Pride Weekend Dining
With Pride weekend coming up this saturday and sunday, and the main parade on sunday, is there a good restaurant with decent food and a nice patio where we can watch the festivities?
Thanks

Just a chow heads up for street food fans. Susur Lee has a booth set up that's selling his famous slaw and also "cheeseburger spring rolls". The spring roll is $5 and served in a cone with what can be turned into a lettuce wrap with various veggies and was delish. The booth is on the west side of Church just north of Carlton.
Fans of Poutini's can grab a decent sized poutine for $5 in the same area.

Fuzion is your best bet on Church for anything other than mediocre to horrible overpriced pub food. But if you really want to eat on Church St. after the parade I'd really suggest you don't wait until the last semi loaded with dancing twinks with squirt guns has passed. Right after the parade Church St. gets mobbed to the point where it's hard to move around on the street. Even harder to get into a venue with food or drink. Good luck!

i agree fuzion is one of the better places to eat, north on queen, lola's commissary is fairly solid, wish between yonge and church is a good bet, marriott hotel on bloor as a couple of window tables and hotel food, peridot across the street from the marriott has a great patio at the start of the parade-although i've never eaten there. now magazine has a pride dining section this week that may help. but the reality is that church is filled with mediocre to bad pub grub-which may be enough given the amount of alcohol consumed this weekend. keep in mind everything will be uber busy and seemingling understaffed and tempers will be short, line ups long and waits seemingly forever. happy pride and welcome to the out of towners

I have not since the reopening but have heard excellent things about Wish. Friends mentioned it was way better than before and it got a good write up in NOW. They used to take reservations too. Like ingloriius meantioned it would be an excellent alternative to the overpriced pub stuff on Church. At all costs avoid The Village Rainbow, they can screw up fozen fries there.

Scroll down to the "community" section. I think they moved it because of G20
That said, I have no food suggestions for you.

Are you sure? Dammit I was told it was this weekend!
At least I'll be able to put in an early reservation for next year! :)

Oh well, better luck next year! Thanks TorontoJo. I was out of the city last weekend, so missed all the fun.

Went to Fuzion last night. They have a gorgeous patio for dinner and/or drinks. Service leaves a lot to be desired, but the food is not bad. It's not a destination dining experience, but it's one of the best options in the Village.
Another option is Kaiseki Sakura but no patio. Excellent Japanese food (search the Board for reviews) and extensive sake menu.
