Happy hour specials [Toronto]

Today’s visit to Quanto Basta was great as usual. I also noticed they have happy hour specials from 3-6 PM the servings are smaller and wine drinks are what one expects at that price point. I think it’s a good idea to start a thread dedicated to happy hour specials in Toronto. The lobster gnocchi and seafood pasta was from their main menu. The calamari and arancini are from happy hour menu and half the size from what one gets

Some of the chain offerings here
Earl’s their seafood platter has been very good so has been their wine (limited to one type each but good stuff) the mains are ok with the brunch happy hour being a smaller portion as well.
Joey’s wine have enjoyed mains are ok for what you pay. I have had shrimp tempura and steak frites a couple of times serviceable for sure.
Mott 32 have been meaning to try them out for a while now.
Nervosa and gusto offer their popular items at decent prices though I have yet to try as usually order delivery from them.
Chotto Matte noticed their happy hour promo as well might visit.

Tried Earl’s steak frites and salmon roll for the happy hour. Friends also bought an aperol tower (I am no expert but they did mention it needed to be colder and ratios are off)
Steak frites 24$, salmon roll 14, Aperol 40$ for 4 and option to upgrade to 8 for an extra 25$


Rasa on Harbord has a happy hour now. I haven’t been.

I went to Rasa a few years ago and quite liked it. Time to go back I guess!

Tried the happy hour twice this week at Joey’s (one was Tuesday where most wines are half off)
Ca’del Bosco Franciacorta did well for a hot day and almost LCBO price. Guests enjoyed themselves which matters the most.
Second visit was ok as had the burger with a glass of red combo. Surprisingly didn’t come with fries. It’s ok for what it is at the style of chain offerings

One of my favourite happy hours in Yorkville - you may be interested based on your other posts @elvisahmed - sorry no food shots to share right now but will snap on my next visit.

Suggest sticking to snacks over sushi menu, but maybe just a personal preference. All vegan.

Just confirming this is Planta @theleverage ? I have had their brunch a few times. Dinner didn’t enjoy at all. Might try

Oh yes I’m sorry - thought the menu had it printed but they don’t.
