We visited Wvrst Union Station and tried their sampler sausage platter, which included chorizo, calabrese, bratwurst, Italian, kranjska, and even an elk sausage. The sampler was a great way to try several flavours at once, and all the sausages we tasted were delicious and satisfying. The space has a relaxed and lively atmosphere, similar to a European-style beer hall, and it works well for a quick stop or casual meal inside Union Station.

The lunch was OK. On one side, I love all kinds of fermented food and Central European cuisine. So,…read moreI'm the perfect target audience for a place like this. On the other, I couldn't even finish my plate, so it tells you something. The options at this place are rather limited. I ordered roasted pork belly (porchetta) with fries. To my liking, the belly was too hard, it had too much fat and 1 million calories. Non-alcoholic beer was just OK, nothing special. The atmosphere was not pleasant either. Benches are hard and inconvenient. - I assume, they draw inspiration from Octoberfest, but that doesn't help. The place is also too dark for my liking.

Go! Now! Ask for Emily!…read more 4 of us stopped in for a quick beverage on a gloomy, rainy, winter Toronto afternoon. 3 hours later we left a happy bunch with sunshine in our hearts from such a wonderful afternoon at Craft Beer Market. Sitting at the expansive bar, Emily exuded friendliness and kindness, guiding us through the endless list of beers and cocktails. Attentive and friendly, she served our drinks with an ear to ear smile, round after round. We look forward to returning for more drinks in the future and to give their food a try. Until then, we will relish in the memory of great drinks and exceptional service. Thanks, Emily!!

We have visited Beerbistro twice, and we love it. A few quick notes first. First, we live in…read moreRochester, NY. Otherwise, we would have visited Beerbistro more often. Second, "we" is not the royal we; I'm referring to my family. Lastly, the same "we" has visited Belgium many times and is very familiar with all the goodies they offer in terms of food, drinks and most importantly, chocolate. Too bad Beerbistro doesn't offer chocolates. If they did, I'm sure it would as good their mussels, frites and every other dish we have tried so far. Service is great. Prices are reasonable. Ambiance is nice. Parking is tricky. Enjoy!

We decided to check out this rather innocuous looking pizza spot near my husband's office one…read morenight, and we were happy with our experience. The room is small, and the service was friendly. We shared a Caesar salad to start, which was simple but good. We had the duck confit white pizza and the Iberian red pizza. They were both quite tasty, and I reheated them the next morning on the frying pan for breakfast! They had some decent wines to choose from as well. Overall, we were both impressed with the good simple pizza. I think we've both kind of reached a saturation point with pretentious pizza spots, so this was a nice find in the middle of the financial district.

We were staying at a hotel nearby and picked this Italian restaurant within walking distance…read more It's a cozy small restaurant with a small bar area. The food overall was fantastic: Caesar Salad - 4/5 very good, with crispy prosciutto and shaved Parmesan. The dressing had a tangy kick but was on the lighter side. Spaghetti Seafood - 5/5 YUMMY! There were large tiger shrimp, clams, mussels, calamari, and salmon in a white wine tomato sauce. So good, loved the variety of seafood. One of better seafood pasta dishes I've had. Mushroom Mafalda - 5/5 HEAVEN! Mafalda pasta with four different mushrooms: cremini, oyster, portobello, and porcini. It's cooked in a truffle cream sauce and is a mushroom lover's dream! Absolutely delicious. The server was friendly but not attentive. She forgot a beer we ordered. Aside from that the food was overall so good I would most definitely come back again.

17 Tiles Board Games & Mahjong Cafe is a board games and cafe (drinks, mocktails, and finger food,…read morecandies). It opened at the end of Mar 2023. The second floor has the board games and cafe. The third floor is the Mahjong. We played many different board games. There are 2 big cabinets of board games. There should be more. We ordered the following food: 1. Hanamikoji Mocktail ($9.99). 2. Treasure of Sumatra Mocktail ($8.99). 3. Teddy Bear Milk Tea ($6.99). 4. Flat White (small $4.99). 5. Potato Wedges ($6.99). 6. Chicken Tenders ($9.99). 7. 17 Tiles Dusted Wings ($14.99) with Chipotle Mango sauce. The mocktails were pretty and tasty. The Teedy Bear is made of ice. All the food was good, except the batter on the Chicken Tenders was too thick; the chicken was tender. The service was good. For 3 people, our games and food totaled $86.93. I toured the Mahjong rooms on the third floor out of curiosity. The setup was good. To play unlimited board games, it costs $3/p. To play in private Mahjong rooms, it costs $20/h/p. For VIP Mahjong rooms (including drinks), it costs $30/h/p. For wheelchair accessibility, you must enter an elevator at the back of the building. There is free WiFi. The place is wheelchair accessible. On each floor, there are separate male/female washrooms and one gender-neutral washroom that is wheelchair accessible. There is paid neighbourhood street parking.

We had a bit of a wait before dinner so we hopped in here for a drink. It was relatively quiet with…read moreonly a couple tables filled and no one at the bar. We ordered the Lychee Bliss and Smokey Sapphire. It took almost 20 mins before we received our drinks and by the time we got it, our dinner table was ready. My lychee drink was quite good and tasted like a mild flavored lychee. My only complaint is they added a large ice cube in the coupe martini glass which I have never had before in all the martini style glasses of cocktails I've had (very odd to us). It left very little room for the actual liquid which only gave me a few sips. My partner did enjoy his at least.. Besides the long wait and downside of the added ice in my drink, the bartenders were great and the space inside was quite nice.

Their drinks are high class with expertly crafted flavor profiles incorporating flavors from around the world covering a wide range of palettes, and matching aesthetic. Highly recommend checking their menu out! (Saffron Spice: A+) - This is THE cocktail of Bar Maaya, highlighted by the mesmerizing fire show wrapped around the cocktail. I was pleasantly surprised by the forward saffron flavor given the subtleness of the spice; this is a spotlight cocktail well done. (Smokey Trails: A) - Another experience-based cocktail filled with smoke and served on the rocks using their custom engraved temple eye ice cube. The flavor profile is just a classic mezcal with a dash of smoke, but this is also done well to be easy on the palette.

We came on a Sunday night, so it wasn't too busy and there was plenty of space. The ordering setup is pretty straightforward. You order food at the counter and drinks separately at the bar. We tried the duck sausage as a currywurst, and it was fantastic. You can also get it on a bun, but I really enjoyed it currywurst style. We also ordered both the dirty duck fries and the duck fat fries. If you're deciding between the two, I'd go with the duck fat fries. They were simple but so good. We shared the pickled vegetable platter with radish, sauerkraut, and beets. I wished the radish had a little more crunch, but the sauerkraut was really tasty. The beets were good, though they didn't taste especially pickled to me. The drinks were great too. They have a huge beer selection, but I ended up getting a couple of ciders that honestly tasted more like wine, which I loved. Fun atmosphere, good food, and a great spot for larger groups.

It is in the Queens Quay Terminal mall attached to Farm Boy. The prices are reasonable and portion size generous. I had the Joe bowl with hand pulled chicken, rice, beans, avocado, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese - one of the "healthier" options on the menu (well, not deep fried at least!). My DC had the special which was a chicken parmigiana that comes with a side Caesar salad. I imagine this place is packed in the summer, but on a winter weekday lunch, it was not busy at all so service was fast and efficient. They have happy hour drink specials. Nothing to write home about, but a reasonable option if looking for a satisfying meal in this area.
