This was one of our first stops while visiting Toronto & it set our trip off right. We found Three Hands with the help of Yelp! and I was a little suspicious when I walked into a mostly empty bar (around 9pm). It was a small space and there were a few solo diners. We sat at the bar & found the bartender/only server present to be very friendly and helpful.
The menu was very small and eclectic, focusing on comfort foods. You can tell they put a lot of love and thought into the few options available. We had the collard greens poutine and jerk wings. The poutine was INCREDIBLE. It was like thanksgiving dinner over French fries. I will likely think about this dish for a long time when I remember my time in Toronto. The jerk wings were so.freaking.spicy!! I wish we had been warned. The wings were served with sliced scotch bonnet peppers on top and I dug right in.... To have my lips screaming. I love spicy food, but this was painful. We picked off the peppers and tried to enjoy the rest of the wings. The flavor was on point otherwise.
They offer canned beer (tallboys) and cocktails. The Pimms Cup was absolutely delicious. It was also very beautiful, garnished with julienned cucumber & sliced strawberries. Yum!
