Unique Food Attitudes — Restaurant in Ontario

Authentic foods! Service excellence! Confortable contemporary yet relaxed more upscale atmosphere. It's a Unique Food Attitude. I can't say enough good things about the DESSERTS! So good I've been twice in three weeks. And I live 100km away! Yes it's really that good. The desserts menu is ever changing and all of it is spectacular. I'm still holding a grudge with my "friend" who has known about this place since 2015! 😮‍💨 REALLY Johnny? Cabbage roll and perogie plate is a meal just the right size to squeeze a dessert in. In fact we were so enveloped in the food I didn't pause to snap photos until the second serving of perogies! Sorry folks I'll do better next time I'm there. Note the emphasis on the desserts, 👍 yeah they are take home to Momma, date night (or afternoon) worthy. In fact you can order to go. Perfect with a warm cuppa at home after a long wander down Dundas window shopping, getting some air and extra steps in. Hint Hint Johnny! I'm particularly fond of the white cheddar cheese and potato perogie but the meat are marvelously hearty and I did try the mushroom too and now it's hard to pick just one for an order. Yes the kitchen will mix and match flavours per order! I requested a side dish of sauerkraut salad to have with my cabbage roll plate and it was so good. 😊😋 Each time we go it's to try a different dessert option. I can't seem to get passed the cabbage roll and perogie combo plate on the menu. Also order extra perogies if you're feeling glutinous 🤗 I did and no regrets. LoL We actually had mutual cravings for cabbage rolls at this place! I've been spoiled as a house and dinner guest with Ukrainian and German and Dutch family ethnic foods prepared authentically much of my life. This is yet another spectacular unique regional family recipe offering it's just as good as the finest I've ever had for sure. 👌 That by the way was prepared in the home of a Canadian Ukraine immigrant by visiting relatives seeking asylum. I learned not a word of Ukrainian I'm afraid and also that I can't make a perogie myself worth a darned. We'd all have starved first. But exactly how good they are made fresh each meal and how good a simple dish like cabbage roll can be when made fresh. That's exactly the experience at Unique Food Attitudes. Genuine traditional food made with care and dare I say it love. It translates into the food the service and the atmosphere. I've worked in restaurants that couldn't deliver this. While the food was okay it was still missing that extra touch to maker for great dining experiences. You get that added ingredient here at Unique Food Attitudes. We even got to talk with the owner Barb and shared pictures and stories of our dogs. She and her husband are such a joy to chat with. He popped in for a quick nibble during his work day while we were there last.

This is the kind of restaurant you go to for comfort food, a bright pleasant comfortable contemporary atmosphere and genuine table linens. We were offered extra hot water for the tea without prompting and were doted upon each time we've been. LGBTQ++🌈 friendly. That alone sets the experience apart. I've been twice but Johnny has been going since 2015!... And didn't tell me until I found it myself. We've had words about this, haven't we Johnny.😮‍💨ahem. Back to my review.

Do check out the write up in the current issue of TOQUE. It's reviewed as part of a dumpling crawl along Dundas. Ask Barb for a free copy at Unique Food Attitudes! Who knew that was even a thing, dumpling tours? It's simply marvelous! You'll find some wonderful hidden gem food establishments along Dundas with ample street parking and plenty of window shopping too. We've hit four on the list so far and stopped twice for cabbage rolls and perogies (the best in London) at Unique Food Attitudes. 😛 A personal favourite spot of mine is the London Clay Arts Centre just across and up the street from Unique Food Attitudes. 🤩 Fine arts and food together. Chef's Kiss UFA should be on everyone's radar. Now check out the desserts...

This place is a gem. It is apparent that the entire restaurant was someone's dream that they turned into reality. It is clean minimalist, and modern in its layout. The washrooms were also very clean.

I had the daily special, pork cutlet, and was pleased with what I received. The cutlet was deep fried and the breading was egg based and puffy. The mushrooms and polish cheese garnishes were complimentary but did not dominate. The sides were mashed potatoes with a little butter topped with parsley and coleslaw that was simple and sweet. There was very little in the way of seasoning in any portion of the meal but this was by design.

The family who owns this place are courteous and proud of their establishment.

The theme of the entire experience can be summed up in the words clean, minimalist,...

One of my absolutely favourite places.

The best, made-from-scratch soups daily. They have frozen to take home, too. And they now bake bread to go.

My non bread-liking friend had a sandwich and absolutely loved it.

My choice is nearly always barszcz and krotiety because what else would you have made for you by someone Polish? Smacznego!

The apple pancakes are a meal or a dessert. They're huge and perfect.

The Polish poutine is so good, my mum doesn't want to order anything else. (Great! More sauerkraut pierogi for me!)

The lemon posset is the perfect, light dessert. The pączki are fabulous.

All the salads are good but my hat's off to the mizeria. Mine just doesn't taste quite as good.

Holding out hope for chilled soup this summer. Polish chilled fruit soups...
