Best Restaurants for Spicy Food in Leaside

Amazing food. This was my second time being there. Food and service did not disappoint me at all. Warm and cosy restaurant to visit with your friends. Loved their beetroot galettes and overall menu!

My husband and I went for dinner recently to celebrate our anniversary. We chose Stages because it is very close to the Mirvish CAA theatre. It was a cold evening and we got a table right near the fireplace. The restaurant is small and the ambience was lovely. No blaring music! The gentleman who served us was very attentive, so we had great service. We shared a trio of dips served with pita and all 3 dips were delicious. My husband had the crispy tofu with spicy noodles and it was excellent (quite spicy so only recommend if you love hot spicy food). I had the chicken cutlet with fresh cut fries. It was very good. The cutlet was a bit dry, so not greasy, and it's something I can cook myself at home, so I wish I had chosen something else. I did enjoy my meal though and after the dips I wasn't super hungry. It was a very enjoyable experience and I would definitely return.

I ordered a margarita and it was not good at all. Had to send it back. There was a draft above our table for most of the evening which was not pleasant. The food, service and the ambience is always great. There was a draft above our table for most of the evening.

Super fun, cool vibe, great fried chicken. We have a wonderful time.

We went during happy hour and the prices were right and the food was fantastic. I had the cod tacos, which were incredible along with a very yummy margarita. It was the perfect place to have a bite to eat before seeing a concert at the Opera House.
