Fynn's of Temple Bar

Location:
489 King Street West, Toronto

www.fynnstemplebar.com

It used to be a Fionn MacCool's and now the name isn't all that different but the menu certainly is.  For one, they have these God-awful photographs that don't really look related to anything ON the menu. Things like three scoops of vanilla ice-cream that looks as if a bite were taken out of one of the scoops. And tomatoes. Just you know, random tomatoes.

Regardless, Fynn's is always a staple lunch time spot for us 'cause it serves what we really want for lunch on Fridays: beer. In my case, Guinness.

The food is still yummy and plentiful in portion-size.

Can't ever go wrong with the Fish n chips.

Unfortunately my fave Jerk Tilapia has now been changed to tilapia with pesto and tomatoes (ah, I see where the image of tomatoes comes in useful now). It's not bad, but I miss the Jerk Tilapia 'cause it had a delicious pineapple salsa on top. Bring it back, please!

pesto tilapia and roasted tomatoes on quinoa and basmati rice, with veggies, $16


Overall, no complaints though, this is definitely the best pub on King street near Spadina.

Ackee Tree

I've not eaten a full meal at Ackee Tree.

The Jerk fries that I ordered were quite sadly limp and lacking in any real Jerk flavour, however, that said, my friends who ordered the chicken roti and BBQ chicken meals were more or less satisfied with their meals.

Here, the said orders:

Not so fresh Jerk Fries

Boneless Curry Chicken Roti [caption id="" align="alignnone" width="384" caption="Boneless Curry Chicken Roti $11.99 "][/caption]1.99

BBQ Chicken [caption id="" align="alignnone" width="512" caption="BBQ Chicken $10.95"][/caption]0.95

I was fully pleased with my Old Jamaican Ginger Beer...especially when the first sip exploded with some tang! through my nasal cavity.

Always a fan of ginger beer..with sometang.

I've not written off Ackee Tree, I can't do that based only on fries...
