Civil Liberties
Came here strictly for the drinks and it's not hard to see why it's ranked as one of the best cocktail bars around!
My skepticism based on the idea of having no menu instantly vanished after the first sip of my cocktail. Our mixologist nailed it! Everyone at our table enjoyed what was crafted specifically for them. I only wish I remembered what I asked for so I could order it again!
Service is friendly, vibes unpretentious, and drinks are reasonably priced given the quality and level of effort and care.
Highly, highly recommend!

Chez Tousignant
Poutine review only!
Heard great things about Chez Tousignant's poutine and was excited to try it! Overall pretty decent. I liked the seasoning on the fries which you typically don't see, and altogether the flavour was good. Ratios are where it fell short for me. It could definitely use more gravy and at least another half layer of curds.
Given the price and my preferences, there's a decent list of other spots I'd get my poutine fix at, but their burgers and dogs look incredible so I'd stop by again to try those!

Ginger
With multiple locations across dt, Ginger is usually a reliable option for classic Vietnamese dishes.
The food may not blow you away, but it's consistent, tasty, and hits the spot. Their fried spring rolls are a must try and imo, the best item on their menu and some of the best in the city.
Staff at this location is friendly and their menu is reasonably priced.

Shawarma Avenue
Chicken shawarma saj wrap is definitely the star here!
Huge portion, good flavours and ratios, and solid value. They cut the shawarma fresh from the spit here and toast the wrap with some of the shawarma fat, leading to an incredible delicious saj!
On the other hand, the chicken on the rocks was disappointing. Way too little chicken for the price/portion of rice and unfortunately the sauces don't lend well to a simple meat/rice dish.
Service was ok - it was quite busy when we went and with little direction from staff to order it was a bit of a free for all.
With so many shawarma spots in the plaza there are others that would be my first pick, but I can definitely see this spot being a lot of other people's favourites.

Lazeez Shawarma
What a refreshing location, definitely reminded me why Lazeez became so popular as this is the best location I've been to in years!
Everything was made well and flavours were on point, just like how I remember when they opened their first location at creditview and brittannia. While they do not cut their meat fresh from the spit and quality may not be the greatest, they deliver on exactly what you expect from a Lazeez and they do it well.
With so many shawarma spots in this plaza this location will need to maintain high standards, and as long as they keep preparing food the way they are, I'm sure they'll have no issues here.
