osborne village Trendy restaurants and storefronts draw trendsetters to the walkable stretch of Osborne Street between River Ave and Donald St. Down a set of steps under an unmarked awning and past double doors reading“ Vandelay Industries”, a nondescript swinging door opens onto a dreamy, charming world. Sous Sol’ s playful appetizers and wild cocktails reveal its sense of humour. Opt for garlicky roasted bone marrow dotted with smoked honey and green sprouts and get both. After every unctuous spoonful is devoured on grilled bread, experience a bourbon shot poured‘ luge style’ through the bone’ s center. The cooking at Sukhothai rewards all those eager to experience true Thai piquancy profiles. Don’ t skip the crispy dessert spring rolls— drizzled with honey and filled with hot banana slices that ooze out upon first bite. Chef Andy Koropatnick and Baker Cloe Wiebe team up to lure mid-day noshers with stacked mortadella sandwiches and pastas, and sweet loving citizens with crisp and airy honey crullers, croissants and chocolate cookies at dually dubbed, Andy’ s Lunch and Crumb Queen. The menu may be tiny but flavours are big and bright and worthy of a daytime pit stop. Loud tunes and friendly service create a boisterous ambience at Leopold’ s Tavern. Sandwiches, burgers, all day breakfast and a handful of plant-based options are the perfect companion to a crisp pint.
