The decor is pretty nice and the utensils and seating was done nicely. There's a lot of seafood tanks in the area and a lot of birthday celebrations around us.

The whole experience was so relaxing and I felt amazing after the Thai massage! For the food, I had the papaya salad and chicken Pad Thai. My friends tried the tom yum shrimp soup, eggplant and green curry. The eggplant was surprisingly one of my favourites and everything we tried was really good. For dessert, we tried the mango sticky rice and a mochi dessert and both were delicious. I went with my girlfriends and we had such a nice time eating, chatting and relaxing. For $149 before tax, tip, and drinks, I think it is a fun package for a girls' self-care day. We have already decided to make this a quarterly tradition!

We showed up on time for our reservation. Having never been here before, the first thing I noticed was the small market area selling Thai foods, which I felt was nice. If I actually lived in the area, I would consider buying some of the products. The space looks quite nice, and definitely had Thai accents to it. We were seated quickly. As a group of friends having not seen each other for a long time, our server was very patient with us. We were so busy talking, she had to come by 3 times to check if we were ready to order. Each time she came by she smiled, saw that we were busy catching up, and never pressured us to place an order until we were ready. I ended up trying the Khao Soi, Grilled Skewer Platter, Som Tum Papaya Salad, and the Pineapple Fried Rice. I didn't take as my notes as I normally would when eating, but I distinctly remember that every since dish was good - prepared properly and great flavour. As noted, the server was friendly and attentive, and never got the impression we were under a time limit despite being there well over 2 hours. Overall, a very good meal. I'd definitely considering returning if back in the area.

Out of the seafoods, mussels were my personal favourite. They were plump and tender, holding onto the sauce in their shells, creating tasty mouthfuls. Portions were more generous than initially met the eye -- as we ate, we did quickly become full. A downside is that warm/hot things are served in plastic bags. Mmmm yummy micro plastics... And the tables and washroom were not the cleanliest. I loved the decor of the place. Interesting art to look at, and splashes of colour here and there. Lots of tables. Paid parking is relatively easy to find in the neighbourhood.

Paella anyone? I bet you haven't heard that in a while. And…read morehonestly, who knew it was such a Portuguese thing too? We all know Spain made it famous, but Portugal? INSANE. Back to why I do this. I'm endlessly curious about food, people, and the magic that happens when great meals meet good music. Friendships just seem to evolve naturally around a table. And thank you, E, for another incredible photo -- your choices are always perfect. Mercado on St. Clair is a hidden gem. What was once beside my mom's flower shop downtown has now found a home in a slightly more industrial setting on Caledonia -- and somehow, it works perfectly. Cozy seating inside, a great covered patio outside, and that village-style European restaurant vibe you hope to stumble across. First off, the waiter was phenomenal. He walked us through the menu, explained everything perfectly, and genuinely elevated the whole experience. The menu is massive -- meat, seafood, everything you could want -- but we came for the paella. We were told it takes time because they make it the proper way. Not overly crispy, just authentic, rich, and layered with flavour. Worth every minute of the wait. To start, we had the gambas / shrimp in a rich red garlic and herb sauce plus extra toasted bread for dipping, per our waiter's recommendation. Absolute rockstar move. The other appetizer was a delicious beef stew served over crunchy rustic bread. Simple, hearty, and top notch. Now... drum roll please. This may have been the best paella I've ever had. Okay okay, maybe somewhere along the coast in Spain I've had one fresher... but this was absolutely off the charts. Zero fishy smell. Just beautiful saffron-infused rice with that perfect slight crisp, loaded with mussels, clams, octopus, calamari, shrimp, and more. Built for two people to share and completely unforgettable. A few glasses of house white later and bam - there was absolutely no chance I was going back to work. And dessert? I kept telling myself: "No dessert, Frank. No dessert." But there's a rule in life ; if you see crème brûlée on a menu, you order it. This wasn't exactly crème brûlée, but a cheesecake-inspired version of it. Two spoons, four bites, and thank you very much. Favourite meal of the year so far. Completely blown away by this place. Mercatto -- go now. Go fast.

I would consider coming back for fish I intend to prepare in a different way. But the person working here tried to upsell me, saying that each meal requires about 0.5 lbs fish. This might be true of cooked fish, but it likely isn't for sushi. I took my one pound of fish home and used a very small amount of it to make very meaty maki that comprised the entirety of my evening meal. (The fish was fresh, though, and reasonably flavourful.) One bigger issue: a significant portion (like a third) of the small piece of tuna I bought contained silverskin, which made the piece inedible. Totally not acceptable, when you consider the price of the tuna was over $30 per pound. This is a okay place to go if you live nearby and want sushi-grade fish. There aren't many places in the city that offer it. Next time, though, I'm gonna try Taro's. The selection there looks pretty amazing.

A comforting brunch at Bonjuk Canada - perfect when you're not feeling 100%…read more My partner and I finally sat down for a proper brunch at Bonjuk this afternoon, and it was exactly the kind of meal we needed. I've been dealing with some dental pain, and my partner is just getting over a nasty cold, so we wanted something gentle, nourishing, and easy on the body - not a heavy, greasy brunch. Bonjuk's whole vibe of "comfort food with heart" really delivered. We'd only done takeout before, so this was our first time dining in. The space is small but really welcoming - warm lighting, clean and simple decor, and comfortable seating that makes you want to slow down and relax. It's not a huge place, so there aren't tons of indoor seats, but that also gives it a cozy, intimate feel. Service was friendly and low‑pressure, which we appreciated when we were both feeling a bit under the weather. We ordered the Chicken Porridge ($23) and the Beef Bulgogi Bibimbap ($24), both for dine‑in (prices don't include tax and tip). The chicken porridge was savoury, and soothing, with a rich broth that felt healing without being heavy. It was easy to eat with my sore teeth and left me feeling comforted, not stuffed. The beef bulgogi bibimbap was a nice contrast - colourful, fresh, and full of flavour. The bulgogi was sweet, the rice was perfectly cooked, and the mix of veggies and egg made it feel like a balanced, healthy meal. It's definitely a step up from typical brunch fare if you're looking for something lighter but still satisfying. One thing that really stood out was their baby porridge menu. It's such a thoughtful touch - separate, gentle, low‑salt options for little ones. As someone who's seen new parents struggle to find safe, easy meals out, this felt genuinely helpful and kind. It's easy to see why their marketing feels like they actually care about making food that's good for people, not just trendy. If you're looking for the best value, I'd say go for takeaway. We noticed a steady stream of takeout orders, and the overall costs are slightly lower that way, especially when there are discounts offered by different order platform. Overall, Bonjuk Canada is a good spot when you want something comforting, healthy, and easy on the stomach - whether you're recovering from illness, have dental issues, or just want a more mindful brunch.
