1/2 Price Wines on the Danforth

by Kato on April 5, 2011 in Food & Restaurants with No comments

“Our wines are half price today” said our skilled server as we got seated for brunch as the Globe Bistro. So I did what any hedonist would do – ordered $70 wine instead of my usual $35 price range. To hell with savings when there’s an opportunity to live it up. Sunday half price applies at dinner too.

I had the best brunch in years – a swine plate featuring pig six ways: sausage, house-smoked rasher, peameal bacon, pork confit, creton (pork spread) and maple crackling. My companions raved over their choices too and the fun service staff took some of the edge off the formal atmosphere. Come summer, check out the fab roof-top patio.

Great Food on Harbord Street

Harbord Street is semi-famous for its restaurants such as the elegant Splendido and Loire, modern bistros Messis and Harbord Room and gastropub Harbord House. But the best kept secret is a café/patisserie called Dessert Trends, or DT Bistro.

Located in a handsome building on the corner of Brunswick, it is an oasis of calmness and serenity with an Eastern aesthetic that is as joyful as the face of owner/Olympic chef, Don Doung. Go and enjoy very good espresso and croissants, perhaps the best almond croissant in the city. Soups, salads and sandwiches are tasty works of art, as are the desserts, homemade ice cream, wedding cakes and food products to go. Fantastic! Service can be slow – part of the experience.  Closed Mondays. Open for dinner Wednesday to Saturday too!
