C'est what is a pioneer and continuing innovator in the Toronto craft brew scene. These guys started off in the late 1980's when it wasn't cool to serve local brew. In fact, it was business suicide. You would have to imagine that they had a few sleepless nights (perhaps added by some fine Ontario craft ale?) wondering about their decision to go local way, way ahead of the curve.

Now it's 2011 and they're laughing.

C'est What? Consistently serves up the finest this land has to offer in terms of beer, and some really solid eats. Think "haute pub". Daily specials are prepared freshly and expertly, and a beer pairing is easy to obtain from their approachable staff.

The atmosphere is right where I like it - quiet at times, raucous at others. It's equally suited to a Friday night on the town or a quiet Wednesday afternoon, nestled up with the paper, a pint and a fantastic burger.

For it's enthusiastic support of the craft brew scene and for being not only an originator but a leader, I give this place a solid 4-star rating.
