Season Six

What is Season Six? Founded by hospitality veterans Chef Brook Kavanagh (formerly of La Palette) and sommelier Lara Roberts, Season Six anchors 188 Ossington Avenue in Trinity Bellwoods with an ingredient-forward seasonal bistro format. The room pairs earthenware plating and warm, low-key lighting with intimate table seating, a semi-private back dining nook, and a heated curb-lane patio on the strip. The kitchen operates on a six-season micro-calendar, keeping the chalkboard menu tightly synced to local Ontario farms and purveyors.

Season Six Menu & What to Order The kitchen balances slow-cooked braises with bright, vegetable-driven plates and handmade pastas. The slow-braised Brisket Bourguignon is an anchor main, while the Rigatoni Diavola brings balanced heat with Calabrian chili and 'nduja rosé. Starters like the onion-and-anchovy Pissaladière, roasted king mushrooms, and seasonal risottos showcase sharp bistro technique, complemented by extensive gluten-free options across the roster. Round out the meal with a flourless chocolate torte alongside natural wines curated by Roberts or a signature Watermelon Spritz.

Know Before You Go Walk-ins can often snag seats at the bar counter or front patio on weekdays, but advance table bookings are advisable for dinner groups and prime weekend slots. Metered street parking on Ossington is competitive, so taking the 63 Ossington bus or the 501 Queen streetcar is the smoothest route. The kitchen serves continuously from lunch through dinner seven days a week, wrapping an hour earlier on Sundays.
