Casa Mendoza
Humber Bay
2161 Lake Shore Blvd. W, Etobicoke, Ontario
http://www.casamendoza.com/

Today’s Groupon: for $24, you get $50 worth of seafood and steak-house fare at Casa Mendoza in Etobicoke.

Casa Mendoza’s chefs plate a multiterrestrial menu of succulent steaks, fresh seafood, and packed pasta plates. Warm up palates with an order of the marinated-and-battered calamari, which gracefully swan dives into homemade Cajun mayonnaise ($9.95). A redolent cape of fresh garlic, herbs, and chimichuri sauce swathes the 10-ounce new york strip loin ($27.95), which busies forks and knives and instills jealousy in spoons. A heaping surf ‘n’ turf platter combines a fillet of beef tenderloin with sumptious broiled rock-lobster tail ($44.95), and the homemade gnocchi doubles as plush pillows for fresh lobster meat and rests under a hand-crocheted blanket of Dungeness-crab cream sauce ($21.95).

Live music regales diners in the evening, during which they can dance off dinner disputes that could not be resolved by mere thumb wrestling. Patrons enjoy dazzling views of Lake Ontario as they digest, and a nearby butterfly garden, park, and walking path avail themselves for postdinner strolls.

Crown Princess lavishes diners with a sumptuous Cantonese menu of savoury meat and seafood delicacies made from premium, rare ingredients. Epicureans can enlist the dim sum artisans to top their ornate rotating table centres with a lighted Christmas-tree angel or a spread of underwater delights, including the sautéed crispy prawn with sweet-and-sour sauce ($26) and the sautéed jumbo scallops with palm seed and con poy ($28). The culinary museum also tickles the taste buds of chopstick wielders with an artful arrangement of braised cabbage and chinese prosciutto ham ($20) and summons the exotic nectar of tropical pineapple to sweeten morsels of stir-fried duck ($18). As the ethereal light of crystal chandeliers dances off the Crown Princess’s marble murals, illuminated guests can relish a dish of singapore fried vermicelli ($16) or carve busts of their favourite Nobel laureates from the limestone decor. For lunch, diners choose from small ($3.10) to jumbo ($11) sized plates of various freshly prepared dim sum options from a menu that, like a seasonal carousel, rotates regularly.

Embrujo Flamenco Tapas Restaurant
97 Danforth Ave., Toronto, ON

http://www.embrujoflamenco.com/

Today’s Groupon to Embrujo Flamenco Tapas Restaurant on Danforth Avenue. Choose between the following options:

• For $25, you get $50 worth of tapas and Spanish wine.
• For $29, you get a three-course paella Festival menu for one, available through June 30 (a $49 value).

Embrujo Flamenco boasts an extensive selection of authentic Spanish tapas crafted with traditional cooking methods in its sophisticated and oft flamenco-boosted environment. For a traditional Madridian experience, sweet-and-salty bacon-wrapped dates ($6.95) detonate juicy flavour bombs that shatter previously held reservations about tap dancing in public. The puntillas en salsa de mostaza, a grilled Black Angus sirloin served over house cut fries ($10.95), proves that shareables can have hearty hearts. Herbivoyeurs watching you dine from over the host’s shoulder will salivate over the abundant selection of vegetarian tapas, including the garlic-and-mushroomy champi-ones al ajillo ($8.95). Through June 30, diners can also opt for the three-course paella Festival menu, which rotates paella variations daily. The arroz negro dyes rice and seafood black with squid ink, and the paella langosta spikes the traditional dish with lumps of lobster.

With exposed brick walls and sophisticated urban decor, this eatery is an ideal place to impress an expatriate Spaniard on a first date or during a live-action-role-playing job interview. Complimentary flamenco shows take place Wednesday–Sunday (a minimum of $30/person is required on show nights).
