Top 10 dishes of 2015
Chorizo ribs: Barque made its reputation on its smoked meats and Barque Butcher Bar is no different. Thickly cut and full of meat, these ribs haven't a gram of fat on them. Its pimento paste and garlic flavour is not only addictive, it mimics the spice signature of an actual chorizo sausage. Served in a warm, small, cast iron pan, with tangy ribbons of pickled vegetables, this dish, though pricey for the portion, is worth every penny.

Toronto’s best restaurant spinoffs and new locations: 2015
Barque Butcher Bar is a spinoff of Barque Smokehouse, located just down the street. It’s a butcher shop by day and a snack bar at night. Before 5 pm the butcher counter is well-stocked with local meats and everything you need to make a good barbecued meal, including specialty rubs, sauces and wood chips. While they still serve lunch and even alcohol alongside the butcher shop fare, the real transformation begins later: after 5 pm the place turns into a busy bar and dining room. The evening menu features a selection of meat-centric dishes with an international flair.

A round-up of Toronto’s new restaurants from 2015
This hybrid project neighbours up to the original Barque Smokehouse, Toronto’s beloved BBQ restaurant on Roncesvalles Avenue. Offering patrons the best of both worlds (and as the name aptly points out), this spot is a butcher and high-end curated grocer by day, and cocktail and snack bar by night. Pick up everything from brisket to bottled bbq sauce to citrus smoked salmon at the butcher and café, or head over for a post-work bevvy and charcuterie board in the evening.
