The Big Crow

The Big Crow is located at 176 Dupont Street, Toronto. You will see a sign out on the front of the street (beside the "Food" signage), but the restaurant itself is located in the back of Rose and Sons, down a little alleyway covered with birch trees and Holiday lights. This cozy little backyard feeling restaurant provides a warm ambiance and friendly service. The staff greets you with information about daily specials and a brief history of the restaurant. Inspired by Algonquin Park, canoe trips and camping, the menu gives a creative flare to Canadian cuisine. I loved the huge picnic tables and the dim lighting. I felt as though I was dining in a large tent in someone’s backyard. I recommend the steel head trout poke with peanuts, chili, and ginger. I recommend sampling the garlic bread, sour pickles, and particularly the kimchi created by David Chang. Even the potatoe salad had an interesting flare to it, as it was created with squash, brussels, maple, and cider. I was able to taste a variety of different dishes since the menu is designed for enjoying it with your guests. I was appreciative with the Big Crow's selection in the provision of local beer along with the traditional options. I would highly recommend checking out this restaurant for a relaxed atmosphere with your pals while engaging in open conversations in an outdoor inspired setting.
