BEST DINING - "It has a unique menu, excellent wine selection and great ambiance." Karen Stintz, Councillor, Ward 16 (as printed in North Toronto Post Magazine, June 2005) "Warm and intimate spot. Attractive wine cellar décor. When you enter they greet you like they missed you - expect a hug!" 2006 Patron's Pick Toronto's Favourite Restaurants "Richlee's intimate surroundings and warm, personal service make it a wonderful destination for that special Valentine's dinner…or any night of the week." Shana Friedman, North York Post Magazine (February 2004) "With a wine list that spans the globe, Richlee's offers carefully selected Old and New World bottles at a 'value for your dollar' price. The more adventurous patron may choose to discover a hidden treasure from among (the owner's 100 or so) unlisted, but exquisite, supply of fine wines." Toronto's Fifty Best Restaurants Guide (2001) "A long list of ports bears witness to the owners' Portuguese lineage and can be matched to the well-executed desserts. Pecan pie manages to temper its inherent sweetness with a full complement of nuttiness. House special, a warm pie of tender peaches, pears and apples, is served with a flavourful homemade toasted hazelnut ice cream…Warm, effusive service never misses a beat." Toronto Life (2005) "Best of all are the 100 or so unlisted ports (Warre's '69 perhaps, or Càlem and Graham of various vintages): if you don't drain the bottle, (Richlee's) will keep it for you to consume another time." Margaret Swaine, Toronto Life "Your patented greeting of 'Welcome Home' may ring hollow for first time patrons, but for us long standing guests, it is exactly how you make us feel. Your attention to quality, from the smallest detail to the wine selection, to the ingredients, to the presentation and overall experience is what makes Richlee's so consistently special. Which is how each and everyone feels when they leave." Mike Frith, long-time valued customer
