Rotisserie chicken, seasonal veggies, wine, cocktails, and soft serve
"While some farm-to-table spots bore diners with heirloom-lettuce backstories, Bernhardt’s, a vintage French barn house oasis just off the Ossington strip, cuts the chatter and serves what counts: seasonal plates emphasizing local ingredients that are always flat-out delicious. The real move is to chase off-menu plates, since the menu changes frequently and repeats are rare. Anything that grows from the ground hits. Maybe it’s crunchy fried eggplant with honey and stracciatella, or green beans swimming in funky tonnato. And while vegetables could carry the meal alone, the roast chicken platter with briny coleslaw and thick-cut fries makes a worthy finale." - Erin Hershberg
"The seasonal sides are truly what I come back for here over and over again, but who doesn't love perfectly roasted chicken with gravy and yummy pickles." - Edward Barsamian
"Julie’s Cuban is not found on the main Dundas strip, rather it’s tucked away on Dovercourt Road, right between Dundas St and Queen St. Julie’s has been around for 20 years and remains one of Toronto’s best kept secrets. Besides serving tapas and authentic Cuban fair, they are known for their mojitos and piña coladas, which may be the best in the city. The moment you step inside you are enveloped by the cozy fairy lights and wall of trinkets collected over the years. During summer nights the front patio is open, creating a romantic atmosphere perfect for those long days." - Sovereign State
"“I’d say we’ve found our raison d’être,” says chef Zach Kolomeir, who co-owns Taverne Bernhardt’s and Dreyfus in Toronto, the latter temporarily closed due to Covid-19. He’s referring to his recent game-changing addition of a Rotisol, the veritable Rolls-Royce of rotisseries, to Bernhardt’s kitchen arsenal."
