Beast is one of my favourite spots in Toronto. It's a bistro/tapas joint with all fresh, locally sourced ingredients and specializes in your atypical meats, fishes and veggies for really different, cool take. The plates are all made for sharing and are a little bit smaller. I have loved every dish I have had there. So tasty and well balanced. The cocktails are made perfectly as well. Because they are small sharing plates the price adds up and its a little steep but once in a while, its my go-to special place. My favourite thing is the atmosphere. It's not clubby or too trendy like other places in Toronto. It's relaxing and quiet without being lame. It has a real down to earth atmosphere. And the service is excellent. Every waiter I have had there has been super knowledgeable, courteous and totally on the ball.
