• Middle Eastern • The Junction
Booked 24 times today
Parallel brings together the experience and background of the three Ozery brothers, Alon, Guy, and Aharon, to create this unique space and product. “We grew up in a home where sesame butter (tahini) was consumed regularly alongside flavourful Mediterranean cuisine. Parallel was born from our history and love for sesame butter. It’s part of our culture and upbringing, and we want to share that with you. There are few ingredients that are as versatile, nutritious, and just as damn tasty as sesame butter. That’s why we decided to make it in all its forms: try it in our dressings, salads, dips, bowls, and our famous homemade halva, and seed what is possible. The three of us share a passion for simple meals with fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and innovative techniques. That, along with our love for good coffee, art, music, and community, is what shapes the Parallel experience.”

    Whenever anyone is visiting from out of town and they ask for a recommendation, my first answer is always CANO!!! The is the best place in Toronto. It's got a very "neighborhood" feel to it, but the food is absolutely incredible. I cannot recommend this place enough!

    Great food and great atmosphere. All the seafood dishes were amazing at our table as well as the piri piri chicken. Service was friendly but maybe a bit understaffed. Restaurant was really busy and staff were busy which was good to see. They were all working hard to keep up and apologized to us for the delays. Overall a good experience. Would definitely return.
