Mhel
Korean-Japanese
The name means "anchovy" in a Jeju dialect, and a little fish decal above the door is the only signage you'll notice. Inside this 30-seat Korean-Japanese small plates spot on a quiet Bloor West residential street, the menu rotates daily around seasonal Ontario produce and carefully sourced imports, with a sake list doing most of the heavy lifting on drinks. It holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand and a spot on North America's 50 Best.
