St.Anselm, 355 Metropolitan Avenue-No reservations for small parties, so be prepared to wait (or get there by 6) But you will be rewarded with what some have called the best steak in town, make sure to order the pan-fried mashed potatoes.
Okonomi, 150 Ainslie-By day, Okinomi is a place where you can get traditional Japanese breakfast or lunch. On weekday nights, it’s a walk-in ramen shop. On weekend nights they offer a ramen omakase.
