Kudos to ‘Globe Bistro Kids’
Ever since having a baby four months ago fine dining outings have gone out the window. We make up for it by splurging in our cooking sometimes but last weekend I was craving being out and having a nice meal. Since I’m still nursing and my baby wakes up a few times a night to eat, getting someone to babysit isn’t really an option yet. So we decided to step it up at brunch instead and made a date with other friends with a kid. Globe Bistro on the Danforth in Toronto has been on my list of places to try since they opened. They use seasonal, local ingredients and their menu is mouthwatering.
After I left them a messages regarding a reservation for four adults, plus one child so we needed a high chair, plus a baby in a stroller so we needed space I thought for sure they’re not calling back. But a very friendly man did call back and was happy to accomodate us. We had a great experience. The food was excellent and I was completely comfortable being there, babies and all. The restaurant is spacious, they do indeed have high chairs and we weren’t the only families dining there. Not only can you have a fantastic meal but you can also do it up by ordering their ‘boozey smoothies’, mimosas or caesars. I was only slightly disappointed that they forgot the aged cheddar on my eggs and that we had to wait so long for a hand-squeezed fresh orange juice. It was worth the wait.
This is a great place to do family dining in style and I was happy to satisfy my craving to pamper my tastebuds. Fine dining doesn’t have to go out the window after having a baby after all!
