As another reviewer said "a hidden gem" tucked away in Leslieville restaurant row. It's a cozy space with amazing service, and simply outstanding food. The best lamb shank I have ever eaten; the braised short rib poutine is sinfully delicious; and the calamari is wonderful (pork cheeks and bruschetta are also outstanding)! I have been several times, for several special occasions and all of the guests that I have introduced to Braised just loved it and are now regulars. It is now my go to place in the hood! You just can't go wrong...
