Commensal
http://www.commensal.ca/
655 Bay St. Toronto, Ontario
(416) 596-9364

Today’s Groupon to Commensal. Choose from the following options:

• For $17, you get a vegetarian buffet dinner for two (up to a $35 value).
• For $30, you get a vegetarian buffet dinner for four (up to a $70 value).
• For $40, you get a vegetarian buffet dinner for six (up to a $105 value).

Each dinner includes the following:

• Up to $15 worth of buffet fare per person
• One non-alcoholic drink per person (a $2.50 value)

The above deal values reflect average spends. Each visit to the buffet is charged by dish weight—$24.30 per kilogram from the hot or cold buffet, and $27.70 per kilogram from the dessert buffet—and Commensal’s staff maintains a tab for each table. The average customer purchases $17.50 or less per meal.

Favouring organic, all-natural ingredients, the chefs at Commensal fill a vegetarian buffet with dishes ranging from vegan to ovo-lacto vegetarian specialties. The hot buffet emanates an array of colours, aromas, and jingles about healthy living as bands of gourmands survey dishes including ratatouille and Portuguese-style bean stew festooned with fried tofu, plum tomatoes, and bay leaves. To temper palates kindled by steamy fare, the cold buffet yields creations such as avocado topped in sweet scallions and doused in caper vinaigrette. The dessert buffet then tempts diners by presenting maple-syrup-tinged chocolate-mousse cake beside vegan double-chocolate-chunk cookies that call to diners like Barry White speaking through a subwoofer.

Like traditional candy lollipops, lamb lollipops grilled alongside fenugreek and mint ($24) silence filibustering children, and seared, lemon-tinged malai halibut bathes in a fragrant coconut broth ($22). Vegetarian dishes include dal makhani ($9), a mélange of lentils cooked for 12 hours in a buttery tomato sauce, and the vegetarian curry duo ($17), which introduces cheesy saag paneer to a spicy mix of vegetables. Canvases depicting the Indian countryside hang over maple panelling, and woven lanterns illuminate linen-covered tables set with copper dining utensils such as standard flatware and slingshots.

Comedy Bar
http://comedybar.ca/
945 Bloor St. Toronto, Ontario

Today’s GrouponLive deal for a comedy outing for two at Comedy Bar (up to a $44 total value). Each outing includes the following:

• Two tickets to a weeknight or weekend show (up to a $24 value)
• $20 toward food and drink

The producers at Comedy Bar populate their main stage and cabaret space with local and nationally touring acts that have helped earn accolades such as Best Comedy Club from the readers of NowToronto. On February 4, Toronto native Noam “Moe” Rosen does a whistle stop on the main stage to spin an absurdist yarn about how his nickname became his real name, and CBC veterans Dave Shumka and Graham Clark grace the cabaret stage on March 3 to silently fence with TV antennas. The club also lassos laughs with an assortment of comedic collectives, with Theatresports improv battles on Saturday nights in the cabaret space, and mock-soap-opera sketch The Soaps on Thursday evenings on the main stage.

The servers at Comedy Bar fuel guffaw muscles with a well-stocked menu of pub grub, which houses hearty platters such as the bacon cheeseburger ($10) as well as deliciously leafy plates, from mixed greens tossed in signature grapefruit or miso-ginger vinaigrette ($7) to the pear and cheyre salad ($7.50). Draft beers from local breweries including Mill Street and Sleeman join in on the revelry by giggling when poured ($5.75/pint).

$55 for a three-course Italian meal for two (up to a $130 total value), which includes:

• One à la carte primi piatti, such as penne alla vodka (up to a $32 value)

Tappo Wine Bar and Restaurant
Evidence of toronto.com’s enthusiasm about Tappo Wine Bar and Restaurant’s “thoughtfully presented” dishes and decor that marry “the past with the present” can be witnessed immediately upon entering the history-laden space, a converted whiskey distillery built in the 1830s. As affable servers bustle about the rustic stone walls of the dining room, chef Tyson Lambert and his crew of culinary gurus dash about the kitchen, architecting dishes that, like an opera about baba gannouj, fuse Italian classics with Mediterranean influences. Chefs’ fingers deftly construct meals featuring ingredients such as fresh herbs, seasonal vegetables, and truffle jus. Bathed in the romantic glow of candles, chandeliers, and wall sconces, Tappo staffers replenish dwindling wine glasses with red and white libations selected from the 13-page wine list featuring oenological quaffs flown in from around the globe.
