We were here for our friends birthday. I really like the atmosphere of Shops of Don Mills...it's like a vibrant, lively collection of outdoor shops on streets. There was this centre field of grass with lights strung above. It was kind of difficult finding the restaurant since there were many similar ones and I couldn't find a directory. We wanted to sit on the patio since it was a beautiful warm day, but they couldn't seat a big group of 8. We ended up inside which wasn't too bad but it had very dim lighting. When we were ordering and waiting for our food, there was dessert being served to another table and it smelled so good like freshly baked cookies.
Everything on the menu is quite pricey. I ordered the small pot of a la snob mussels and frites which also came with a freshly baked baguette. They accidentally mixed up my order and served me a large pot (without charging me the difference of $3 of course). By the way, the large is literally double the size (maybe there were 40 mussles) and I think its meant to be shareable. All the shells had meat in it which was a nice surprise. The mussels were cooked well. I wasn't blown away by the broth as I could barely taste the lobster and it was kind of watered down. The huge pieces of slightly bland leeks and tomatoes didn't really add much flavour but did contribute some unneeded textures to it. The fries were mediocre, not crispy enough, but the baguette did taste very fresh and baked in house. I didn't get an alcoholic beverage but the menu for that was quite extensive.
