Conci. — Restaurant in Toronto

Located at Greenwood & Gerard, Conci was a highly anticipated destination fueled by numerous recommendations (thanks, Peter from Dreyfus!). We'd heard about their natural wines, but we came by early Sunday morning on this particular occasion, seeking comfort in some pastries and coffee.

They opened at 9 am, and we showed up five minutes later, only to find a tolerable queue of eager customers. Most people seemed glad to grab their treats to go, but we chose to enjoy the morning sunshine on their patio.

The croissants that awaited us were superb. We woke from our Sunday morning haze with each buttery, flaky, flavorful bite. Yet, one particular pastry reigned supreme—a pistachio-infused croissant with unrivalled flavour and texture. Oh, what a hit it was with the adults and kids alike!

In the company of flat whites brewed to perfection, the entire experience reached new heights. As we sipped our coffee and savoured the last morsels of our delightful pastries, we couldn't help but feel a deep sense of satisfaction.

Conci exceeded our expectations, leaving an indelible mark on our culinary journey, orchestrated in the most unpretentious settings.

So, if you are fortunate enough to be on the east end, step foot in this spot and enjoy! We look forward to returning to try the natural wines on-site, but we purchased some bottles to take home, which...

This is as close to Lyonnaise food as we were able have here in Toronto. When we traveled back in 2016, I fell in love with Lyon and their amazing cuisine. And this place is a hidden gem that I've walked by literally hundreds of times on my way to the gym and didn't give a second thought to.

Until we had lunch there! And our minds were blown. Everything is made with meticulous energy from the food itself to the artistic presentation. The croissants, quiches etc are absolutely to die for. Not to mention loads of interesting options for local foods from Lyon. (They are famous for their canned/marinated/pickled goods and meat creations).

Highly recommend this establishment not only for the stellar food, but also for the great energy that the two owners have created and shared with the neighborhood.

Keep up the good work, and we will see...

Came to write a review but noticed previous reviewers already took my words. I'll say it anyways.

This place is a gem. As someone who lives in the area, I know that these places make the neighbourhood special. We need to protect the places we love :)

So if you like wine, natural wine at that, this is your joint. That's the first thing that blew me away when I came - the most eclectic selection of wine.

Now the food - we did the tasting menu tonight - it was absolutely exquisite. The place is small enough that you can tell the food is made with love - quite frankly, if the place were to be any bigger or busier, I don't think it would be sustainable to put that kind of care in the food.

This place is awesome - up there with the others of our hood - lake Inez, the social gardener and Victoria whole foods. Let's make this...
