July 11, 2013 by CityEvents
Filed under Event Venues, Ontario, Toronto, Uncategorized
Valdez is the new trendy restaurant that just opened on King Street by former chef de cuisine at Origin and Top Chef Canada contestant Steve Gonzalez.
Valdez is a celebration of Latin America food and fills a void in the Toronto evolving restaurant scene.
The menu is divided into four sections: Ceviches, Stuff (snack food, like chulpes and chips), More (entrees), and Dulce Y Algo (traditional desserts).
The aesthetic was a key component to translate the vision of the restaurant. Loud music, open kitchen, tables and colourful chairs will transport you to the streets of Colombia, Peru, Venezuela Mexico and other Latino countries.
Valdez will be open from 5:00pm – 10:30pm, Monday – Wednesday, and will offer a late-night menu Thursday – Saturday, with food service until midnight. The comfortable bar/lounge and spacious rooftop patio will be open from 5:30pm – 2:00am each day.
