Savor Thai

Went to this pretty upscale Thai restaurant in Toronto (more northern part, like St Clair W).

For food, we ended up getting a fixed course. None of it was pad Thai, but definitely there were hints of the Thai curry flavor in a lot of the food.

Also, drink presentations were interesting. There was a traditional smoked presentation in a covered class, but also one drink came in an aquarium.

Mokutanya

Wow, this place had really good Japanese tapas (izakaya), and great lychee soju.

The atmosphere was also interesting. It was dark, they played too 40 EDM music, and for seating, you had to take off your shoes, and under the table goes underneath the floor.

In general, for the skewers, anything bacon wrapped was amazing (mushrooms, salmon, asparagus). Also, the sweet wagyu beef was good.

Other than skewers, the beef tataki was great, and also the “tako” balls (that actually had shrimp in them instead, which I liked better).

Also, they have $1 oysters from Monday to Wednesday (we got the ones that start with an “f”). And, if you check in on yelp, you get a free beer!
