Amazing Steak Frites In Toronto!
Intro
Well, what a fun afternoon I had in Toronto during my one-night stay. Being a third Canadian, it sort of felt like being at home and combining that with seeing one of my best friends in the world, I truly had a lovely time. When I went to high school, I had this ride-or-die friend who stood by my side no matter the circumstances, so when he heard I was coming to Toronto, he pulled out all the stops, including Steak Frites, ice cream, and riding around the town in a convertible.
The Afternoon
Once I landed in Toronto from Newark, I made my way outside, where my best friend was waiting in his convertible car 😅. He mentioned that he had made reservations for one of his favorite steak frites places in Toronto!
Traffic at this hour was nuts, so it ended up taking about an hour to get downtown to J's steak frites.
Once we got downtown, the next hurdle was parking, which can be a hot mess, depending on the day and time. Needless to say, we found a spot about half a mile away and walked over to J's.
So what is J's? J's is a steak frites restaurant with two locations that serve a set menu that consists of:
Free unlimited bread
Free unlimited french fries
1 10-ounce sirloin steak cooked to your preference
For 60 CAD, it's not that bad of a deal to guarantee good food and a full belly. The restaurant is decadent, and the food is sublime; I mean, the steak was top-notch for a steak frites!😌
We sat for an hour, discussing life and catching up on what was new in life. However, we were both craving ice cream and decided to head off on a walk further downtown.
Toronto is a beautiful and bustling city; if you have the opportunity to spend a bit of time here, I cannot recommend it enough. Just be prepared if you visit in the winter, as it is freezing😂.
We found our ice cream!
Then it was back to the airport since I had booked a hotel near the airport to be closer to my morning departure. Does anyone else do this?
Final Thoughts
While I didn't get to spend much time in Toronto, I did get to check out J's steak frites downtown. If you are looking for a place to have a good steak frites and fill your belly, this is the place! For 60 CAD, unlimited bread, fries, and a 10-ounce steak.
What a great afternoon! I am grateful to my mate for treating me so well. As you will read about in this upcoming trip, my friends really pulled out the stops🙂
