we went last night, and while the atmosphere was fantastic the food was not.  Completely overpriced, and subpar. The pierogies were said to have contained sweet potato, smoked gouda and garlic.  All you could taste was potato.  Totally flavorless, and fried! (I know its the western way to do pierogi, but it was just disappointing).  We started with the charcouterie, and while some of the cured meats were great, and the walnut loaf was fantastic, there was no grainy mustard, no flavored butter, nothing to go with the dry bread and meat... weird, no?

I wouldn't go back, it seems like the kind of place yuppie hipsters go to be seen....]]>

the sign is beautifully done. And I agree that the food has never been impressive. And now what?? What an infamy done by the chef "at that time". Now the shameful chef moved to other place.  ]]>

I am the daughter of the  orginal owners of the Czehoski Butcher store. Just a little history for any one that is interested. The store was owned and operated by my grandfather and grandmother they had 6 children. The oldest was my father Stanley. The family grew up in the store there were bedrooms upstairs and a basement to the store. My Grandparents passed away when I was very young. My parents divorced and my father went to live back at the store with his brother and sister who never married. My father worked his whole life at the store and the family were very famous for the Polish sausage they made called Kalbasa. They would make the sausage twice a week and people would line up around the block. At the time there were no Loblaws or big Grocery stores. If you were Polish you knew the name Czehoski. The store opertaed for over 60 years up until my father passed in 1984. It closed shortly after but his sister and brother continued living there. The building it shelf is well over 80 years old. I was able to visit the resturant before it opened, it brought back alot of memories the smell I know as little girl visiting or working at the store was still there to me. The walk in freezer, the butcher block, and the display case that used to show case the meat. Shortly after the resturant opened a girlfriend and I went for dinner. I have course made reservations under the name Czehoski and the waitress seemed quite impress that a was a Czehoski. I was not too impressed by the food, found it quite pricy. Over dinner I mentioned to my girlfriend that my father would find it silly how the food was layer on top of each other it would not be his style of choice. My father was a very simple man with simple tastes. He would be thrilled that a business continued to operate uder the Czehoski name and how they were able to preseve many of the pieces that he was so familuar with. It is great to drive by and see the Czehoski sign knowing it is the orginal sign and in no way has been changed that sign has had alot of famous people walk under it. With that sign my father still lives on.]]>

These days it's considered good taste to diss this place for being overpretentious and too expensive... but I can't help but like it.  One of my most memorable days from last summer involved a lunch at Czehoski, which consisted of a half pint of lager and brains with absinthe (don't know if that was the real stuff, or whether the real stuff is even legal in Canada - but I don't care).  And then I rode my bike east along the sun-kissed Queen Street.  It was a euphoric experience.  Partly due to my good mood in general, no doubt - but bad restaurants tend to turn off my good mood pretty quickly.]]>
