Pan-Asian/GlobalCritic's Pick: SUPERMARKET
"268 Augusta, at College, 416-840-0501. With culinary roots that link it to the Queen Mother, Rivoli, Lava and and Tom “Foxley” Thai’s Tempo, it’s no surprise that the East-meets-West fare dished up at this Kensington Market resto lounge is so accomplished. And did we mention cheap? The house’s spectacular all-day four-course prix fixe goes for all of $15. Make sure to have a coupla drinks and tip five bucks more than your usual 15 per cent. Best: chef Manh Nguyen’s substantial meal deals start with soup – a rustic lamb meatball soup sided with a wedge of house-baked focaccia, perhaps – then continue with ripe mango salad, skewers of turmeric-tinged chicken satay, and quite possibly the best vegetarian pad thai in the city, before finishing with banana spring rolls dipped in chocolate sauce. Open daily 5pm to 11 pm; bar nightly to 2 am. Closed some holidays. Licensed. Access: three steps at door, washrooms on same floor. Rating: NNNNN critic's pick"
