ReplyDeleteIzote is great, they used to run Mexican in Choc Dog Cafe before the owners kicked them out and opened their own very ordinary Mex restaurant!

Moose (on King, near Alice St.) is now a night time bar too. Looks good, drinks good, people friendly.
ReplyDeleteInteresting to hear the background on Izote. I had a great feed there.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately the Mayor chose Paddy's Day to test out Moose as a bar - the over-loud guitar and raucus drunk backpackers didn't really add to the 'small-bar' vibe so we left early. I'll give them another chance though - the barman looked as un-impressed as we felt !
