nota bene, 180 Queen Street West (416) 977-6400

I haven’t ventured down Queen Street West when it comes to Daniel’s Dish, and I felt it was time to visit this part of Toronto. Nota Bene is one of those spaces I’ve been meaning to visit for quite some time now; with their signature yellow accents on the fascade of the building and located in the hub of the city core, this restaurant has made a name for itself as one of the best.

Ardor Bistro, 59 Ossington Avenue (647) 351-5100

The Ossington Village is one of my favourite spots because it offers some of the best restaurants in the city alongside a sense of comradery and community. One of the latest additions to the Ossington strip is the Peruvian-inspired Ardor Bistro. The sister restaurant to Celestin located in Davisville (which I hope to visit for a Daniel’s Dish soon!), Ardor Bistro fits in beautifully in this trendy neighbourhood. Nestled between a Pho Restaurant and the crazy construction of Toronto, the space is complemented by exposed red brick, hard wood floors and candle light during dinner service. Simplicity is key, and to be honest the space is still evolving as it grows into the newest trend-setter on the street. Continue reading “Daniel’s Dish | Ardor Bistro”
