As Toronto’s Entertainment District is under siege from local government and condo developers who greedily eye the large buildings in the area, and as King West becomes boring, while West Queen West loses its cache, the Ossington strip has become the new hotspot for the bohemian, avant-garde, and the hipster.

One of those making Ossington their home base is chef Teo Paul, who recently opened the restaurant Union on this strip. This is Teo’s first restaurant and is a Toronto native, the restaurant is modeled after a place in Paris called Le Petit Fer a Cheval “Little Horseshoe”.

I had the steak frites, amazing for $55.00 for two, we shared a succulent tender cut of beef, served with delicious frites with a sweet but spicy aioli, and steamed bok choy and kael. The atmosphere and service was stealer. I walked by this restaurant and peaked in last weekend when I came out of Baby Huey, just the décor and lighting made it desirable. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and will defiantly return, soon!
