Easily my favourite Thai restaurant in the city, and possibly my favourite restaurant this year! I was very surprised by how much I liked Favorites.

The tasting menu was wonderful. I even enjoyed the lamb dish, and I generally avoid lamb as I find it tastes very pastoral.

For the quality of the food and when compared to similar restaurants in Toronto, I was also very impressed with the price.

A speakeasy behind Sam James Coffee Bar. The restaurant offers good food with great service and ambient atmosphere. We came to catch up with another two friends. Our server was great and provided us a sample of wine as well, thank you! No complaints.

My only feedback would be on portion size for the pricing of the menu. Maybe it’s the Ossington strip but price for value was skewed. Four people ended up being about $250 (without tax) with one single glass of wine.

Absolutely love and recommend Favorites Thai, well deserved Bib Gourmand. We opted for the chef’s tasting menu and it delivered. Each dish was flavourful and unique that it felt like we got a wide variety. Some of the dishes were pretty spicy, but that’s ok we like that.

10/10 would go again!

The atmosphere of the restaurant was great, they did a really good job setting the tone. Other than the fact I wish the high table seating was more comfortable everything about the atmosphere was perfect.

As for the service staff, they were approachable, friendly and attentive but, I did feel like they were a bit inexperienced, a bit shaky on explaining the menu, retrieving plates and I did find myself wondering when or what was the next dish coming. This is a bit of a nitpick, if down to earth is what they are going for which is what I think they were trying to do! Side note, I did explain in my reservation and mention to our server I was celebrating a friends birthday but nothing particularly happened, of course this should not be expected but, I know some restaurants do, again a small nitpick!

For the food, the appetizers were great but I felt they outshined the mains, which is unfortunate because the appetizers set the bar that was dropped by the mains, in my opinion a tasting menu is a bit like a roller coaster gradually going up then down. Some of the dishes such as the pork that I had was a bit over salted perhaps a bit too much fish sauce but each person has different preferences of course!

Overall, excellent place to bring friends or a date, I did notice a specific dining table for large parties, which was cool. Unfortunately, I did not try any drinks as I had to drive but maybe I will next time!

Thank you Favourites Thai BBQ for the experience!

Had the chef’s choice tasting menu, great way to try a little bit of everything. Very generous portions and fast service for a tasting menu (perhaps a little too fast as the server keeps on asking us whether we are done with our plate when we are still eating). It’s innovative Thai food and the flavour profile was amazing.

Ontario

I slutet av en tre veckors resa, kom jag till Toronto för att bo med familjen. Toronto Life best of list hade precis släppts. Vi använde detta som utgångspunkt för att identifiera vilken typ och stil av mat vi letade efter. Lätt att nå med tunnelbana och buss. Denna plats gjorde ingen besviken! Små tallrikar med välbalanserade thailändska smaker som accentuerade men inte överväldigade maten. Upptagen/hip vibe , som över 69 var vi definitivt i minoritet. Servicen var utmärkt. Mat levererades av den server som var gratis - att få det till bordet färskt och eller varmt. Vinpar väl utvalda för att accentuera stilen och kryddorna i maten.

Den här restaurangen med betyget Bib Gourmand får du inte missa! Intim matsal med rätter sprängfylld av smak. Gör en bokning och njut! Rekommenderar starkt cevichen, det grillade fläsket och ankcurryn

Ja maten är fantastisk, och vinutbudet är ganska bra, men lämna inte utan att prova lammkotletterna. Ibland går jag bara dit bara för lammkotletterna och inget annat. Har lammkotletterna.

Om du är trött på de söta tunga kokosnöten curryerna i den typiska thailändska restaurangen i Toronto, är du ute efter en godbit och smakexplosion på Favorites. Från betelblad-räkorpaket till husgjorda korvar och grillade lampkotletter är varje bett en tydlig känsla. Friskheten i basilika, ingefära, koriander, vitlök och chilier dyker verkligen ut. Jag trodde att de kunde ha tonat ner kryddigheten, men långt efter måltiden var över, höll de sublima smakerna ihop med mig. De "naturliga vinerna" är ett eftertraktat inslag men kan vara lite översålda vad gäller kvalitet. Det finns några långbord där du kan vara värd för vänner eller känna dig mysig med andra gäster. Det blir ganska bullrigt när platsen är upptagen, och på ett sätt är det också jäkt i Thailand.

Titeln på denna recension kom från vår diskussion efter middagen om vår matupplevelse. Bra - - detta område är ett "händer" område och det var roligt att se hur levande och aktivt det har blivit. Skyltarna är minimala - - framsidan av restaurangen är ett kafé men det öppnar till ett mycket inbjudande restaurangutrymme på baksidan. Det är inte vägg till vägg bord och stolar så att du kan äta i något av ett intimt utrymme. Maten är ganska bra och äkta men på den kryddig sida av gommen. Flera av vårt parti - - som har varit i sydöstra Asien eller kommer från sydöstra Asien undrade var det klibbiga riset var. NOLL klagomål med tjänsten. Ju mindre bra. Dyr för tapas - särskilt när mängden mat inte överensstämmer med priset.
