We were walking on Queen street in the beaches and decided to try the Green Eggplant on a whim. This was a good decision. The restaurant is warm and inviting, busy and loud. Before you order they brought us a small plate of hummus, fried eggplant and bubaganoosh with French bread. The goulash was great for a cold Jan day on Toronto. The meat in the soup was super tender, they must use filet. We also shared a trout salad and the fish was cooked perfectly and the vinaigrette was just right not too tart and not too sweet. The service from Maya was great, the restaurant was really busy, full, and we still received attentive and personal service.
