One Place, One Dish

Share

I am trying to compile a list of dishes that certain restaurants in the GTA are known for, and I am recuiting my readers, and friends, for help. This is not a list of peoples favourite foods, rather, it is a list that people can look to when they are looking to try something special that a restaurant does well. Help me out, and leave some comments on your favourites, or if you disagree with something listed here. These entries are from some crowd sourcing I did last week. Thanks!

For Beast restaurant, I would have gone with their lamb ribs. Very few restaurants serve that dish and Beast's is just top notch. For signature gnocchi, I'd go with Local Kitchen's smoked potato gnocchi.
