Toronto restaurants part 1

Despite spending most of our time shopping for necessities, we've managed to eat at a number of establishments already. Oh, wait - that's because we still can't cook at home.

Donatello at Elm & Bay is a nice Italian restaurant. Our swap partner works there as a hostess. She got us a good seat by the window our first night here. The goat cheese and crab ravioli was very good. The bruschetta was also good. We would like to go back.

Danijela's Simply Delicious at Queen & Lansdowne was very good. We've been told that the service and the food is a bit random, but the night we were there it was excellent.

Stratengers at Queen & Bermount was okay. The sign says it's an institution or some such. The food was fine, but the service was quite slow. No real desire to return.

Mochizuki at Elm & Bay is the first sushi Bitter has had in Toronto. Much less scary than she thought. You can sit at the bar in the centre of the restaurant and little plates of sushi come by on a conveyor belt. You grab the plates you like (different colour plates are different prices) and they charge you by the number of plates you have at the end. Pretty good, we will probably go back, but would like to try some of the cooked dishes.
