Ordered via SKIP very recently. The shrimp cold rolls - Goi cuon was disappointing. It was just lettuce, vermicelli and 2 tiny flat shrimps so I could barely taste the shrimps. There were no julienne carrots, cucumbers, and no Asian herbs such as Asian basil, Mint or Perilla. Basic and not traditional at all. The Beef Bun Rieu was tasty but the soup made me feel bloaded due to the salt. It came with lots of Viet basil, bean sprouts, green chillis and a lime. The Grilled Pork Vermicelli with Spring roll was good. However the veggies in the dish were just julienne lettuce, carrots, cucumber. No traditional Viet herbs or lime. Luckily I used the extra herbs from the Bun Rieu. Pls bring back the herbs as that's what makes Viet food even more refreshing and a stand out.

So happy to have a Peruvian restaurant in the neighbourhood. Nice little spot at the corner of Ontario and Carlton, with a small patio and quality, tasty Peruvian food. The customer service was excellent but relaxed. The Passion Fruit Mojito $15 was very sour, maybe a little too tart (esp for sensitive stomachs). The drink however was very pretty asthetically. The Classic Pisco Sour $18 was good - medium sour. They give you a mini bowl of crunchy (roasted) choclo (Andean large corn) kernels with your drinks. It was on the bland side. The Ceviche Mixto $28 was refreshing and quite tangy (maybe too tangy) but perfect for foodies with a super sour tooth. Also had the Arroz con Mariscos (Seafood Paella) $28 which was delicious. The flavour was nice, well seasoned but mild even though description says spicy. The meals were decently portioned, good amount of seafood cooked perfectly soft and not rubbery. The rice to seafood ratio was equal in the paella. The whole total after tip was around $118.00. The vibe is nice, good for a dinner date. IMO, the food price is close to decent for the quality, quantity and the atmosphere combined. My main critique would be that the sour drinks and dishes could use something to cut through the tartness to be more tolerrable. I still recommend this place.

Currently due to Covid, this is one of the few Hakka places that is open for indoor dining. It's one of the best, clean and delicious taste. Everything on the menu that I tried was good: Chili Chicken dry, Beef noodles, chicken balls, shrimp fried rice, time before that Hakka vegetables and hot and sour soup. Only thing I wasn't a fan of is the hot and sour soup as it had too much coriander flavour in my opinion. Still a 5 star!

This trail was beautiful, full of wildflowers and Canadian shield rocks. Ate some blackberries as well! Five to seven minutes later you will come to an opening with a lake on the right and a bog on the left. You can keep going and there are few ppl in between hiking or walking their dogs. Was a very relaxing pretty walk.
