Located in St. Lawrence, this global fusion restaurant is owned by chef Claudio Aprile, also of nearby Colborne Lane. The lively interior is designed with reclaimed brick walls, a central open kitchen, and a quirky chandelier comprised of miniature monster figures. There's also a popular wraparound patio with plush lounge chairs. Incorporating flavors from North Africa, Spain, Italy, China, and Thailand, the eclectic menu consists of approximately 40 tapas-style dishes, with favorites including the house burger and the miso-glazed black cod with mushroom broth, artichoke purée, and crisp soba. The restaurant also features creative cocktails and a signature mozzarella bar.
