Restaurants near Connaught Park Racetrack

The fried chicken is beyond superior here, honestly incredible. Love the trendy chill vibe and the cocktails are always delicious. Every staff member I’ve interacted with is very friendly! Amazing restaurant!

I am fairly picky when it comes to eating out. We all work hard and to go out and spend money when the service is awful is not something any of us want to do. This is absolutely not the case for Mati. I do not remember the last time I had such a great experience eating out. From the warm welcome when you walk through the door, to the staff not just our waitress but others, ensuring we were ok or did not require anything. There were two people besides Melissa our waitress that came by our table at least twice each to ensure all was well. It was my best friend's birthday and she had an amazing time. We had the burrata to start, then the steak and crudo, She had the duck confit and I the half rack of lamb and every single bite was exquisite. The plating, the sauces, the meat was cooked perfectly. I asked if a dessert could be brought out for her birthday and it was a twist on smores, not too sweet but so warm and inviting. I will be going back again very soon. Amazing service! Thank you for a wonderful and memorable experience, it was well worth it.

This was our first time and we absolutely love it. The organic wines are a interesting departure from the norm and the food was outstanding!

Gezellig was outstanding on this Valentine's Day lunch. It was busy as one would expect on Valentine's Day, but the hostess and serving staff and kitchen were up to the challenge. I love the two features to choose from option for lunch. They change the offerings from time to time. The Radicchio Salad and Ricotta Gnudi were great and my friend had the Artisanal cheeses which were also great. The sun was streaming in the windows. Service was excellent. It was a treat.

Excellent restaurant staff and food. A wee bit noisy.
