Bar Kismet

Very unique and flavourful food and imaginative cocktails. Seafood and a few vegetarian dishes. Well presented. Smallish portions. A little pricey, especially cocktails and wine.

Perhaps one of the highlights of our east coast trip. One of the best restaurants (and I go to a lot) I've been to. The food is Italian inspired and focused on seafood. One word, amazing. The sweetbreads were tender and perfectly battered. The grilled oysters were phenomenal. I also recommend the grilled carrots with crab. Make sure you order any dishes that has their tonnato sauce (or order it as a side dish), it's awesome. The drinks are awesome! If you can, sit at the bar and order drinks from Jenner (also the co-owner). He was nice enough to suggest cocktails and alcohol that paired well with what we ordered. The restaurant is trendy, simple but slightly eclectic and not pretentious. Everyone was so friendly. The place is awesome!

The staff here are great and they aren't even open yet. This place has one of the best barmen I have ever known. His ability to turn multiple ingredients into amazing and tasty drinks is like being a wizard. The food is damn tasty from what I have had so far. You will love what they are doing in the north end.

Cocktails and Cuisine are perfected at Bar Kismet. Jenner does not disappoint and lives up to his reputation of being one of the best bartenders in Canada. Annie, his partner, more than holds her own. The food here looks and more importantly tastes like something documentaries would be written about. A must for any lover of the finer things in life.
