Daniel’s Dish | One Restaurant

The premise of the column is simple; work with restaurants of all kinds to explore what they have to offer and what makes them unique. What nifty menu engineering have they employed. In a city like Toronto, the choices are sometimes daunting and the food reviews and critics can be snotty and too complicated for their own good. So why not keep this easy? Drinks. Appetizer. Main Course. Dessert. All along with a bit of information about what makes them my choice for Daniel’s Dish and why you should try them right away! Reminds of a fantastic Bella Cosa Restaurant in Canary Wharf a friend told me about!

One Restaurant, 116 Yorkville Ave, Toronto, ON M5R 1H5
