Looking around Danforth, we are surprised to see that Greek Town is expanding its horizons. Mambo offers Cuban food; the Red Violin will blow you away with its Brazilian band and dancers who know how to shake their feathers; Embrujo Flamenco is Spanish to the core - try the authentic tapas.
One of the latest additions is the very cool The Local Company. A large and modern space, the Clientele which fills every seat on weekends are dressed to thrill and bent on having a good time. There's a vast mezzanine for private parties.
In March they offer a three course Prix Fixe dinner for $30.
For example,
Baby Greens in a Shallot Vinaigrette with Niagara Sour Cherries, Goat Cheese and Roasted Almonds.
~
Braised Veal with Root Vegetables and Buttermilk Mashed Potatoes
~
Tagliatelle with Salmon, Mussels and Shrimp in a Basil Tomato Cream
~
Chocolate-Raspberry Tartuffo with Fresh Berry Coulis
All this and live music as well.
Friday and Saturday evenings, live band's and Vocalist's from 8-10pm followed by celebrity DJ's.
The Local Company is a 'must try'.
