Table 17 is a quaint find in Leslieville village perfect for a good catch up with your girlfriends or a dinner date. The restaurant is divided into two rooms - the first room you walk into features a long bar and some seating and the room towards the side which we get seated in, is simple, farmhouse chic. The menu has amazing sharing plates and we do choose a couple to start with.
We were very impressed with the presentation of the polenta du jour dish. This is a must at Table 17! The fluffy, white polenta, dished out on a wooden cutting board was accompanied by the chef who ladled a "ragu" of steaming lamb on top of it. There was chili and dried basil on little spoons for more flavour. It was heart-warming, a generous portion - ideal for our group of 3. The lamb ragu was flavourful and the polenta with some grated Parmesan cheese and cracked pepper was still light as air.
As a note, Sundays and Mondays it's bring your own wine with no corkage fees with decent prix fix menu on offer
