The Nameless Restaurant: A Cozy Cooking Fantasy (Hidden Dishes)

A slice of life adventure of food and magic


There is a restaurant in Toronto. Its entrance is announced only by a simple, unadorned wooden door, varnished to a beautiful shine but without paint, hidden beside dumpsters and a fire escape. There is no sign, no indication of what lies behind the door.


If you do manage to find the restaurant, the décor is dated and worn. Homey, if one were to be generous. The service is atrocious, the proprietor a grouch. The regulars are worse, silent, brooding, and unfriendly to newcomers. There is no set menu, alternating with the whim and whimsy of the owner. The selection of wine and beer is sparse or non-existent at times, and the prices for everything outrageous.


There is a restaurant in Toronto that is magically hidden, whose service is horrible, and whose food is divine.


This is the story of the Nameless Restaurant.

Was so cozy just as advertised and the addition to the recipes being added to the back of the book definitely put it over the top for me. It also pulled me in and made me look into Tao Wong and his other works! They're on my wishlist now! Where the score drops is, there are some editing errors. Misspelled words or sentences that don't make sense. It's mostly towards the beginning. But the book was cute enough and interesting enough that you do get past it! Will definitely be looking into the rest of the Hidden Universe.
