Simpl Things
Toronto, Canada
Simpl Things in Toronto is bartender Evelyn Chick’s first opening, which has quickly earned rave reviews and recognition, including being named the Campari One to Watch by North America’s 50 Best Bars 2024. The all-day neighbourhood bar, with a special knack for hospitality, is unique in that it has a dual-concept food offering: a laid-back Italian cafe experience by day and full-flavour Asian bites by night, with one of the city’s best happy hours in between to allow for a seamless transition between services. Despite the different chefs occupying the kitchen depending on the time of day, the drinks menu remains consistent. The list includes an eclectic mix of clarified milk punch drinks, spritzes, zero-proof options and highly approachable cocktails that showcase everything from staples like whisky and gin to more niche spirits and ingredients such as aquavit, shochu, nigori sake and baijiu. The menu must-have is the Sup Wit Dat?! (mezcal, dry vermouth, balsam fir, cucumber, lime juice), which is served over pebble ice and is both complex and crushable. With a focus on minimalism and quality, Simpl Things provides an unforgettable, fuss-free drinking experience that gets the basics right.
