Parallel brings together the experience and background of the three Ozery brothers, Alon, Guy, and Aharon, to create this unique space and product. “We grew up in a home where sesame butter (tahini) was consumed regularly alongside flavourful Mediterranean cuisine. Parallel was born from our history and love for sesame butter. It’s part of our culture and upbringing, and we want to share that with you. There are few ingredients that are as versatile, nutritious, and just as damn tasty as sesame butter. That’s why we decided to make it in all its forms: try it in our dressings, salads, dips, bowls, and our famous homemade halva, and seed what is possible. The three of us share a passion for simple meals with fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and innovative techniques. That, along with our love for good coffee, art, music, and community, is what shapes the Parallel experience.”

Where it all started. Our first location on 720 Queen Street West opened in 1992. From a storefront selling imported Italian pantry staples with only a handful of seating to our most recent renovation and expansion celebrating our 30 years of Terroni, our first ever location got a much deserved face lift, elevating both the look and function of this neighbourhood favourite while still retaining its character of being warm and inviting.Despite its modern, updated new look, the original spirit of Terroni that kicked off three decades of authentic Italian experience lives here.

Absolutely perfect in every way. We were 3 couples and asked for a round table and accomodated. We’re seniors, hard of hearing, challenging and had the most accommodating server named Greg who was unbelievably cordial and with a sense of humor. All in all, a great dining experience, food, service, atmosphere, comfort. Thank you C.T. - we’re in the ‘hood and happy to frequent!

The food here was incredible. Everything melted in your mouth and I think most carnivores wouldn’t miss meat one bit. The service was wonderful, the wine list was great and we couldn’t complain about a thing!
