The food was really not that good. The appetizer was a cauliflower dish and it was so crunchy it was like it wasn't cooked. The main was basically spaghetti, which I can make better at home. I like to go out to get plant based food that I can't make at home. The tiramisu and the drink were good. They also charge you a discretionary fee. I would be glad to tip, but don't just add a fee on my bill. Not worth the $79/USD.

Little Bay is one of those neighbourhood restaurants that you wish was in your neighbourhood. It's…read morequirky and cosy; the food is good, the service is friendly; and the bill will make your jaw drop - but in a good way. I was taken there recently by a friend who lives nearby. The exterior doesn't prepare you for what you find inside - not that much could. What you find is an intimate space, decorated in dark reds with baroque panels, rather like the sort of small 18th century opera house you might find in Prague or Salzburg. There are even little balcony "boxes" with tables accessed by vertiginous stairs (NB not good for long legged or tall people). The food is a mixture of French and modern European. There are vegetarian starters and mains, but the menu is heavy on throroughly meaty dishes, such as char-grill Lamb Steak, with crushed new potatoes, julienne vegetables and green peppercorn sauce, or chicken breast stuffed with minted minced lamb, herbal mash and Port wine sauce. I had the grilled Portobello mushroom, prepared with garlic and served with spinach and a roast pepper sauce; followed by roast aubergine strudel, stuffed with grilled asparagus and ricotta cheese, served with French beans and a tomato and basil sauce. Service was very pleasant throughout and I like the fact that they don't charge for a basket of bread. The prices vary depending on whether you book before or after 7pm; you'll save a pound on the starter and a couple of pounds on the main course if you go before. We had a very decent French vin de pays as the house wine. Pleasanter still was the bill - £55 (including service) for three people each having two courses, after 7pm. I'll definitely go back - or maybe try one of their other branches...

The mains were so good. We had the Korean fried chicken burger (which was HUGE, by the way), the beetroot burger, and the tofu salad. The burgers were very good, but boy, when I took a bite of my friend's salad, I fell in love. It was refreshing, the flavors were yum, and I'm drooling a bit rn thinking about it.

The scones were buttery and the clotted cream and berry compote was divine. The sandwiches were alright, but my favorite was the one on rye bread with onion chutney. The desserts weren't that sweet either but by the time I got to the desserts I was too full. So you better be starving when you come. The experience is worth the price and they were very attentive with their service. Order hot tea to go with it. It'll help with your digestion after eating so much!

They have a decent variety of treats (wheat-free sunflower seed flapjacks, wheat-free sesame seed flapjacks, 'chocolate nut slices', sugar-free apricot & almond slices, sugar-free date & lemon slices, pecan pie, etc.), with some looking more appetizing than others... It took me a while to decide, but I ended up getting a raspberry & almond slice, The lady at the cash register was nice - I asked if I could have the big corner piece and she said, 'Of course'. Ha. It was tasty but somehow quite greasy, as the brown bag it was placed in was stained in oil within 5 minutes... I'm trying the pecan pie next time, as it looked amazing, sumptuous, etc.

Not many veggie options - but then it's not billed as a veggie restaurant. The burgers are variable, as is much of the food. If you're lucky it can be great - if not, not! The staff can be pleasant - sometimes. One thing that really annoyed me was they charged a couple of £ for tap water! Tap water! When I queried this they said it was "because its filtered tap water". If you're in Queen's Park there are far better places to enjoy in the same price range! Jazz on the weekend can be good - although the volume level is high. If it's really sunny and summery and you can get one of the outside wicker chairs and tables then it's a very good place to grab some bloody mary's and coffee to come back to life after a big night out - but in IMHO this place has gone downhill.

Very light and airy - feels like the outdoors even when you're sitting inside. What particularly struck me was the exceptional service. Despite being busy, I was greeted almost immediately on arrival and shown to my table. My order was taken equally quickly, my juice and coffee arrived within minutes, and about 5 minutes after that, my brunch arrived. Very efficient, but also friendly. As for the food, I ordered the English breakfast, which came with two eggs (I substituted fried for poached, which was not a problem ), bacon, pork sausage, a good helping of mushrooms, roast tomato, great fries, and a slice of toast. While it was tasty, there was nothing exceptional about it - just a good solid breakfast. I didn't try anything else but saw some burgers come out that looked appetising. I would definitely recommend this if you were after a good quality brunch and short on time. The last place I had brunch took 90 minutes - and I hadn't intended to linger - just the service was lousy. At Hugo's I was in and out in 30 minutes, though didn't feel rushed at all. It would be equally comfortable to spend a lazy hour and enjoy a second cup of coffee. I'll definitely be back!
