Bar Buca

Bar Buca is the kind of place that understands that you may need a little upper with your downer. Equally interested in the coffee scene as much as wine and cocktails, it is a casual place to grab a snack and shoot the breeze. Italy's aperitivo tradition is held in place daily from 4 pm to 7 pm, in an industrial chic Toronto kind of way. This means you get a free snack with each drink, which we are surprised works in North American culture. We would say assaggini are like "tapas" but that has lately become synonymous with pretension and this is great, approachable food. Just 38 seats which are often filled with foodies and conversation. Try one of the 17 by-the-glass wine options.
