I like the concept of Four - everything under 650 calories. The food there is excellent and you don't leave feeling deprived. |
I've seen you there. |

It is a tough sell in toronto I think. However, check out Frida on Eglinton. That's the finest Mexican you'll get in Toronto. |
Ya, that's what I've found in my search for a fine dining Mexican place in Toronto. From the Yelp reviews, however, it sounds like it's not worth the expense.
I'm glad you mentioned Four though. Ian and I were thinking of trying it out, but didn't know if it would fill us up! |

Milagro on Mercer St is pretty excellent. |

Way to say hello! I've only been there twice I think.
Lisa, if you go there, go Mon - Thurs - I went go once on a Friday and it was dead. Without people there is zero ambiance - not having any windows probably has a lot to do with that too.
I think the beauty of mexican is that it's not meant to be fine dining. the best mexican is usually from a little joint in kensington with plastic chairs or something along those lines. Fine dining mexican would seem really inauthentic to me. |

Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately the next few times I'll be in Toronto will be weekends, but once I move back I was thinking of checking it out for lunch.
Also, with Mexican, I agree with you when I am looking for tacos, burritos etc. but the reason I've wanted to try fine dining Mexican is to try some of the entree dishes and not just tortillas + meat + cheese + pico de gallo + lettuce + sour cream in all sorts of combinations. I've been intrigued ever since Rick Bayless was on Top Chef and specialized in Mexican cuisine. |
