Little Shmiddy’s Hot Meat House

Hands down the best food in Cabbagetown! Their burgers are amazing and they definitely have the best Reuben sandwich you will ever taste. So freakin good. Even their salads are to die for. Everything is prepared to perfection and with obvious care. The seating is very limited so make a reservation or come early. It’ll be worth it!

Incredible food!!! Amazing cosy environment.
Pork, brisket, beef cheek, chowder, fries, potato skins… all amazing.
Wine is reasonable, 24 for a bottle of sangiovese.
Chef makes it a truly personable experience for guests… wonderful all around.

Michael is a fantastic chef. His dishes are always inspiring and interesting. The specials are KILLING. Each experience has truly been transcendent.
The atmosphere is great, the staff are great. It only gets better and better with each time we go.
I can’t say enough good about the place. Check it out and you won’t be disappointed.

Amazing service and even better food, walked by the Resteraunt a couple times and decided to try it out and I am very happy we did.
The potato wedge appetizer was beautifully seasoned with just the right amount of salt and fresh thyme. For the main, I ordered one of the specials; pasta with brisket and a tomato sauce. It was delicious and the portion size was perfect. My friend ordered the beef cheeks, which came with an au jus, potato purée, warmed spinach and pesto. Also delicious. We would definitely order everything we ordered and come again.
The atmosphere is warm and cozy and the staff is very hospitable. Call ahead to make a reservation as there is limited seating.

Torontotarians, this is what you call a hidden gem! This little cozy restaurant blew my mind with both incredible food and service. We had reserved the place for a personal event; therefore, the items ordered may be different than the menu. I would highly recommend this restaurant hands down!
Charcuterie (⁵⁄₅) — This is easily one of the best charcuterie I have ever had. The texture of the shaved cheese was surreal. The meats were extremely fresh. A perfect start to the night. You have to try this! It is simply amazing!
Tartare (4.5÷5) — Extremely fresh and flavourful. A little splash of pesto olive oil makes the whole dish work so well together.
Braised Beef cheek and pork belly (⁵⁄₅) — Oh my god. The most tender and juicy piece of meat as it just melts and falls apart in your mouth. The texture from the crunchy pork belly added depth to the plate.
I had lost count after the third course because I was too busy eating and savoring the flavours. One of the best restaurants I have tried yet and defnitely has the «Wow» factor. Highly recommended!
Note to self and a warning to all customers. If you attempt to do pullups on the moose antlers, wear a helmet.

Space is cramped and uncomfortable. Our group of 5 arrived when the place was nearly empty and was given a small table for 4, even though there was a table for 6 which was later given to a group of 3. When the food arrived, the server handed the plates to us (not placing them on the table) and left us holding them since there was no way to actually fit them on the small table.
Service was horrible and the waiter was unpleasant. One friend asked if he could have some extra veggies instead of the potatoes that came as the sides to his beef cheek, and was told absolutely not.
Food was delicious! We had a number of different main dishes and starter dishes and they were all fantastic. It was more than I expected to pay, and longer than I wanted to wait, but not unreasonable.

I’m somewhat reluctant to write a good review here because the restaurant is a bit small and I want to be able to get in on a regular basis.
A nice cozy spot with well priced, very good, food.

OK y’all. You gotta try this place! The food here was freaking off the hook, all super reasonably priced. Recently opened in cabbagetown, this hidden gem was one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time! Started with the chatcuterie board with homemade saucisson sausage, tete de moine cheese and pickled beets. The cheese was shaved off from a cheese wheel by rotating the blade on top making a light airy shaved ice texture which was super cool, rarely is cheese served like this. Everything worked so well together.
The braised beef cheek was fantastic. Melt in mouth, flavorful, paired nicely with the demi glacé, broccolini, and bread pudding.
Overall vibe was great. décor is so nice and homey, and the owners are just simply so passionate about their food.
This place was so good, wow. Seriously. Go.

The food was excellent and of a standard one would expect to find in a high-​end restaurant or hotel. It is a charming, cozy, rustic little place that holds only about a dozen patrons. That said, i found it pricey ($ 13 for two small coffees and two refills) and i felt the server came on a little strong with her repartee.
