It offers modern French cakes and pastries made with local ingredients and West Coast flavour, but with traditional French techniques. I did find most of them sounding better in the descriptions, but it is still one of the better patisseries in the city.

It’s a new French bistro and if it can remain as consistent as the both times I’ve tried it, then I’m looking at a new local favourite that is here to stay. It’s a neighbourhood restaurant with affordable prices for the area. The food is rich, but it’s still catered for West Coast tastes.

Христос Воскрес! It’s a Sunday Night Ukrainian Easter Dinner Series! Chocolate eggs one week and paska (Ukrainian Easter Bread) the next? I’ll be bringing my basket! This is more or less a traditional Ukrainian dinner prepared by the Pazukha’s… how’s that for a last name? Recipes too!

It supports local suppliers and seasonal ingredients, and it’s a very West Coast version of Canadian cuisine. The food is fresh and good quality and it offers sophisticated versions of the basics that are still very approachable.

Fried chicken has been the craze for the last few years in New York and the one at Peels has made several “Top 10 Best Fried Chicken in New York” lists. The menu features gourmet comfort food and American regional classics and it was an eclectic approach to farm to table dining.
It was definitely fancy pants coffee, or fancy tight hipster pants coffee, so you either get it or you don’t. They offer brew flights and tasting flights with complimentary tastings every Friday from 1-2pm. Coffee lovers paradise!
