Tastes of the World

The poutinerie at College and Shaw went under to be replaced by the oddly named Fargo (Snack Bar). On Friday, I dropped by for a test. It offered an eclectic menu with Jamaican jerk chicken, Indian curries, and Asian bites. There aren't too many such places in multi-culti Toronto. Rasta Pasta is one such exception.

Unfortunately, Fargo wasn't quite as tasty. The veggie Kottu Roti ($9.50) I ordered was run-of-the-mill and lacked the spice and flavour associated with this rich dish. The location was also problematic. Though Little Italy is closer to Little East Asia nowadays, residents and visitors still expect a particular dining experience around here. This probably explains the lack of customers to this spot.

Update: Fargo disappeared a few months later and was replaced by yet another weirdly named place 'Ronto (likely for Toronto). The new spot still offers similar mix of dishes so it might be the same owners.
