The Green Wood is a cute eclectic restaurant in Leslieville and was on my list for a long time (I love finally checking restaurants off my list). I was smart and made a reservation for the Saturday and had already looked over the menu, they had so many good options.
I asked for the table by the window, and was seated at a long wooden communal table. The service was really good, and I was immediately served my coffee. My friend finally came and I gave her the run down of the menu. She decided to go for the Benny with Bacon & Avocado (you can make your own). I was there for the staple; Souk Fries and I also ordered the French Toast.
The Souk Fries are hand cut fries topped with grilled eggplant, sumac salad, tahini, fried egg and cripsy halloumi. I decided to forgo the Halloumi and I added brisket to mine. The French toast was cinnamon swirled brioche soaked in vanilla custard & topped with fruit.
I didn't try my friends Benny but check out my pictures, it looked amazing! My Souk Fries were okay, nothing that wowed me but the Brisket definitely added another load of flavor. The French Toast had great flavor but I wish it was fluffier.
Overall I had a really good experience here.
Keep Eating,
