We have a great experience, we let the chef feed our party of 5 and we loved the food and the ambiance. Lamb was fantastic.One of very few places where you can enjoy your meal without loud music playing.

Thank you so much for visiting! We agree that music in an enhancement to dining, not the star :)

We recently visited Park by Sidewalk, and it was such a memorable experience. The atmosphere is warm and unique, with every detail thoughtfully designed to help guests fully enjoy their meal and the overall experience. The food definitely stood out. I never imagined lamb tartare could be prepared so deliciously — tender, balanced, and bursting with interesting flavors. The cauliflower with sesame and dates was an unexpected delight, and the grilled fish, pork cheek, and lamb skewers were cooked to absolute perfection. They also make their own kombucha, which I highly recommend trying — it’s so good! I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone. They truly know how to impress with their incredible flavors!

Always an exciting culinary adventure at Park By Sidewalk . The Solarium is one of my favourite spaces to share meals with friends or to savour a meal on my own. Park By Sidewalk has sort of become my sanctuary!
