    Cocktails
    Anushka C.

    A neat little bar on Gerrard that pleasantly surprised us with their cocktails. The servers are friendly and the service is great. I ordered a chai gin and highly recommend it if you are a gin person. The truffle fries are great as well. The other drinks were nice too and I am glad we caved upon the place.

    the shrimp I was talking about
    Deb E.

    Food was amazing! the shrimp was to die for. I just wish it comes with more but other than that it was phenomenal! the burrata might need a lil maldon salt but it is still good. empanadas were tasty just a bit on the dry side tho. Duck was so tender and juicy, the orange puree matched with it perfectly. Restaurant ambiance was exceptional, it's like eating out in a small town where everyone knows each other. Make sure to check out Gardel when you're around the area. Kudos to Chef Luiz on revamping the menu.

    Steak Frites...meat so overcooked it was grey
    Tina T.

    Excellent cocktails; too bad about the food. My husband ordered the steak frites and it was so overcooked that it was grey. Service was almost absent. It's a wine bar, and we would have liked to have had some wine with our dinner, but the server never came by our table again after we finished our cocktails, so we never had a chance to order any more drinks. A real missed opportunity.

    We came here for dinner last night and really enjoyed the food especially the yuca gnocchi. Also the service here is 5 star plus! If I could give more stars I would. One of our dishes had some sort of plastic and when we told the manager she apologized and wanted to comp the whole bill for us. We told her not to do that because we understand it's the pandemic and it's a hard time for restaurants. They did comp some of our dishes and when we left the restaurant she ran after us asking if we wanted dessert on the house. Really the service here is amazing and I don't I've ever met a restaurant with service like this. Going to restaurants is not only the experience of enjoying good food but the service is just as important!

    Came here for dinner before heading to history for a concert…read more Made reservations on open table and the team was very accommodating. We all had a different pasta dish (group of 4) and it was fresh and delicious- no one had left overs. It's a very well decorated place and the service was fab

    The Experience Tulia Osteria is our go‑to for meaningful…read morecelebrations--even if it means a drive across Toronto. Nestled on Queen East, its warm, wood-fired vibe makes every visit special. The Favorites We kicked things off with their saffron‑kissed Arancini--bite‑sized spheres of rice and smoked mozzarella, godsends dipped into bright tomato-marinara and pesto. Next came the Pizzano pizza: a perfectly blistered crust layered with pepperoni, Calabrian chilies, fior di latte, hot honey drizzle, and aged Parmigiano--an addictive balance of sweet‑heat and savory richness. The pillowy Gnocchi arrived next--smothered in butternut squash purée, earthy wild mushrooms, hazelnuts, sage brown‑butter, and a final snow of Parmigiano. And the Fritto Misto was a crunchy delight: lightly breaded shrimp, calamari, scallops, all perked up with zesty lemon‑caper aioli. Setting the Tone We started with cocktails, which hit the right note--elegant, balanced, and a little unexpected. They added a celebratory lift that carried right into the meal. Service was smooth and welcoming, striking that hard-to-nail mix of polish and warmth.

Huge, dense, custardy, creamy. A tad pricey but worth it. Also got coffee which was pretty standard. Not sure what this place is like as a bistro and wine bar. But as a bakery, it's definitely worth a stop!

    I have meant to come here for quite some time but never had a chance until now. Their open hours…read moreare a bit odd, close early afternoon (2 pm on Wed & Thurs, until 3 pm on Sat & Sun), and Mon & Tues are closed. As I commute from the Durham region on weekdays, Friday is the only day that opens later time (7:30), and I finally got the chance to try the food on a Friday afternoon! I bought - Olive loaf - Croissant (plain)] - Fig tart - Pear tart - Pâté en croute The olive loaf had a loooot of olives in it. It tastes great by itself, but I dipped it in good olive oil and balsamic. Great!!! The croissant was light, airy, and flaky. Nice butter flavor follows the bite. Fig tart and pear tart had a lot of fruits in them, not too sweet, which I appreciated. They do not cover the taste up with cream fillings and extract the ingredients' character and best texture/flavors/tastes. Also had a good buttery kick! Pate en croute has a lovely looking. The color of cranberries and pistachio makes it look festive & gorgeous. This savory food comes with slices of pickles which had a naturally sour, gentle flavor, which gave it a refreshing spike. They had a lot of wines as well, if you are a wine lover, you want to check this place out. They had beers as well for a beer lover like me :) Of course, I got a can of IPA from Merit brewery in Hamilton. I have never seen it before at any LCBO around here, excited! I hope to have a chance to visit here again sometime soon!

    Got seated at the window even though there were empty tables for 2, but it was fine. Just not…read morespacious enough for the amount of food we ordered. They did stagger all our dishes though. Server was friendly and even brought out some chocolates at the end of our meal after having overheard my friend and I talking about her birthday. We got the house wine, which was on the sweeter side but I loved it. We also got the grilled focaccia, burrata, Argentinian shrimp, ravioli, and tonarelli. The focaccia was 3 big pieces and not very oily, which was nice. The burrata looked like only half a burrata but came with this praline crumble, which was delicious. The Argentinian shrimp was my favorite dish - it had Asian flavors with a dominant ginger flavor. The ravioli had massive amounts of walnuts on it and was like having dessert pasta. I wish it had come out at the end, but we ended with the tonarelli, which had a nice salty seafood flavor with the clams. There's not a whole lot of clams in it but it had great flavor. I'd definitely come back for their meat dishes next time.

Although we noticed most tables ordered their Olives & Focaccia bread appies...we decided to dive into something different: Hokkaido scallop (3.5/5)- refreshing with a mild cucumber and strawberry taste complimenting the sea scallopy flavours. Ontario zucchini (3.5/5) - another refreshing appie that plays homage to what's in season. Very light flavours, a bit of lemon, ricotta & pine nuts for interest. Broccoli and cashew butter (5/5) - love all the flavours, components & textures with this one. Especially with that Parmesan crisps! Corn & Bacon jam Agnolotti (5/5) - the corn...IT'S GOT THE JUICE! Pockets of pure sweet corn bliss wrapped in thin beautifully done pasta. Stunning colours in this dish. Campanelle & lamb sausage (4/5) - loved this savoury pasta dish, nice contrast to the sweeter corn pasta we had. Everything worked well together and the nuttiness of the arugula balanced it. Vanilla cheesecake with Shiso (5/5) - the lightest fluffiest cheesecake and I enjoyed the refreshing shiso mouse separately as well. I also appreciated their dishes were priced reasonably and didn't cost an astronomical amount! Looking forward to coming back already.

    Greektown, Riverdale

    Very solid place that one probably had a similar experience if they went there 20 years ago…read more I had the moussaka and it was just what I wanted. The rice was actually a lot better than I expected. I know it's just a side, but rice at times from other Greek places isn't that great, and this was much better. My wife had the mix grill plate, and I helped. She absolutely loved the lamb. It was largely over the quality and the prep was fairly standard, but there's nothing wrong with that. The other parts didn't jump out, but were still perfectly good. The service was very attentive.

    Having had moussaka ($33.95) at more chain-like Greek restaurants, Pantheon's version is lighter…read moreand fresher tasting. The potato layer feels fluffy and sandwiches thinly sliced eggplant, so the aubergine is rather pronounced. The ground beef mixture wasn't overly spiced and even the bechamel sauce was a thin layer, so it toasts the top but doesn't saturate the slice. Ultimately, it's not heavy so you could get through a full portion. A flaming saganaki ($19.95), the pan fried kefalotiri cheese, is a staple in Canadian Greek restaurants. It seems touristy to order but there's something endearing about setting a piece of cheese on fire and yelling "opa"! For me, the dish is more for the atmosphere than taste. Pantheon pan fries the cheese well, so it develops a crust even prior to flambeeing and serves it as a thick gooey slice. If only the accompanying bread wasn't so dry and mealy, a good saganaki calls for a better complement. Almost all their mains arrive with a sizeable Greek side salad that's smartly served first containing ample amounts of crumbled feta and some tomato, cucumbers, and onion over romaine. Their dressing is different, tamer and while still acidic there's a sweetness to it. Not sure, but perhaps they use a red wine vinegar and then blend the ingredients together so it's better combined? With the fishkebob souvlaki ($36.95) I was expecting fish, but it's really a seafood kebob containing shrimp, calamari and mushroom. It's cooked well with a faint grilled aroma, very tender, and lightly salted. Sadly, my steamed vegetables were merely carrots and didn't have the delicious garlicky green beans included on my friends' plates. Luckily, there was plenty with the moussaka so I could augment mine. At least there was an ample portion of roasted lemon potatoes that were soft and fluffy with a refreshing pronounced citrus finish. Pantheon doesn't skimp on the lamb chops that arrive with the entrée. And if you can't decide on what protein you'd like, their menu also offers some as add-ons. The lamb chop by the piece ($11.95) was bit gamier than I'd like but was cooked to a perfect medium doneness. A complimentary honey cake arrives for the table and is almost like having baklava in cake form. Just watch out, as the moist crumbly cake is difficult to pick up with a fork. Don't waste a bit of this delicious dessert, just use your fingers.

Dishes that stood out for me was fries & creme caramel. Thin cut beef fat fries were so divine and Creme caramel was very rich and enjoyable with a hint of grand manier. Roasted chicken leg with cream sauce($21) It was literally one chicken leg with rich white wine cream sauce. I guess to complete meal you can order salad($9)or ratatouille($9)and fries($8)on the side. I read so many good feedback about beef tartare($17) but unfortunately I did not even notice that it was mixed with salted egg york until I read it on the menu later on. It was done very classical way which was nice but it did not blow me away. Lastly for chocolate mouse($12) it was very rich dark chocolate with a big portion. Overall atmosphere was very comfortable. Only thing was their open kitchen is right at the bar side, you can smell everything they cook. I loved to smell gruyere cheese from gougères so much however when they were grilling pepper steak, it made us and next table sneezing so much. Just be aware.

Standout dishes to me were the steak tartare…read more(the salted egg yolk gave it an interesting bite) and the mussels (got the one with the apple cider, bacon and onions, and it was delicious). I found the beef bourguinion just ok (small portion, beef only tender-ish, would have liked more sauce) and would pass on the bread (pricey and average tastewise). Dessert (chocolate mousse) was small but really rich, so I liked it. Place has an elevated casual vibe to it. Service is friendly and efficient. It gets crowded so reservations recommended.
