We were downtown to catch Los Zafiros at the VIFF on Friday and had to try out Kitanoya Guu with Otokomae. Like the other Guu's, the homestyle Japanese "tapas" were hearty, tasty and interesting.
The
new Guu is located in what looks like a space that was occupied by a
bar. The decor is dark wood and brick, somewhat unusual for casual
Japanese dining. The service is also a bit more formal and upscale than
the other Guu's. The food, however, is similar: inexpensive,
uncomplicated and flavourful small dishes.
On Friday
night our favourites were a hot and sour clam stew with rice, a spinach
salad with tuna and bacon, and a miso and pepper glazed grilled sable
fish. None of the dishes we ordered costed more that $7.20. Our total
for the feast (enough for 3 people!) was $36.99 and included 5 dishes,
a pineapple vodka cocktail and juice.
