The best part of researching the Hedonists
Guide to Toronto was getting to stick her fork into the city
eclectic food scene, says U.K.-based writer Stephanie Plentl. She spent
four months here and continues to visit whenever the opportunity arises.
Last week, over a coffee in my Annex kitchen, Plentl shared some of her
latest and greatest Toronto meals.
416 Snack Bar: It’s cool, cozy, candlelit – and cutlery free. It
also serves upnuggets of deliciousness. Snack Bar: I salute you. http://416snackbar.wordpress.com
The Gabardine: It’s the suits choice for weekday lunch, but a little
whimsy and a lot of comfort food makes rubbingshoulders with pin-stripe
less painful. http://www.thegabardine.com
Momofoku: Offering a trio of restos with three degrees of
cheque-anxiety, the cheapest eats are in the downstairs Noodle Bar.Rice
cakes and ginger scallion noodlescome up trumps. http://momofuku.com/toronto/noodle-bar-to/
Barque: All Hail the Caesar – with sticky bacon bits on the rim,
it’s the best I’ve ever had. The BBQ menu offers sterling support. www.barque.ca
Grand Electric: Tacos took off and people formed an orderly line
outside this Parkdale hole-in-the-wall taqueria. Fun food. Loud music.
Good times. www.grandelectricbar.com
