While during my visit to Toronto I was blessed with the good luck of the Annual "Taste Of The Danforth" weekend Greek Food Festival, on the Danforth. There was an array of live entertainment, and Greek food (of course) tasting at practically every block. The street was closed to all traffic for this marvelous event. I actually saw a Spock look-a-like dressed just like the character in Star Trek, equipped with his pointy ears and phaser weapon-posing for and with persons who were interested. I noticed he was wearing a "tips" bottle on his belt. Everyone needs to pay their bills, right ? I started getting hungry by around the supper hour on this cloudy Sunday evening and debated which restaurant I should go to. My actor friend from Toronto, Mr. John Wildman (yes, he is a wild man !), was so kind as to recommend me a very good restaurant meditteranean cuisine called "Lolita's Lust". 513 Danforth avenue, just east of Logan street. The food and the service was utterly amazing, I must say. I had the lamb shank dish. It was braised in its juices and sprinkled with goat cheese accompanied with some rapini greens. It was one of the best lamb I ever ever had-really. My friend had the linguine pasta with seafood. It was also very good. The scallops were big and juicy, and fresh ! We had a fried dumpling stuffed with lobster meat as an appetizer. Wow, that was good too. The peanut sauce which came with the dumpling was smooth and tasty. We had each a glass of white wine with our meal, a Pinot Grigio, recommended by our wonderful server. Excellent ! I was surprised a little by how affordable the whole meal was. I've been to many upscale restos that were nothing close to the quality and value that I received at Lolita's Lust restaurant. You must try this place ! Website: www.lolitaslust.ca
