Everything started with our handcrafted salsas, corn nacho chips and tortillas—Guacamole and blue corn tortillas, to mention a few—that have revolutionized the Toronto food scene with preservative-free and gluten-free options.The restaurant was opened a couple of years later with the intention of allowing our guests to experience the soul of Mexico and taste the ancestral flavours treasured and passed down through generations. In company with Sandra Hernandez, our Head Chef, we offer a culinary journey with dishes prepared from scratch, made with the freshest and highest-quality ingredients. Discover new flavours, dive into our specialties like the Mole Poblano and Carne Asada, and create memorable moments with loved ones.

Vinegar is a common ingredient, and dishes like Adobo are popular. Rice is a staple and is served with various meat, fish, stew, soup, and vegetable dishes. Filipino meals are communal and informal, and traditional meals include breakfast, lunch, dinner, and meriénda (afternoon snack).

Osteria Giulia sprung to life in our imaginations as a tribute to Italian traditions of the past. We wanted to create one simple, beautiful thing. Somewhere outside of your busy life, outside of your surroundings, outside of time. An environment, an experience, an entire evening. Osteria Giulia is intimate, warm and familiar. We’ve revelled in her every detail. We’ve established a rarified menu focusing on Northern Italian cuisine and delicate coastal, Mediterranean flavour. Giulia is a new imagining of what an Italian restaurant can be. It always was the place of our dreams, the reason for our collaboration, and the culmination of—and conduit for—our collective passion.

L'élégante taverne grecque de 85 places Mamakas Taverna vous accueille sur l'avenue Ossington. Le propriétaire Thanos Tripi apporte une approche fraîche et authentique à la cuisine de la mer Égée, préparant des plats grecs classiques avec une touche contemporaine. Chaque assiette est soigneusement conçue pour évoquer la façon dont la grand-mère de Thanos cuisinait, vous invitant à découvrir la Grèce dans laquelle il a grandi à travers la nourriture, l'art et la musique. Décorée dans le style d'un marché ouvert, la salle est construite en blocs de béton blanc, créant un effet similaire au stuc utilisé dans l'ensemble de la Grèce. Le Mamakas est un clin d'œil au patrimoine, à l'histoire et aux souvenirs de famille, comme la visite quotidienne au marché à la recherche de tomates mûres et parfumées, chez un boucher de confiance pour acheter des paidakia frais et chez le poissonnier local pour se procurer les produits de la pêche du jour. Vous profiterez de recettes transmises de génération en génération. Vous dégusterez une véritable cuisine grecque agrémentée d'une touche moderne, conçue pour le partage, ainsi que la famille de Thanos l'a toujours fait.
