The launch of this simple little bistro this summer—the first good place to eat on an otherwise desolate west-end strip—instantly changed the neighbourhood’s feel. The place is bright and welcoming, with urban farmhouse decor, well-chosen beers (Beau’s Lug-Tread Lagered Ale is fantastic) and chef Joel Macmillan’s down-home dishes. Juicy house pork sausage with apricot and sage is poached in cider, with sweet onion and balsamic marmalade. Potted trout, with green peppercorns, gets nice balance from steamed cabbage and crunch from house caraway and spelt crackers. Entrées, $12 and under, come with basic but good mustard-vinaigrette green salad. Short wine list.
