Best New Restaurants 2009 - The Honourable Mentions

Toronto saw many great new restaurants open last year. In our April issue, we name the top 10, but some fabulous places didn’t make the cut. Below, the newcomers that soared, but fell short of our list.

12. Bread Bar
A kid sister for Amaya, Bread Bar differentiates itself with some nifty ideas—lobster and prawn naanini, for one, or a $45 tasting menu of seven new-Indian dishes. The casual, colourful ambience and the bold novelty of a communal table have made it Lawrence Park’s favoured destination.

Bread Bar, 3305 Yonge St. (at Glenforest Rd.), 416-487-1100.
