Restaurant Review: Soho Bistro

3202 Yonge St. 416.488.6976

It was so wonderful to discover this outdoor patio in the charming restaurant in the Lawrence and Yonge area. The patio is fortunate to be shaded with natural trees. On a very hot day we were actually cool in the shade. The patio was filled. The servers were extremely friendly. My grandson and I felt we were in a small town or another city. It was so warm and welcoming for a big city restaurant. My grandson and I were having a quick lunch together before moving on to our busy schedule. We hadn’t seen each other for a while and this was a convenient place to stop. We were delighted with our choice and with the food. The menu changes regularly. On this hot day I opted for the Red and Yellow Tomato Salad. The tomatoes were on a bed of fresh greens. Shaved Asia go cheese was the perfect touch to add to the salad. The balsamic vinaigrette was light and refreshing.($10.95) Cold Avocado Salad with Warm Baby Shrimp and Bay Scallops is served in a lemon basil dressing.($12.95) Cold Spinach Salad is served with mandarin segments, red pepper, toasted almonds and a grated egg with a cranberry vinaigrette.($11.55) Thin crust pizzas were a popular item this day. The Vegetarian Pizza offers fresh tomatoes, mushrooms, red and green peppers, Bermuda onions and feta.($12.95) The Soho Pizza offers chicken, bacon, Portobello, tomato, cheddar and mozza.($13.95) Alex was in the mood for pasta. He loved his Beef Linguine With Ground,Beef, wild Mushrooms and spinach in a spicy tomato sauce.(14.55) Capellini is served with jumbo shrimp, baby bockchoy and scallions in fresh tomato and olive oil broth.($15.95)A variety of main courses are offered for both lunch and dinner. Grilled Tuna with ginger has a soy and sesame seed vinaigrette.($22.95) The Grilled Veal Chop is served with a Dijon-white wine horseradish cream sauce.($25.95) Supreme of Chicken is stuffed with mushrooms, shallots and green pepper served with a fresh thyme glaze.($21.95)
