Book ahead to nab one of the 30 or so seats in this cozy bistro, voted one of Canada's 100 Best restaurants, where Chef Alden Ong and his team in the open kitchen craft wildly creative vegetable-forward menus.

For cocktails and a lighter meal, head next door to the sister wine bar, Grapes and Soda. Reservations are essential.
