Torito

276 Augusta Ave., Toronto, Ontario, M5T2L9

Rated this place:

Tapas and a nice glass of cava: This Kensington eatery is a popular spot for young couples and large groups of friends to share delectable small plates of Spanish-style tapas. A nice selection of sherry, sangria and cava accompanies the menu’s exotic flavours along with some more unusual bottled beers, including blanche de chambly.The beet, lentil and goat cheese salad is delicious and the patatas brabas and chorizo is super filling. Finish it off with the figs, benedictin cheese and mil flores honey dessert and you’re good to go.

Waterfalls Indian Tapas Bar & Grill

303 Augusta Ave, Toronto, ON, M5T 2M2

Rated this place:

Decent cocktails, decent food: Blessed with one of the bigger patios in Kensington, Waterfalls is a great place to watch some of the Market's street theatre play out. It has an extensive cocktail list (including 10 variations on the mojito) and solid food. Ignore the "international" dishes and stick with the Indian fare. My favourite is the rich and creamy mutter paneer. Though I usually prefer rice, I'd rather sop it up with naan. Hot, crispy and buttery, there’s nothing better.
