Best Mediterranean Restaurants in St. Lawrence Market

If you’re missing home like I do, then it’s the right place for you.

Tuna tostada, steak tartare toast were delicious appetizers. Beet and parm risotto and halibut chowder fantastic mid-course. Rib steak frites main was good, not great. Veal jus a bit unexpected if you don't eat veal. Braised short rib tender and yummy. Nice Côte de Rhone bottle and creative mixed berry cheesecake and tiramisu profiterole for dessert. Live piano player singing lots of Elton John. A perfect Valentine's Day romantic dinner.

We experienced a wonderful three course prix fixe dinner for two offered through Winterlicious, but Amano regularly offers special 'experiences' and menus. Three courses and we could (almost) not finish the generous portions :D Plus, there are delicious options for gluten free or vegetarian customers. We thoroughly enjoyed a couple of signature cocktails to start: Gazzoza Smash and Torino 1786. The sauce for the branzini was to die for, and pairing it with rappini was genius. The porchetta was perfectly cooked, so tender, with fantastic flavour. Tiramisu is sublime - light and yet so flavourful. Pavlova is decadent and light at the same time-the blueberry sorbet is a taste bomb! Finishing with excellent decaf cappuccino was a treat and a deal at only $6 (take THAT Starbucks!). Overall a great dining experience in a classy, comfortable, quiet atmosphere.

I love this restaurant. The food is exquisite and the staff is friendly and super helpful. Sue was an amazing hostess and great ambassador for the restaurant. We ordered the tasting menu and got a vast assortment of sharing dishes and a great main plus dessert. All the food was on point. This is by far the best restaurant I’ve been to in Toronto. 5 stars!

Appetizer: Maftoul is good! The puff pastry is very crispy and fragrant, and the meat filling is a Middle Eastern specialty with just the right taste. It retains the original flavor without being too strong. Main course: Braised lamp shank is delicious! The sauce has a bit of an oriental sauce-braised flavor, but with Middle Eastern spices. When the plate was served, you could smell the rich aroma of spices. The lamb was stewed very well, and my friend and I were so silent as we were busing on eating. lol Dessert: Baklava is too sweet to me. The server suggested ordering a baklava and a caramel pudding 🍮, which was very conscientious because baklava was really sweet to us, like eating syrup directly. Oh, and I suggest going for dinner because there will be a belly dancing performance in the evening. So I would recommend you to have a good dress, because the dancer will pull you up to dance with her.
