There’s always that moment at dinner.
Someone looks around the table and says, “Should we just get a bottle?”
And somehow, those are usually the evenings nobody is in much of a hurry to end. 🍷
At SLATE Restaurant & Bar, we’re definitely voting yes.
Tag the person at your table who never needs convincing.

Every Monday and Tuesday, w**e is half price at SLATE Restaurant & Bar. So if the weekend ended a little too quickly, maybe don’t wait until Friday to make dinner plans again.

There’s a moment in the kitchen when a dish stops being a list of ingredients and starts coming together. This was it. A few seconds earlier, everything was still lined up in the prep station. Then the bowl came out, greens went in, the finishing touches followed, and someone was already reaching for the next order.
I like catching these little in-between moments at SLATE Restaurant & Bar — the ones guests usually don’t see. No finished plate yet, just hands moving, ingredients being added and dinner getting one step closer to the table.
🥗 If you’re a salad person, drop your must-have ingredient in the comments — the one thing you always want in the bowl.

Monday has a much better reputation around here once the w**e reaches the table. 🍷

A little reminder for our Beaches neighbours planning something special: SLATE Restaurant & Bar also hosts celebrations and group gatherings. 🎉 Birthdays, anniversaries, corporate dinners, wedding celebrations or simply getting a big group of your favourite people around one table – we’d be happy to talk about what you have in mind.

There should probably be a rule that after saying “we need to catch up soon” three times, you actually have to pick a date. 🥂
If your group chat has reached that stage, grab a table at SLATE Restaurant & Bar and turn the texts into a proper evening together. Food on the table, drinks in hand and finally enough time to hear the whole story.

Friday was already getting louder around us — conversations picking up, glasses meeting across tables, everyone finally switching out of work-week mode. And then the light caught this drink. Not for long, just enough to turn that deep purple into flashes of pink and make the lemon peel almost glow. I grabbed the camera before the moment disappeared.
That’s probably my favourite thing about Friday at SLATE Restaurant & Bar — somewhere between the first drink and deciding to stay for another, the weekend officially starts. And tonight, 3 oz Martinis are $15. 🍸
You know it’s Friday when… Finish that sentence for us. 👇

Date night doesn’t have to mean heading downtown. ❤️ Sometimes it’s nicer to stay close to home, order something you both love, open a bottle of w**e and actually have time to talk.
If you’re planning a night out this week, SLATE Restaurant & Bar is right here in the neighbourhood.

I was trying to catch the glass. Instead, I caught the mood. 🥂
The rosé in one hand, that bright cocktail in the other, sunlight coming through the window — and everything else moving just enough to feel alive. I love photos like this because they don’t look posed. They feel like a real afternoon at SLATE Restaurant & Bar, caught somewhere between a sip and a laugh.
Who would you want sitting across the table from you in a moment like this? ❤️

A little bit of everything, exactly how we like it. 🫒 Thinly sliced prosciutto, salami, olives and all those savoury bites that somehow disappear from the table before you’ve even decided what to order next.
At SLATE Restaurant & Bar, some of the best meals start with a plate made for sharing — fresh, simple and full of flavour.

There’s a reason the food is in focus here. ✨ While the evening moves around it — glasses meet for a toast, conversations overlap, people laugh and reach across the table — the plates are right there at the centre of it all.
That’s the atmosphere we love at SLATE Restaurant & Bar: lively, a little spontaneous, and always built around food worth stopping for. From the first plate in the middle of the table to the last sip in your glass, dinner should feel like part of the night, not just something you came to eat. 🥂

There are drinks you order because you know exactly what you want… and then there are the ones you spot passing by another table and immediately ask, “What’s that?” 🍊🍸
We’re curious — when you’re choosing a cocktail, do you stick with your usual favourite or are you always tempted to try something new? Tell us which one you are. 👇
