It was our first time at the Golden Pheasant and have to say that we were impressed with the food…read more But what's more impressive, was the huge portion of their plates. The schnitzel that I ordered (Wiener Schnitzel) was enough to feed 3 people. Mine was with the potato salad that you pay an extra $2 (worth it in my opinion) or you could get it with rice and fries. It also comes with a salad. We also ordered the Potato Dumplings (Halusky) which brought memories of my trip to Slovakia a while ago. We also ordered some Pillsners Urkell to wash down our food. The schnitzel is a bit on the salty side so the Halusky, potato salad and salad provides a nice balance. The food took a very long time to arrive so that's something to be aware of. I'm not sure if it was a one off or if it's a regular occurrence. The food was worth the wait though. My advice will be to come as soon as they are open. The decor needs improvement but you are not coming here for the ambience. The food prices might seems expensive but when you compare it with the amount of food that you get, it's really not. There's parking at the back and the restaurant it's a bit lax about their opening time which is 5pm. We arrived at 5pm but needed to knock so they could open for us. It's in the same block as Dairy Cream so it was convenient for us. We did not finish our food as we were saving room for the ice cream. It's worth a visit if you are fan of schnitzels!

This is a cozy supermarket/restaurant that offers variety of Burek, grill, platters, and roasted meat. You can also buy cold deli, dairy products, snacks, frozen meat and burek, coffee, etc. from here. We ordered Chevap's (10p pieces) and cheese burek for our meal and Cupavi and Jabukova (they both include apples) for dessert. The portions of Chevap's were more than enough for one person; they comecwith onions and garlic sauce and 10 pieces would be $13.72. As for the Burek and desserts, they're priced according to their weight. The staff were friendly and patient with us, since we didn't know what to order. I also liked the vibe there; mostly senior people from their community come together here for a chat.

Very spacious for group dining, couples or solo! I definitely wanted to try the Shopska salad and the Cevapi (chevapi) plate so that's what I ordered and it did not disappoint!! A must-order is the bread called lepinja (lepin-ya). It comes with a fresh cheese called kajmak (k-eye-mak) The cevapi plate comes with your choice of 3 sides - coleslaw with oil/vinegar, potatoes, diced raw onions, or baked beans. Everything was fantastic. The cevapi were perfectly done. Lepinja and kajmak were amazing. Kajmak is home-made there, and you can buy some to go! Shopska salad features cucumbers, tomatoes, onions and green peppers in an oil/vinegar dressing with a mountain of shredded feta on top!!! Soooo good!!

We ordered lepinja sa kajmakom, which was a homestyle bread with cream cheese. This was the star dish of the night omg, priced at $5 for 4 pieces it instantly set the meal in the right direction! We then got the shopska salad which was a salad with tomato, cucumber, onion, green pepper, and feta. Salad was mid, but it was nice to have greens as our main was the mesano meso, a grilled meat platter for 4. This platter was so filling and had different varieties of meats. The best meat in this selection was the sausage, I unfortunately found everything else a little lacklustre. Service was great throughout the night, ambiance was nothing super special. Verdict: come for the homestyle bread!! Still thinking about it haha

Things we got: Challah Buns 5/5 - Freshly baked buns and you get to choose your one dip. Got the chicken liver mousse and it was topped with a cherry sauce. The chicken liver was so good paired with the warm fresh bread. Crispy Potato 4/5 - Crisp and fluffy potatoes. Thought they were cut a tad too large for my liking. Served with mensch sauce. Summer Tomato 4/5 - Simple, refreshing dish. Smoked fish tonnato, rye crouton and garden herbs. What makes the dish was the sauce and croutons! Poppyseed Endive Salad 3/5 - Thought this was just okay. Simple ingredients but was nothing too over the top or special. Can skip. Chicken Schnitzel 4/5 - Came with a fermented plum sauce on top which I thought was a tad too sweet to pair with the chicken schnitzel. Great crisp though. Trout 4/5 - Cooked well and came with asparagus on the side. Sour cherry mix soft serve 5/5 - LOVED this to end the meal. Tarte and tasty. Overall, this spot was good with simple ingredients curating their menu. Favourite of the night was the Challah buns and chicken liver mousse.

We went for a 5pm reservation and it filled up rather quickly. The host and all the servers were really wonderful and attentive. For a group of 3 they recommended 4 small plates and 2 large ones all to share. Something nice is that they have complimentary sparkling water which I enjoyed. We ordered the challah - both the butter and pâté versions - the BBQ salami, crispy potatoes, the turnips, the endive salad, and the chicken schnitzel. They brought out the bread and salami first as well as complimentary house-made coleslaw which was crispy, light, and added a perfect vinegary bite. The challah was warm and airy. I didn't try the butter but I thought the pâté was very nice and smooth. The BBQ salami was incredible!! The mustard was a nice compliment with the apricot flavour as well. The turnips, salad, and potatoes came next, followed quickly by the chicken. I loved everything. The pear in the salad was an unexpected highlight. The chicken was the standout for sure. I absolutely loved it. For dessert we tried the cheesecake which was nice, a good balance of tang and mild sweetness. The bathrooms are also nice with the little WC signs, the good paper towel, and the recipes in addition to other art prints on the walls. I don't normally comment on the washrooms, but these were cute. Overall, everything we ate was wonderful and the service was great! It came out to about $170 for us but we ordered the perfect amount. It was a bit pricey but I really enjoyed everything. I would highly recommend Maven.

This place is an absolute must try if you've never had Georgian cuisine. We also tried shkmeruli, which is roasted chicken leg quarters doused in the creamiest, most decadent garlic cream sauce.

Service was amazing, the waitstaff gave great hospitality and they all went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our experience. Shoutout to the girl who gave us a super fun tableside mixing presentation!! Try to get a table inside, however their street patio is nice to eat on when the weather is decent. Absolutely will be returning to try their lamb khinkali which unfortunately they were sold out of today. Prices were super reasonable for the amount of food we were served. There was even enough for leftovers between two girls who hadn't eaten all day & had smoked right before coming here.

I really enjoyed eating here. They make authentic pljeskavica and cevapi, served with tasty kajmak,…read morejust what I was missing after my adventure through the former Yugoslavian Republic. The restaurant owner greeted me and was very friendly, asking me about my trip to Bosnia and Croatia. He's actually a Serbian from Bosnia so this must be where the 'authentic' comes into play. Service was great and everything was clean. They have WiFi and there are several parking spots in front. As for the food, it's more expensive than many other cheap eats in the area, but it does have a higher-end ambience and the food tastes better too. I do wish the meat were a bit juicier though, but the kajmak (sour cream) and ajvar (non-spicy red sauce) do make up for it. I also wish that they had a sommun (pita-like) or any soft wrap-type bread rather than the thick and inflexible bread they used. They also serve more traditional diner favourites such as all-day breakfast and souvlaki. But go for the Balkan food.

Interesting fact: most people I know call it Baby (like the crying one) Point, but people who have lived in that area for generations call it "Bobby Point". Can anyone tell me which one is correct? Aside from that, if you are in the mood for some good, traditional, Ukrainian food, Baby Point (however you pronounce it) is a great choice.
