"Leave the touristy crowds behind and make your way over to Little India in the east end, where this beloved gastropub offers up eclectic share plates and a next-level selection of funky and fabulous wines and craft beers. There are no rules on this eclectic menu, which skews pan-Asian but truthfully includes influences from all over. There are some beautiful sharing plates on offer, including homemade egg noodles tossed in black bean sauce and finished with crispy enoki mushrooms and pickled greens, or mussels braised in a Filipino sinigang sauce and topped with hot chilis and pork cracklings. To take your experience to the next level, try and make a reservation for the Mystery Patio, a covered space out back that offers an even more amped-up tasting menu experience. Reservations can be tough to come by, but it’s worth it." - Todd Plummer
