Pan on The Danforth - Toronto

PAN Mediterranean Cuisine is quickly becoming our favourite restaurant in the city. The food is not your typical Greek formulaic fair.

The $28 Winterlicious dinner in 2017 included dishes such as floured calamari, pan chicken souvlaki, baklava, a trilogy of spreads, tilapia fillet, and ravani. The food was mediocre.

The restaurant decor and service was impeccable but lunch was mediocre - there were 4 of us and we each ordered something different - two had summerlicious menu and two had proper dinners. The potatoes were not Greek lemon potatoes but rather boiled plain baby potatoes- the rice was plain boiled rice - the salad was fine and my grilled calamari was very tender but overall the meal was kinda tasteless. Even my husbands pastisio was not bursting with the flavours that Mediterranean cooking evoke. Maybe it was an off day - but the staff were very nice and the outside patio was very inviting.

I stopped by this restaurant for a late lunch today because it had a beautiful terrace with lots of plants, flowers, and linen tablecloths. We ordered the trio of spreads - tzatziki, hummus, and taramasalata, the stuffed vine leaves, and the zucchini fritters. Everything was delicious, especially the tzatziki. The service was excellent. Overall, it was a lovely meal and I would definitely recommend this place.

The restaurant is in a fantastic location on the Danforth, with plenty of parking options available to the north or south. The menu offers a wide variety of Greek dishes and everything we tried was delicious. The staff were extremely friendly and we had no complaints. We would definitely return in the future. We sat at the back of the restaurant, which was a nice experience.
