It is ages since I enjoyed an incredible dinner at Canoe Restaurant and had wanted to try other restaurants in this group. On this visit I planned to meet a friend to discuss next year's upcoming high school reunion back in Cape Town and a quiet relaxed lunch at this downtown restaurant seemed just the place.

After a 25 minute walk in the blazing Toronto sun, the busy outdoor patio was less appealing than a booth in the cool interior, so that's what we requested.

We had lots to talk about and enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and the efficient and unobtrusive service. 

My friend ordered the macaroni and cheese and declared it excellent. With my more carnivorous tastes I  opted for the char-grilled flat iron steak, served with sweet potato fries, and braised summer greens. Also excellent,

A coffee for my friend and a  decaffeinated cappuccino for me was a nice end to the meal. Another positive Toronto dining experience.
