 Eye Weekly - Food - 05.25.00
Although this part of Leslieville -- that non-distinctive area that's not quite the Beach, not quite Riverdale and is perhaps best described as simply in-between -- is not known for its gourmet eateries, Verveine, a classically cool new dining spot, has been drawing big crowds since it opened its doors a few months ago.
The fruit crumble melds the fruit of the moment (at this moment, it's apples and raspberries) with vanilla-bean ice cream and a decadent crème anglais.
With prices that are altogether mid-range reasonable (apps are $5 to $10, mains -- excluding specials -- from $14 to $19), Verveine may be just the thing to transform Leslieville from the in-between into somewhere to be.
