History

Established in 2014.

Southern Accent Restaurant is situated in a Victorian town house in Toronto’s Mirvish Village (near Bloor and Bathurst) with cozy corners, private rooms and a 1940’s bar. Following many successful and inspiring trips to Louisiana, Frances has found her niche. In 1984 she combined her love of folk art and antiques, music and food at Southern Accent. «We have combined the influence of the wonderful chefs of New Orleans whom we visited on our many trips to Louisiana, with our own ideas» says Frances. After many partners, who all had their creative input, we continue with currant partner Thessavan Maniceavasakan, this tradition of including many other cuisines in this melting pot of Cajun and Creole cooking. This has resulted in innovative recipes which we want to share with you, along with our version of the traditional ones.

With the news that Honest Eds and Mirvish Village have been sold Southern Accent Restaurant, now celebrating its 30th year, has an expiry date. The future on Markha

This little store does not seem like much on the outside, but let me tell you that it serves the same tasty, spicy cajun cuisine as the restaurant downtown. We had ordered the Voodoo pasta (seafood), hush puppies, cornbread, piquant shrimp, a shrimp po’ boy sandwich, two root beers, poutine with brisket, bread pudding and a wedge of pecan pie. The pasta was just as delicious as the one prepared in the Mirvish Village restaurant, the po’ boy was tasty, the hush puppies with sauce and piquant shrimp was hellishly hot (in a good way) and we fought over the bread pudding with banana fosters sauce. Again, the portions are generous so we had enough for lunch the next day. It is awesome to have such a great place so close to home. Thanks to the wonderful guys and gal who prepared our dinner tonight. :-)

I had the Cracked Catfish and grits. I really enjoyed them both. Was a good batter on the fish and the grits were creamy and went well with the fish.
My wife had a shrimp po’boy. While it wasn’t as good as New Orleans, it’s hard to find a po’boy in Toronto.
We also had sweet potato fries that seemed a bit under done.
Our meal came with 3 sauces: a tartar sauce, ginger remoulade, and a spicy mayo. All pretty good.

I thought it was a fairly decent set up for a take out place. They do have a sit down area and it has a diner feel to it. The prices are fair and the kid at the cashier is incredibly informative and knowledgable about the menu. I didn’t go check it out for so many months because the online menu showed such little selection but the reality is — there is a full fledge menu available and it’s pretty awesome priced! gourmet food on a dollar.
I had the seafood pasta which had an amazing sauce but the line cook didn’t boil the pasta long enough so it was a bit hard (I heard it was his first couple of shifts, but still quality is important).
I loved their calamari which is only $ 6.
Their seafood pasta is $ 11(and nice quantity of it too!)
Their blackened chicken was good but I prefer the breast cut into strips or pieces that way I taste more of the flavour, instead of a hunk of breast. I forgot the pricing but the mashed potatoes and veggies were great.
when I went in the second time the owner told me that he would give me some sugar beignets on the house due to the undercooked pasta my first visit
— and they were a tasty treat at $ 4 – 5.
Overall i’m bound to be a regular at this location (since it’s only a hop away from me). Honestly, this restaurant probably deserves more traffic and customers than its currently getting.

My husband and I went to the restaurant in the Annex a couple of years ago and had an amazing dinner. We went to the Express restaurant this evening in anticipation of the beignets. The girl serving us was very friendly and helpful. I asked what the most popular dish was and she told me the blackened chicken and brisket were. I ordered the seafood voodoo pasta dish (I had it at the restaurant and it was the best pasta I had ever had, this time it was disappointing and under seasoned) and my husband ordered the brisket (it wasn’t as tender as we expected and it was also under seasoned.
The beignets were the highlight of the meal. There were four of them and they were quite small but delicious. If they would make them in the shape as the beignets you get at Café Du Monde in New Orleans they would be the closest I’ve been able to find. We really wanted to like this place but we just didn’t, maybe we’re biased from our restaurant experience at the Annex.

Southern Accent started up in the Annex Downtown and recently opened up a location at Midland and St Clair in Scarbrough. I love that there is now a Southern food place on the East end of the city! I have been meaning to go in and just stopped in for their coffee and beignet special (1.95!) this morning. The service was great and the coffee (I am drinking now) is very good! The beignets were made fresh to order and were warm to eat. The menu looked great, the oysters and brisket po boy sandwich were items that caught my eye first. I am looking forward to trying a full meal at this new restaurant!
