About this restaurant

Lively
Neighbourhood gem
Romantic

Named after the bird that populates nearly every port along the ancient maritime spice routes, Spice Finch pays homage to a passerine that does not sing, yet is known to vocalize or chirp in recognition of good eats. We are inspired by the distinctive flavors of the nations bordering the Mediterranean Sea, and heavily influenced by the cultures and culinary traditions of Morocco and Greece. Our menu is a bold, seasonally accurate menu featuring an array of small plates, vegetables, grilled meats and fish.

We had a delightful brunch at Spice Finch: mezze, flatbread, olives, haloumi salad, spinach kichi, steak kebab, and roasted cauliflower. The service was great and the food delicious, with roasted cauliflower the star of the show. Will definitely come again and bring friends.

Very cool place. The atomosphere is amazing too. I was expecting a better meal. While we didn't have an issue with the food, the price that we paid for the food, I was expecting something a lot better. Maybe it was my meal? Also, the service was really slow.
