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.

Prime Seafood Palace is a modern steakhouse offering a selection of beef, seafood, and vegetables all sourced from purveyors we love and value. Unexpected - a space to truly experience in person. The main entry is located in a quiet courtyard, drawing patrons away from the humming activity of Queen Street West. Inspired by Matty Matheson’s East Coast roots and appreciation for architecture, our design is conceptualized as a light-filled cathedral clad in white maple, with a menu that gives nod to the classic steakhouse tradition.
