Had dinner at the Fox and Flashlight Danforth last night. Hadn't eaten there in years because tater tots, just tater tots. Menu has improved immensely. Homemade Michelin star chicken noodle soup. No tots in sight.
On the other hand the happy atmosphere has turned very dark. Literally.
Most of the lights were dimmed low or caped off. I apologized for coming while they were closing. It was 8 pm. I had to read the menu with my flashlight.
I'll try again in another 6 years hopefully the soup and Thomas will still be there.
Note to Management/Owner:
If you're struggling get some lamps at the dollar store. Good Luck.

Fox & Fiddle Danforth is located close to Pape subway station. Now when you think of a bar or an establishment like this, you probably will think of drinks.
Well, I think of their roast beef dip sandwich. I know, it sounds silly right but I got hooked on it during a previous visit. So, when I crave it, I go and have it. The bread is soft, the au jus dip is savory and best of all, the fries are crispy and crunchy. Easy comfort food when I want to gab with the friends. We dont even drink alcohol! Lol.
The staff are lovely. Oxana served us during our most recent visit and she was attentive, polite, and pleasant. We sat at the family tables close to the window which was enjoyable and allowed for people watching.
Am I coming back? Yep. Next time I'm craving that roast beef sandwich, I'll be back. I'm sure there are other sandwiches out there that will top this one but there is just something comforting about hanging out with a bestie, chatting and enjoying a good sandwich for a weekend brunch.
