Best Global Restaurants in Scarborough

We had a reso and were seated after just a minute or two. We were offered a free mini drink of prosecco which was a really nice start. We were waiting for a little bit before our server finally came back to us, but after that, she was great and the whole evening was a win. As a group of three, we shared an app that we all loved (the Szechuan chicken lettuce wraps) and then all of us really enjoyed our mains (a bowl, a burger, a steak). Specifically, the veggies with the steak had a deliciously roasted flavour with some char, and the harissa chicken in the bowl also had great flavour. We splurged and each ordered dessert and shared them, with not a complaint among us. Triple yums on the apple pie, chocolate molten cake, and the Italian donuts. The raspberry coulis, the ice creams, and the lemon cream on the sides were perfectly matched with the desserts. We ended the evening with full tummies and a bill of about $200, but every dollar was worth it. Surprisingly excellent meal, and the timing of the courses was perfect.

Great service, prices were reasonable, food was good. Easy to get to and lots of parking. This was my first time and I will go again for sure.

The salmon was exquisite!! I had it with jasmine rice, roasted butternut squash and brussel sprouts. I opted out of the sauce because I don’t usually have sauce. I prefer the true flavour of the food. The salmon (medium rare, just cooked) was absolutely delicious. My server was very friendly with a positive vibe. Highly recommend!

The soup arrived at the table lukewarm, it was not cold, but it was not hot either. Otherwise all is good. Nice place. Wish the menu has some brunch items though, we were there at 11 am.
