Parallel brings together the experience and background of the three Ozery brothers, Alon, Guy, and Aharon, to create this unique space and product. “We grew up in a home where sesame butter (tahini) was consumed regularly alongside flavourful Mediterranean cuisine. Parallel was born from our history and love for sesame butter. It’s part of our culture and upbringing, and we want to share that with you. There are few ingredients that are as versatile, nutritious, and just as damn tasty as sesame butter. That’s why we decided to make it in all its forms: try it in our dressings, salads, dips, bowls, and our famous homemade halva, and seed what is possible. The three of us share a passion for simple meals with fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and innovative techniques. That, along with our love for good coffee, art, music, and community, is what shapes the Parallel experience.”

Cathy Ortega & Gerald Aquintey didn't know what to expect after finally opening up a Filipino small grocery & takeout joint together. The shop was doing great but they wanted to do more. They wanted to give Toronto a much more authentic Filipino taste and experience without the price of a flight to the Philippines. Kamayan / Boodle Fight (the formality of eating with your hands) was the obvious solution.

Absolutely perfect in every way. We were 3 couples and asked for a round table and accomodated. We’re seniors, hard of hearing, challenging and had the most accommodating server named Greg who was unbelievably cordial and with a sense of humor. All in all, a great dining experience, food, service, atmosphere, comfort. Thank you C.T. - we’re in the ‘hood and happy to frequent!

First time here. And it didn't disappoint! Great flavours, portion sizes and the upstairs ambience was slightly more tranquil than downstairs (away from kitchen and bar). The octopus was decent, tartar great, and between the branding, beef cheek and pappardelle pasta, we all enjoyed. Our lovely server seemed flustered most of the night. Overly busy perhaps. More of a sympathy note than a critique.
