[Toronto] heated patios

Mushroom and Gorgonzola white pizza at Victory Café Pub’s heated patio on Bloor in the Annex. It wasn’t a crowded patio when we got there at 7 pm, but it was full by 8:30 pm when we left. Wish it was more drafty for ventilation. This is pretty good for that stretch of Bloor, but wouldn’t encourage people to travel out of their way. A little unnerving for me that none of the staff was wearing masks, in the BOH or FOH.

Brunch on Emmer’s heated patio. The staff was all masked, both FOH and BOH. Excellent patty melt. They switch from Brunch to Lunch between 11:30 and 11:45 am, and are strict about that. We arrived at 11:35 am, and beat the lunch rush. This is the patty melt. Would share my sandwich next time, probably won’t get the fries, because I barely touched them. They are good hand cut freiss. $16.50 for the Patty Melt. $4 for the cortado.

No line at 11:35 am. Considerable line by 11:45 am. Long line (over 20 people, and only 2 customers inside the bakery at a time)

The hot cross buns look very good. I didn’t buy any- sort of avoiding sweet baked things right now.

Open Thu to Sun only.
