Adding gourmet ingredients to a meal makes a commonplace activity feel special, much like brushing your teeth with a sparkler or withdrawing money from an ATM while holding it at gunpoint. Reinvigorate your routine with today's Groupon: for $15, you get $30 worth of fare and drinks at Gilead Café and Bistro in Corktown.

Helmed by award-winning chef Jamie Kennedy, Gilead Café and Bistro whips up a tantalizing selection of seasonal fare sourced by local producers and culinary artisans. Delight in the comestible splendours of Ontario's agribounty with an ever-changing menu of hearty soups, salads, baked goods, and more. Presently, patrons can start a meal with a beet salad ($9) or curried sweet potato croquettes ($9) before moving onto the J.K. cheeseburger ($11) or braised short rib with parsley ravigôte sauce ($18). Round out a mighty meal with indulgences as exquisite as the bling in Orion's belt, such as the chocolate panna cotta with peanut-butter mousse ($11) or a selection from the extensive by-the-glass wine list, featuring an arsenal of pours sourced solely from Ontario.

Centrally situated in historic Corktown just north of the Distillery District, Gilead Café and Bistro offers diners a leaping point into balmy cultural waters. With its colourful mason-jar-lined walls chock-full of preserved delicacies, a floor-to-ceiling chalkboard menu, and a spacious, sunny interior, Gilead Café and Bistro proves an ideal place to knight palates into the region's culinary court.

My husband and I love your restaurant - food and ambience. We've been over a dozen times in the past three years. We've noticed this year, however, that your servers are a little too rushed, without the finer details. We had one who came to the table with a couple dishes on her hand and instead of smiling and asking who had what, all she said in an impatient, quick voice was "soup, soup, soup?" I was really caught off guard by her manner. The next month is was more of the same. And, again, super busy. I don't mind it being busy, but please train your staff to deal with it better. I love the Frenchman, though!
