Fodor's Expert Review Nota Bene

Once the first name in Toronto fine dining, Nota Bene has loosened up ever so slightly over the years, becoming a refined yet approachable spot just as perfect for a cocktail and a snack as for a memorable full meal. The pretheater prix-fixe menu, with options like heirloom beet salad, sea bass, or pappardelle with Bolognese sauce, is available from 5 to 6:30 pm, while luxe bar snacks like porcini mushroom arancini and a slider topped with Ontario beef are just $4 between 4 and 7 pm.
