tasted fresh and well-made. All in all, a great birthday dinner and an even better find! They even have a great hot sauce selection which I found most restaurant in New Orleans to be lacking (surprising, right?). A few things I would have liked to see on the menu: shrimp and grits and po boys!
