E.L.Ruddy — Restaurant in Toronto

Food options are all vegetarian so obviously not macro friendly. I’m tryna hit my protein goal! The food is also very expensive for very simple dishes that are made in an air fryer(the server literally told us that). A person in our party got a $17 Jamaican patty which was literally made from frozen. A small bag of plantain chips was $6!! INSANE PRICES. The food also took an incredibly long time to come.

In addition, what little food they do make in-house has the incredibly tiny "boutique" portion sizes you would expect from a five-star restaurant doing a 10-course tasting menu, rather than from a bar's 18 dollar entree. Definitely disappointed, they've changed a lot over the...

My favorite bar in Toronto! The interior of the bar is unlike any in the city. The staff, personable and individually interesting. The regulars, quite cool and the irregulars that just shoot in for a drink, are usually chill.

I have a soft spot for the place for personal reasons, but everyone I bring loves the place. Check it out, it's nestled between Milou and Project Gigglewater (usually outside of Summer, you'll see people awkwardly walk into Ruddy, thinking it's Milou or...
