Defina Wood Fired

Flame-grilled meats and gourmet pizzas served in an expansive space with contemporary decor. 

Their local influence extends right down to the original brick walls where local artists and trades people were hired to create the space from the ground up. Their wood burning oven was meticulously built on site one stone at a time by a local mason.

Colombian Street Food by Cookie Martinez

She has been devoted to creating delicious recipes since she was a young girl in her mum’s kitchen in Bogotá, Colombia. (Her specialty as an eight year-old was a spicy pasta). Now she prepares Colombian street food.

Great food begins with great ingredients. She feels so lucky to be cooking here in Toronto where so much is possible. She has also developed gluten-free and vegan/vegetarian options, so please go and see her at the new location at 1565 Dupont Street. She’d love to cook for you!
