Just in time for your Christmas dinners, Côte de Boeuf has opened at 130 Ossington. Teo Paul, whose restaurant, Union, down at 72 Ossington, is well known in the neighbourhood for locally sourced food, has expanded his offerings. The timing is perfect for neighbourhood residents who are looking to impress their relatives at Christmas dinners. Their products include a wide range of prepared foods such as Fois Gras Terrine, Smoked BBQ Capon, Duck Confit, Corned Beef with Bread and Butter Pickles, and, of course, the côte de boeuf, which is one of the highlights of the Union restaurant menu. They even have some delicious looking dessert items including a pecan pie. And you can be confident with Teo that your food is sourced locally, as much as possible.

UPDATE: Omaw is soft opening tonight and last night, serving up food and non-alcoholic drinks. Their liquor license is pending but imminent. They’ll be open at 5PM Tuesday – Sunday, so go sample some delicious […]
