Co-owners Rob D’Amico and Chef Dave Lamers, of renowned Abruzzi in Downtown London, opened this contemporary upscale neighbourhood tavern in 2020. An internationally-inspired menu offers something for everyone, perfect for families, a business lunch, or a great night out with friends.
The Scene
Taverna 13thirtyone was designed to accommodate the vision of experienced restaurateurs, to create a relaxed yet sophisticated culinary experience. A welcoming bar has both craft beers and quality wines on tap, and a larger selection by the bottle. High ceilings with exposed ductwork and large windows let in plenty of natural light. Comfortable seating is arranged for larger groups and intimate dinners. There is a private room for parties or business meetings and a large seasonal patio.
Menu Highlights
Chef David Lamers and Chef Eric Robinson lead the kitchen team, with a Feast ON™-certified menu that celebrates local and seasonal ingredients inspired by international flavours.
