Best Place to Eat in Toronto before the show

The best part of pre-gaming a Pearl Jam concert is deciding on where to eat.

Last year I went to Panini's in Cleveland and the Anchor Bar in Buffalo.

Any suggestions for Toronto?

Ottawa?

Montreal?

    I am very serious when I say this. No joke.
    The best place to eat Italian in Toronto is a placed called TERRONI
    http://terroni.com/

    On the left side of the site it says QUEEN. Click there. That is Queen for Queen street (West) in Toronto.
    I think it's on Adelaide St E also but I don't know that street well. A map is on the site. Ya-ya!

    Try and hit this place when you're in Toronto. You won't regret it.

    Reserve because it is usually packed and if they don't take reservations, get there early. Great backyard patio.
    Also, it is easy to miss. It is on the North side of Queen. If you have hit the starbucks on the next corner heading West, then you've gone to far. :D

    The Black Hoof is great! Expect to wait for about an hour to get a table, they dont take reservations.
    This sidewalk is for regular walking, not for fancy walking!

    I was actually going to suggest the Anchor Bar but that's a little far for the preconcerrt meal.

    The King's Crown is quite awesome - possibly the greatest plate of nachoes I've ever had - however I do refer to the place as Sneaky Disease for reason. ;)

    I highly recommend The Three Brewers on Younge, the food is pretty good, and the beer is freaking awesome... so so so good...

    man I remember the Anchor bar... that place was awesome...
    Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.

    I've never been there but there is a "Crazy Horse" restaurant in Kanata very close to the venue...that would seem to be a natural fit :-)

    Nickels on Rue St. Catherine! :P

    j/k. It was my very first restaurant I tried when I visited Montreal many year's back. It was pretty good. Later did I find out it was operated? by Celine Dion. :|

    I've heard its so-so.

    Baton Rouge is nice, nothing out of the ordinary but the food's good.

    Before The Elephant & Castle opened just a few year's back here in Halifax, it was my favorite place to eat in Toronto. There's also this amazing place in Greek Town that I love going to. Don't remember the name of the joint. It's a block down the street of Greek City Music, I think.

    As for Ottawa, never been there before. It will be the first this September! :)

    I'm not a local by any means, but just spent a week in Toronto for work. I definitely enjoyed Earls (150 King Street West) and Rodney's Oyster House (469 King St. West). Both excellent food and atmosphere.
