Finding a Yorkville restaurant by the ROM is not always an easy task. Toronto’s premiere museum plays host to a stream of tourists each year but is predominantly surrounded by cheap eats in The Annex and and overpriced options in Yorkville.
A few months ago I read about the launch of Museum Tavern, located just west of Avenue Road on Bloor Street. People have been raving about this new addition to the “Museum Hood.” My new favourite “bite by the ROM,” features a cutesy French bistro interior, creative cocktail list and kitchen offering a wide spectrum of snackabilities.
I ordered a cocktail with tart bite and shared a spicy cheese dip adorned with pickled jalapeno peppers before devouring a massive burger accompanied by crispy french frites. The food here is fantastic.
