So we woke up after the Saint Patricks celebration and we were starving for brunch. The friends…read morewhere we were staying suggested us to go to Bellissimo, that was nearby. We looked at the menu on Yelp and the brunch menu looked very good. We arrived at this cozy restaurant (I think it was built in a house) and were greeted with a friendly server. We started with a very good cup of coffee. From the choices on the brunch menu I took the skillet: hash brown potatoes topped with eggs, cheese, mushrooms, onions and bacon with hollandaise sauce. Every bite was perfect. I even took the traditional toutons on the side. My boyfriend took the traditional breakfast and fell in love with the peameal bacon. The server always made sure that everything was ok and that our coffees and water were refilled. I recommend this place for brunch, but apparently it's even better for dinner!

The service was excellent (we moved inside and switched tables because we underestimated the cold evening), and our waitress whipped out a laundry stain remover stick when she noticed us furiously dabbing at a shirt stain. Helpful and accommodating with dietary restrictions. Quite cosy ambience, keeping the experience relaxed with slightly more upmarket food.

We had dinner: fish cakes followed by Miso Cod. The service was friendly and efficient. The Fish…read morecakes were well prepared and presented, with a tasty citrus romoulade. Estehetically the cakes would have benefited from a little more browning but it is tricky to not dry them out and they were not dry. The Miso COD was thick, flaky and divine! Served with vegetables prepared al dente and small potatoes. Presented in an appetizing fashion and thoroughly enjoyable, a winner !

3 1/2 stars. I prompt and professional service, chill atmosphere, and above average food. The rice…read morewas truly wonderful. The potato curry was tasty and spicy but I found the huge chunks of potato a bit much. Cutting smaller cubes would increase surface area and absorb some of the spicy curry. The sambuca was very flavorful. My only complaints were the "nan" (premade and closer to a pita) and the tamarind sauce which was very watery.

Amazing service! The owner recommended a lot of specialties and they were all delicious. We tried…read morethe BBQ Tofu, sammusas, and tikki masala wings for starters. Menu included photos of the food. Our second time here, and we've enjoyed it both times!

My wife and I visited Poyo + The Sprout for lunch. The restaurant has a casual, mostly self service…read moresetup. You order and pay at the counter, fill your own water jug, and grab your own cutlery before taking a seat. It's a straightforward system and works well if you're looking for a quick meal. We ordered the Pineapple Taco and the Enchilada. The food was nicely presented and tasted fresh, but the flavors were fairly mild and didn't leave much of an impression. It wasn't bad by any means, just not as flavorful as we had hoped. The biggest disappointment was the value. The portion sizes felt quite small for the price, especially considering the self service format. We left wishing there had been either a bit more food or a little more boldness in the dishes to justify the cost. I can see why it may appeal to those looking for lighter fare. For us, though, the food didn't quite match the price point and overall, based on this visit, it was an average experience.

My husband and I went here for lunch while we were traveling in Newfoundland. The outside of this place is so colorful, and inside is like a cute small cafe. We are vegetarians, so thought of trying out this place. I had ordered Enchiladas, and my partner had ordered Pineapple tacos. Food taste was average. Definitely have had better vegetarian food on this trip. They even customize it to vegan if needed.

New to the Water Street food scene, Suriana is a welcome addition! It's a small menu and a bit of a…read moretight fit inside, but the owners are welcoming and know their cuisine! Likely the best falafels I've had in the city - crispy outside with beautiful chickpea filling that is soft and full of flavour. Try the veggie box, you won't be disappointed. Citrusy hummus, falafels, a little coleslaw, pickles turnip, and a light tzatziki sauce to soak your falafels in! It was delicious, if not a bit too much for lunch. (I'm pretty sure I have lunch for tomorrow, too!) Although I didn't need it, I ordered some of the beef kafta. Flavourful, just right tomato sauce kept the kafta moist. What they don't advertise, is that the beef is sourced locally, and ground in-house. A commitment to supporting local industry should be celebrated. Service was friendly, and pretty quick. The owners are attentive and want to ensure that whoever comes through the door leaves happy. Can't ask for much more than that.
