Those who know, know to end an evening at King West's Café Renee with a visit to this speakeasy — located above the bustle of the restaurant's dining room.

Life doesn't often offer the opportunity to pair Unicorn Sparkles with uni-laced bucatini but this Ossington Avenue bar makes it (and so much more) possible.

From tiger's milk bluefin to meats, pastas, and more, the menu of Asian-inspired eats turns happy hour into a feast.
