🌙 My Late-Night Comfort Food Spot in Toronto 🥢🍶
When those sudden cravings hit for something warm, comforting, and beautifully crafted—without the wait—New Retro is my go-to sanctuary. ✨ 🍽️ Must-Try Dishes: 🥩 Beef Tartare The rich beef flavor shines, and the crispy, oil-brushed baguette slices take it to another level—perfect texture! 🥚 Cha One Mushi (Steamed Egg Custard) Silky smooth with umami depth—each spoonful is pure comfort. 🦆 Yodare Duck Fair warning: The duck has a slight gaminess that might not be for everyone. 🍜 Horumon Yakisoba (Offal Stir-Fried Noodles) For noodle lovers! The crispy intestines have no odd taste, but the noodles run dry—save it by mixing in the runny egg yolk (total game-changer!). 🍣 Omakase Sushi (6pc) Even though it's chef’s choice, every piece is premium. The uni (sea urchin) & salmon roe combo? Heavenly. 🌊 🍚 Kaisen Don (Off-Menu!) Ask the chef for this secret bowl. Generous portions of fresh seafood over slightly sweet vinegar rice—better than most omakase spots! 💥 📍 NEW RETRO - BASEMENT BAR 193 Carlton St. B1, Toronto, ON M5A 2K7 Why I Love It: ✔ No wait times (rare for Toronto!) ✔ Intimate basement vibe—cozy & moody ✔ Chef’s surprises (like that off-menu Kaisen Don!) #FoodieToronto #TorontoEats #LateNightBites #ComfortFood #HiddenGemTO #TorontoFoodScene #OmakaseLove #UnexpectedDelights
