If you're looking for a unique experience, you've come to the right place.
Ethiopiques, located just outside of the hustle and bustle of Dundas Square, is a hidden gem in the midst of Toronto. Now I may be biased because I'm a colossal fan of spicy food, a main part of Ethiopiques carte du jour.
I absolutely loved how they do not use silverware. Your food comes out on a massive injera (flatbread) and is used for dipping. When you are there with someone else, it really brings you closer to the meal as well as closer to your companion. With a nice drink menu I would suggest a bottle of wine to pair alongside.
If you're looking for something new and exciting, give Ethiopiques a shot. Beware the timid.
