Foxley

Top marks to this South Asian-inspired bistro that was among the flag bearers for what is now a most vivacious stretch of Toronto dining — the Ossington Ave. restaurant row — for so faithfully keeping the beat. That, trumpet its many devotees, is because those with an eye on the food also never took their eye off the ball. A steady march of consistently prepared dishes makes its way from kitchen to table here, always earning praise for spot-on execution, presentation and pricing. Standouts include the ever-reliable Arctic char ceviche, the ever-surprising fried lamb and duck prosciutto dumplings, and the ever-scrumptuous Thai chili fried chicken.
