Had dinner here Saturday night at 7:30. Main floor was nice, bistro-like, bustling in a good way…read more Lively but not hectic. There's a downstairs too which looked good. Nice ambiance over all. We're not strict veg, we just like to lean that way most nights so we thought we'd check Bellona out. A lot of their menu has a choice between tapas size and full size so we tried a few things. Loved everything. The sliders were addictive. Attached is our bill. $99 including a bottle of wine and we were stuffed (and I'm 6'4" and have an appetite). Desserts looked good too but we were too full. The very nice owner chatted with us at the end and told us about the origin of the place (and that our great server was her daughter). Definitely very happy with this restaurant.

Unfortunately, we were 20-25mins late. I knew they only allowed a 15min window. We arrived and I did tell them if they still couldn't fit us in, then I understood. Long story short, they told us to wait 5-10mins and if the next reservation didn't show up, they could seat us. Luckily, we got seated. The staff was nice, the place is cozy and had good vibes. The food was good. The chocolate red wine cake for dessert was really good. I recommend this place.

I asked the cashier what her favourite protein was and she said it was the chorizo so I got that. The burrito came in a flour tortilla, red rice, chipotle cream, mozzarella, lettuce, and pinto beans and it was absolutely delicious. Everything just worked so well together. Service was very lovely as well. Although it's a takeout restaurant, if you dine in, they put on a silver tray and serve it to you. There's a couple of dine in seats. Will totally return to have another burrito.

Taqueria Vegana located near Dupont and Symington is the only place where you can get 100% plant…read morebased Mexican food. Serving a variety of plant based tacos, burritos, quesabirrias, as well as sharable items (think impossible nachos, guac and chips, quesadilla...), there is something for everyone even if you are a meat eater. They also have lunch specials you can take advantage of as well. This location is primarily take out only although they do have a few tables indoors and patio tables outside. I stopped by Taqueria Vegana on a weekday for lunch. There were already some customers waiting for their food but otherwise the place was not busy. I ordered a trio of tacos as well as a hibiscus Zamalek drink (from Montreal!). For the tacos I ordered: - Impossible chorizo (house-made impossible meat chorizo, charred onion, and potatoes) - Carne Asada (charred and perfectly seasoned texturized soy protein) - Seitan carnitas (braised seitan garnished with red pickled onion) The tacos came with 2 salsas and some limes as well. Staff were friendly and I ordered my tacos at the counter. I decided to eat on the patio and my food was made at a reasonable time (about 5 min wait). Staff brought out my food for me as well. Tacos wise, I enjoyed all the ones I ordered, however, my favourite was the impossible chorizo tacos. The salsas were spicy and flavourful as well. Overall, great new addition to the Junction Triangle. Definitely would return if I wanted some plant-based Mexican food!

The food has really gone down hill this past year. They used to have great fries, now they are…read moreskinny and always dry and many burnt. We asked for a simple dietary consideration and it was totally ignored. When we brought it to their attention, the chef just shrugged his shoulders and said it was a mis-communication. There was no attempt to make it up to us or try to make us feel better. They just did not care. We ended up paying for food that we could not eat. We will never go back.

There's paid street parking on both sides of the street. I did read a review that there's complimentary parking behind the restaurant though. Mai Bistro has a small patio out front that's covered and indoor seating as well. We opted to sit on the patio. Since it was our first time at the restaurant the waitress explained the various menus to us. There was a written menu for Today's Specials and some of them were crossed out. I'm guessing that those items have already sold out. I saw a photo of the menu from a couple of years ago and in comparing with the menu from the other day I can see that prices have increased for some dishes. To me, prices veer on the higher side. The grilled lemongrass pork with rice and asian slaw was $22 and the shrimp ceviche with fresh salsa and avocado on a crispy tortilla was $11. My Vietnamese style pork tacos were a good deal for $10. Even at the regular price of $14 the price isn't too different from tacos at other restaurants. The pork was flavourful and portions are like what I found from food trucks in LA (but leave you wanting more).

August 16/2026: Dinner with my Al…read more This was a disaster of a meal for me! I had the sausage roll ($18.00) to start. Not To my taste at all. For me the sausage had too much fennel spice & the bottom of the pastry was literally black (see pic). This was served to the table without an issue but I found it lacked the taste of a traditional English sausage roll. My main was the Sunday evening house special, Roast Beef. It was accompanied by mashed potatoes, mixed vegetables & Yorkshire pudding ($28.00). I asked for the beef to be medium/well. When it was delivered, the beef was WAY undercooked & the mashed were only lukewarm. When I returned the plate to the kitchen, it should have been redone & sent back to my table. Instead the beef was microwaved & the undercooked part of the original piece was simple left on the plate. The potatoes were then cold. I ended up sending the entire meal back & cut the dining experience short. This was disappointing all the way around. Our server "Dana" was decent & respectful & understood what the issues were. She was good enough to comp our meal & it was the right thing to do. We DID tip our server in spite of the kitchen issues.

Once inside the owners take incredible care of you with a wonderfully positive attitude and lots of chit chat and care. We both ordered the special, which was cashew chicken with rice noodles. We both really enjoyed this dish. The portion size was really large and it probably was enough for two meals but we finished it all because it was so good. My husband ordered the spring rolls with his combo and he said they were really good. Since I'm both gluten and lactose intolerant, I couldn't order the spring rolls but I was served a delicious side salad with a heavenly lemon vinaigrette. The salad dressing was so good I wish I could have bought a bottle to take home. lol Would we return? Absolutely!

The only thing is the mains were being served as individual combos vs sharing plates but we were fine with this. When we arrived there were only 2 tables left....one reserved for us and the other for another family. There was a line up outside for take out. After speaking to the people in line we found they were regulars and came often. One said the butter chicken was awesome, "like Christmas in your mouth":)) We had our Covid tests and I'd checked and then were seated. Hubby had the mango lassi and laziz chicken with rice and naan. He thoroughly enjoyed it. I had the yellow curry with rice and Thai garden salad. The salad had a nice homemade dressing that was sweet and refreshing. The curry was tasty and veggies cooked well. Nim, the owner, said her husband is the chef and her 2 daughters help out. They have had the restaurant for 15 years. Very lovely family. The only dessert is mango ice cream made by the chef but it is dairy based so we didn't have any. Excited to go back to try various items off their Indian and Thai menu.

A totally unexpected surprise…read more We were hankering for meatless/less heavy, and stumbled upon this charming Vietnamese restaurant. A tiny, family business who provide a quiet, serene and pleasant dining experience. NO MUSIC. BONUS! Spouse had the "bun bo Hue" and myself the "crab and fish maw". Hubby said that the taste and texture of the seitan (glutens) were on point. The "fish maw" in my crab soup had a perfect fish maw texture! We polished both off our dishes in record time and felt good about what we ate. I'm not a vegan but sometimes you just want something light and sustaining. HIGHLY recommend this restaurant. The owners/staff are nice to their customers.

I went to this restaurant with a group of six after a friend highly recommended it. When we first…read morewalked in, I immediately noticed the space was packed with way more tables and chairs than it could realistically handle. It felt a bit cramped, and with everyone turning to look at us, it was a little awkward- definitely one of those we just walked into the wrong party moments. Once we got seated, we were handed menus with numbers and asked to write down the codes for what we wanted. I wasn't super hungry, so I ordered the spicy tofu and spring rolls as appetizers, while the rest of the group ordered a variety of noodle dishes. One by one, the dishes started arriving, and I have to say, the portions were generous and everything I tasted was really flavorful. But then I kept waiting for my food, and by the time everyone else was nearly done eating, the server came over to say they had run out of crispy tofu. On top of that, we had ordered two spring rolls and only received one, even though we clearly marked "x2" on the sheet. At that point, it didn't make sense to order something else and wait another 20 minutes to eat alone, so I just ordered a spring roll and rice chicken roll to go. Overall, the noodle dishes were delicious and definitely something I'd come back for. But the restaurant could really use some improvements in organization, space management, and order accuracy.
