Frommer's Review

While I was sad to see Avalon close its doors in 2006 after an 11-year run, Chef Chris McDonald has opened an extraordinary restaurant uptown. This jewel of a dining room is hidden in an alleyway, so the trick is finding it. But the effort is worth it since Cava offers exquisite tapaslike plates and sparking wines at prices that won't break your budget. The menu does have its pricey side (a flute of Nicolas Feuillatte champagne is C$20/£10), but if you stick with salt cod cake with chipotle cream, four oysters on the half-shell with tomatillo salsa, or 3-minute flank steak with chimichurri, you can't go wrong.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
