"Stork does an excellent job of adding unique twists to pan-Afro-Caribbean favourites. The peppery BBQ octopus suya is a perfect example. Served on a bed of yam fries, it's like a dish of calamari and chips served off the Côte d’Azur, reimagined for the warm breeze of the Gulf of Guinea. The mood is kind of fancy, but never stuffy. And the plush interior, with soft lighting and modern West African art, makes this spot an all-round good choice when you’re trying to impress someone." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
