OT: Restaurant thread

[SLAYER]

we found a really good East Indian place on Regent called Chilis.

Red Chilis is good! You should also check out "Cilantros" on Gateway as well, they are a fantastic local East Indian place; currently my favourite in the city.

tried Spicy Indian Grill on Osborne (right by Carlos & Murphys) couple weeks back.... i've had lots of indian food in my life time, but this was one of the best Tandoori Chicken and Fish Pakora dishes ive had. Granted, i had it at like 1AM and it was prepared fresh, & i had a few bevvys in me....so might have skewed things a bit

I miss Buff.

Anyone know of casualties to Covid? There was a Korean place I frequented in the Exchange that isn't there any longer but I honestly don't know when they closed their doors. They may or may not have been a Covid casualty.

White Star Diner has seemingly survived thankfully. Roblin Grill as well though it was touch and go. Actually it was for both owners. Love both establishment, but neither is what one would refer to as health food.

I haven't looked at the burger week menu yet but is there anything catching people's eyes to try?

It's Le Burger Fortnight this year but the restaurant offerings aren't up yet.

k folks. can confirm, the bevvys+1am+freshness skewed things a bit..... was still good, but def got the late-night bump

This one, with some sort of feta disc, might be a try.


This one is...weird.


Etc, etc.

We are looking for a restaurant that has a private room for 12 people. We're holding our annual draft and I need some recommendations!

Haven't been to Maxime's in a long time...it wasn't very good the last couple times

Agreed. Has gone very down hill

I did a fantasy football draft at Canadian Brewhouse yearssss ago. They hooked it up with some deals on drinks and food. Not sure how It'd be now, but call and ask. It's a sports bar.

Brazen Hall and Bailey's are a couple options.

We tried Gol's Lanzhou Noodle on Pembina.
Pretty much the best Asian noodles I've had!
Excellent! Cannot wait for my return!

Can vouch for Tony's pizza, it had an iffy few years but is back to top form now.

Back in the 80's that my was early am weekend go-to. Incredible every time. Drunk yes. High yes. Normal yes. Unusual yes. In-between yes. Great to hear it still incredible!

 

[GumbyCan2]

Yup, I always include a little chocolate or cocoa powder when I make a vat of my famous (among my family) chili. I've also been known to throw in some coffee to add depth and cola to add a little sweetness when needed.

Where's the Newfie Screech dark Rum, man. Injustice without it! Hee, hee, hee...lols

Any recommendations in st James/polo park area this weekend? Pizza, burgers, ethnic food, don't care.

Edit: something a bit lesser known would be ideal.

Underdogs is really good and a fun atmosphere. At least it was 2 years ago when I was last there (live out of town and Covid)

Been there to much haha. Kind of liking for something under the radar.

I am heading to a dry run at Nola tonight in StB. New place, very creative chef, and I am friends with her business partner who owns King and Bannatyne as well.

 

[Wolf357]

Gotta say… Clementines in The Exchange is fantastic… it’s really a hipster douchy breakfast kinda place… but I tell ya the food is superb… the thick cut braised bacon Benedict was a absolutely insanity of awesomeness …
The chicken and waffles also stupid good….

Fortune Cooking on St James is my favorite Chinese in the city. Snow and Moon right beside it is a Korean dessert cafe with amazing iced cream creations. Olympia Diner on portage ave has great Greek food. D-Jays/Ichabods on portage ave is a real good pizza/wing/burger joint. A few ideas anyways.

Super Boys a couple nights ago, meat tasted a little funky….not impressed, was my go to burger joint?
