Je me suis fait servir par un jeune homme distingué & sympathique qui a tout a fait compris comment servir les clients de façon humble & attentive. Enzo si je me rappelle bien :) Le repas était excellent & le jus au fruit de la passion était savoureux. Nous avons eu une expérience formidable:)

Had dinner here with my husband on a weeknight. Very delicious food but on the heavy side. Everything is gluten free (hallelujah!) Simple yet complete menu. Decor is fun & eclectic. Only felt that lighting was a bit too dim.

With prices soaring these days I paid about $9.8 to take out three empanadas. I think it's more than fair as it's not Kensington Market in Toronto where there's a lot more traffic & competition. The empanadas are fresh & in hindsight I should have gotten all cheese. Super yummy!

Reina papiada 👍 & papelon lime's flavour was somehow like a kind of Chinese medical syrup. The kind that kids love since it's sweet haha
