The Nameless Restaurant: A Cozy Cooking Fantasy
The Nameless Restaurant: A Cozy Cooking Fantasy | Tao Wong
2 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
A slice of life adventure of food and magic There is a restaurant in Toronto. Its entrance is announced only by a simple, unadorned wooden door, varnished to a beautiful shine but without paint, hidden beside dumpsters and a fire escape. There is no sign, no indication of what lies behind the door. If you do manage to find the restaurant, the dcor is dated and worn. Homey, if one were to be generous. The service is atrocious, the proprietor a grouch. The regulars are worse, silent, brooding, and unfriendly to newcomers. There is no set menu, alternating with the whim and whimsy of the owner. The selection of wine and beer is sparse or non-existent at times, and the prices for everything outrageous. There is a restaurant in Toronto that is magically hidden, whose service is horrible, and whose food is divine. This is the story of the Nameless Restaurant.

The book blurb caught my eye and it looked like a potential winner for me: ‘There is a restaurant in Toronto that is magically hidden, whose service is horrible and whose food is divine.‘ And I love the narrator! However, it never captured my attention and I lost interest pretty quickly. I tried 3 times to read this one, but couldn‘t get into it. Maybe it‘s just me. Curious to know if anyone else has read this.

🎧 I picked up this ARC for 2 reasons … I‘m enjoying a series by the author plus Legends & Lattes.

A secret restaurant? Great idea!! I enjoyed most of the characters & didn‘t like one 😆 intentional I‘m sure!

I loved the talk of food! It was so new to me that I gave an extra star! A good narrator pulls you into the world! Is this a stand alone? A book full of novellas about unique restaurants or a continuing series would be great!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
