We sought refuge here during a cold night in downtown Toronto; the helpful staff found a table for us despite no reservation.
The atmosphere is very casual, with exposed red brick walls and high ceilings. A small bar is located in the back corner, and a flatscreen TV is hung curiously out of view of the bar.
The menu is eclectic. Kangaroo sliders, Tibetan Dumplings and Bitterballen- a Dutch meatball appetizer are among the choices to start.
We split the Tibetan dumplings and Bitterballen and were impressed by each. The dumplings came with a gorgeous ginger chutney. The Bitterballen isn't your typical meatball, in the center is soft and almost creamy.
My wife had the grilled tofu and soba noodles, which she loved, but found the sundried tomatoes too chewy. I had the Kip Satay- the chicken plump and cooked perfectly, the peanut sauce as expected, but the fresh cut fries (the only way to cook a French Fry...) were disappointingly undercooked.
Nice wine list, and very efficient and friendly wait staff. We would return for sure.
