o you remember when you were a young child, and amusement came in the form when you would question an unsuspecting family or friend if they like "seafood", and they naively reply yes, only for you to promptly open your mouth and reveal a partially digested portion of your dinner to their disgust, upon which you smartly reply "See... food"! Ah, the simple joys of being a child.

Perhaps the most satisfying single piece of paper in the entire Yonge and Eglinton area is the Xeroxed sheet that is shoved between a laminate of plastic at the start of each day at Cfood: a hastily typed list that struts the day's fish offerings. I know it is a stretch to believe that there is good food anywhere within driving distance of what has become a sports bar-ia. However, there is a bright orange awning to indicate it. Firmly positioned in the location that was previously a Bloor Street Diner, Cfood brings to the area a fresh fish menu that has the downtown set re-considering Yonge & Eggers as destination dining.

Cfood’s combination of a rotating fish menu and reasonable prices - stuffed into a tiny space - is the product of owner Olivier Centner, who believes that his big-volume-in-a-small-space restaurant may as well provide a local playground for everyday people who don't generally get to play in the big leagues.

Once inside the restaurant, an energetic waitress - her manner contrasting nicely with Cfood’s cool mien - greets you warmly. The focal point of the tiny, 30-seat space is a small faux brick and cherry wood bar, which is bordered by three hanging ship lanterns. Unadorned tables and orange banquette seating occupy Cfood's square footage. The space has a new sleek feel, with little nautical touches; perhaps not as cozy at the Diner, but very slick indeed, particularly from outside looking in.
