Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Bloor West Village

Wonderful sushi and sake pairing. Lovely service and experience.

Wow.. This restaurant left me and my partner absolutely at a loss for words. Before I begin HUGE shout out to the most amazing server I've ever met, Graham. He really curated our experience and brought a personal yet professional level of excitement to our dining experience. Every dish was crafted with immense care and quality. The story behind the dishes and the flavour profile was nothing short of a immaculate dining experiences. Huge thank you to Chef Daniele for exceptional food and a wonderful conversation. We will absolutely be back again soon to go through this culinary journey again. - Eric & Stefania

Absolutely fantastic experience at Takja. Did the tasting experience and was blown away. Kudos to our server Peter for all of the guidance and recommendations on how best to enjoy each course with various bachan. Can’t wait to return with friends and family to share the experience.

Loved The Ace overall - great food! highly recommend the seasonal squash they have and they were able to add fries to it as a side for a complete meal for my vegetarian self. While they lean "carnivore" for mains, their apps are sizeable, and absolutely delicious and filling. I like to eat well, and the (clarified?) butter(?)-fried sage atop the squash was just *chef's kiss*. The Ace has excellent money for value as well - All their food is great; you can't go wrong. Great alcohol options too - the bar does not skimp on the gin! One *teensy* suggestion: if it's important to you, request seating by the window for the best ambience - similarly, if it matters to you, there are two booths at the back that are kind of next to the bathrooms (which is really not my preference), so just make sure to request a spot away from the bathrooms or come early. The servers were super helpful and moved us to a sizeable bar and I had a great time. (Others were presumably able to take the booth as they didn't mind the bathrooms so it worked out well for everyone!) oh and - their cheesecake at the end was to die for. I was in fluffy cheesecake heaven!

10/10, really delicious food, service was INCREDIBLE particularly because both my friend and I were there with babies; all the staff were incredibly welcoming, accommodating, and made our experience so special!
