Trios Bistro

If one misses the Trios Bistro while touring downtown Toronto, one could not be fully blamed as this wonderful restaurant is not located with the naked eye.  It's location is inside the Marriott Hotel  in downtown Toronto location most closest to the Eaton's Centre. 

The restaurant is hosted by award winning chef Abraham Garcia and has a menu that is affordable and food that is dynamic, tasty and filling.  Having gone their on and off for the past 8 years for snacks, drinks, lunch and dinners, this restaurant sure knows how to treat their customers well.

I have had their Sweet Potato Fries and their Classic Caesar Salad before and they are both very good and very filling.   Their tastes are not overly strong but just enough to get you satisfied.  This past weekend we visited the place once again to have lunch and this time I went with their Beer Battered Haddock and Chips. ($18.00)

Beer Battered Haddock and Chips

The order took a little while to arrive as there were about ten of us.  While we were waiting they kept us breadsticks and bread to keep us from completely passing out.  The waiters kept filling our cups with whatever beverage we had ordered for lunch which was pleasant and nice.

My dish finally arrived and two rather large pieces of haddock were placed in a newspaper type paper.  There were also some fries and tartar sauce that came with it.  Cutting into the fish, the inside of the fish was steaming hot.  The fish was nice and white and was cooked to perfection.  The fish was soft, fresh and with the tartar sauce, a perfect combination to a very hungry stomach.  The fries were perfectly fried, not too soggy and not too burnt.  The batter on the fish was perfectly done in my mind in that it was a rather thin layer so that it did not overwhelm the fish.  I was quite satisfied with the meal and ate all the fish and ate every fry that was on the plate.

Having been here for so many years and having had so many different dishes, I don't think I have ever been disappointed coming here.  The atmosphere is perfect for conversations and meetings and the staff is always courteous and nice.  I will miss the place when my downtown meetings come to end.  If you get a chance and you want a good healthy lunch or dinner, come on over to the Trios Bistro.  You won't be disappointed.  Overall I give it a 4 out of 5.
