A Diamond in the Rough

A Diamond in the Rough

Often I look at the restaurants in my neighbourhood and think “How the hell can you survive?” With the Bistro Camino I think “Why the hell are you here?

The area is low income, sort of down and out with subsidized housing around it.  More the sort of neighbourhood that would support a sports bar than fine dining.  But there you have the Camino Bistro sitting like a diamond in the rough.

 

The dinner sets are wonderful and great value with 4 appetizers, a main, and dessert for $25-28 dollars.

I went last night and had beef carpaccio, mozzarella tempura, smoked salmon, duck confit soup, duck spring roll, chicken cordon bleu, creme brulee and a glass of wine for $40 including tip. My descriptions do not do them justice but it was all amazing! The service was excellent too!

Really if this restaurant was on King street or in Yorkville you would be paying over $100 each.  So ignore the gritty neighbourhood and enjoy an evening of great food.
