Toronto restaurants part 5

What can I say? We like to eat.

The Sultan's Tent near Front and Church has good Moroccan food. We did the four-course prix-fixe in the rear dining room which included the belly dancing performance (not by us). The atmosphere was dark and cozy, with curtained dining areas that were opened up when the dancing started. The food was quite good, but expensive. The belly dancing was interesting, and worth seeing once. The food is worth going back for, but next time we'll sit in the front, order à la carte, and skip the tourist experience.

The Pomegranate at College and Lippincott has Persian food. We went there for my birthday, and it was very nice celebratory dinner. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. The restaurant is small and intimate, with authentic-looking decor. Our wine was served in pottery cups rather than glasses. We both had the specials, so we'll have to go back to try some of the regular dishes. It's definitely a do-again.
