My girlfriend and I were hungry after our Friday night visit to the ROM. The night was relatively warm for this time of the year, so we opted to go and have a bite at Carens Wine and Cheese Bar (158 Cumberland Street, a 2-minute walk from the ROM). What a great idea it was!
I'm always thrilled to initiate someone to Carens' backyard. The food is always great and they have one of my favourite patios in Toronto. A true hidden gem. (See more photos I took last year.)
Good news, they supply blankets and a big heater. I don't know how long they will keep it open. Weather permitting. Just call them at 416-962-5158 before, to play on the safe side. By the way, they have cheese fondue on their menu (on their wine menu, actually!) and their lightly spicy mac and cheese is the best.
