Fisherman's Wharf Toronto

This is the restaurant that we have longed to visit! What made it even better was the location. Only few steps from our hotel and the main shopping area downtown Toronto. Perfect!


The exterior of the restaurant may not look very inviting, it gives you the uncertainty feeling wether the restaurant is actually open for business. But, do not get put off by it, if you are there by noon between Monday to Friday, push the door and let yourself in, the staff await you.


The restaurant is not very big, indeed. But it is warm, cosy and decorated accordingly makes you feel welcomed. Friendly and very informative waiters are there at your disposal too.



So, to begin our seafood dining adventure we started with the oysters, of course! What a great choice, as they turned out very fresh and sweet. So impressed we had a dozen each! Not forgetting the Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand to accompany those lovely oysters.




Once we were done with the starter, we continue to have the triple treat. Combination of crab cakes, shrimp tempura and lobster spring roll. Ideal choice if you are stuck with the large selection of dishes on the menu, not knowing which one you to order.





At this point we were already feeling full. But we just could not resist to try the main courses. We went for a plate of deep fried calamari and lobster fettuccine. For that, we chose a bottle of French Poully Fuisse. Great dishes complimented by great wine. But the portions were just too big, as we have to spare some space for desserts. 
A small suggestion from us beside the portion, the pasta should be served with a little less sauce. It should not come out runny or overflowed by the sauce. But, other than that, the whole meal was simply delightful.


To finish, we chose classic vanilla creme brulee and tiramisu. Creme brulee was made very well but they could have added a bit more Kahlua on the tiramisu. Still good though!
