I discovered Zocalo over the summer while wandering along Bloor Street West. The restaurant has a very unassuming chalkboard sign in the front so if you’re looking for the restaurant, keep an eye out for it! Their menu changes based on what ingredients are available each season and specializes in “broken bread” plates.
While I didn’t have one of their broken bread plates for lunch, they are often my go-to choice when I eat here. The plate looks like a de-constructed sandwich and comes with a variety of components. They also offer vegetarian and gluten free options as well which is something I love! Please note that if you do have any nut allergies like I do, they do have dishes that contain walnuts, sunflower seeds, etc.
