    It is not easy to find a place that makes hospitality and conviviality a way of life, I found a smiling kitchen staff and friendly service attentive and knowledgeable. Great cocktails despite the fact that I asked off the menu, the sharing cuisine had the right contrasts in textures and well balanced flavors. See you soon and thanks to claire who despite her pregnancy was super kind and super professional

    Absolutely stunning. Easily the best meal we've had since visiting Legume in Seoul, and definitely in our top three restaurants post-pandemic (it's hard to remember pre-pandemic so I don't like going back that far). In North America, it may even be the best one! The restaurant is quite small -- 20 seats total (I counted!), of which two are four-tops and the rest two-tops, so a total of 8 tables. The evening we were there, there were a total of two front-of-house people we interacted with, both of whom were knowledgeable and friendly. The presentation, flavors, and variety of the food were all superb. This is how vegan food is meant to be, truly! We did the five-course meal, which was quite filling. That said, the next time we visit Toronto we're already thinking of how to do the eight-course -- skip breakfast; ask for just one plate for certain dishes; ...? Highly, highly recommend!
