Best Comfort Food Restaurants in The Annex

Kale salad with pine - refreshing and tasty Calamari - crispy and perfectly cooked Grilled Octopus - amazing flavour but came out on the colder side Braised beef pasta - sauce was really good but pasta texture was hard and came to table at room temperature. Expected this dish to be on the hot side but wasn’t so. While all the dishes we ordered tasted amazing, the temperature of the food was a bit disappointing. I like my food hot especially on a cold night. After pointing this out to our server Tiago, he immediately took it back and brought us a fresh plate that was nice and hot. They proceeded to offer us free dessert which was much appreciated. All in all the food is very good but the service from Tiago was even better. Will definitely be going back!

Excellent service by our server. He was attentive and offered “just the right amount of service”. A great spot for a team lunch.

Great time! Tasty food n drink - lovely staff. Give them all raises.

What a fantastic experience at the newly opened National in Toronto. We celebrated my wife's birthday. The food was great. For vegetarians, Poke and Falafel Bowl is a must try. I'm blanking out on our server's name, but she was just awesome (the spectacle girl haha server ID 5552). Made the right suggestions, did not rush us into ordering and even got a complimentary treat for her birthday celebration. Thank you! Later in the night we enjoyed a couple of games at the bowling lane. A perfect birthday night thanks to everyone at National. Cheers!

Shared a green salad with grilled salmon, and augmented it with an order of the AGO Bistro's always great french fries with aoili. For dessert, Rebecca our fantastic waitress suggested a panna cotta made from coconut and a purple tuber (Ubé?), which was like a rich rice pudding without the rice. Great lunch, great service!
