Best Restaurants for People Watching in Leaside

We went for a late lunch on New Year's Day. We picked Stock primarily because we love the decor and staff. It was a lively afternoon in the restaurant with one quite loud diner near us, but we could converse comfortably. Our waitress was lovely and gave me good direction on menu choices. Other staff who attended our table were equally gracious. We had noted before that staff at Stock strike a pleasing balance of being warmly engaging yet professional. The food was good and service was well timed from start to finish. It was an enjoyable outing to kick off the first day of the new year.

Excellent food and service - the tuna appetizer and pastas were great

The foccacia de recce is the best. Service is excellent and food is top notch. We have not had a bad meal there ever.

As usual exceptional food. Absolutely delicious meal . One of our favourite restaurants in T.O Servers are very accommodating. Highly recommend

We had a terrific experience trying the high tea. The presentation was beautiful and different, coming in a tool box, instead of triple tier plates. It was a box of delicious surprises which were prepared with love. But, although beautiful presentation, I must confess that I didn’t find practical (I had to get up every time I want to pick a treat from the box). The service was excellent and because we were too early, the place was quiet, the way I like. The music and the atmosphere were also excellent. We will definitely return.
