"Our restaurant once hosted a Liberal Party meet-and-greet," recalls Alfredo Yabut, owner of the 131 Water Kitchen & Bar. "Justin Trudeau entered from the front of the restaurant and walked to the back of the restaurant to give a speech. It took him two hours to get to the back! People mobbed him and treated him like a rock star."
This wasn’t the restaurant’s first celebrity encounter—131 Water Kitchen & Bar has played host to a number of well known personalities, including actual rock stars, who have visited, like what they've seen and tasted, and hired the premises and staff for an entire evening.
Casual comfort food is how Alfredo likes to describe the menu. "We have a wide range of appetizers, Asian fusion food and some items with a Japanese influence," he says.
The environment Alfredo strives to create is also casual, with a focus on providing the perfect gathering place for large or small parties.
"Our space is deceptively large," says Alfredo. "Inside, we can handle tables for two or seating for 100 people. We’re licensed for 140 seats and we have both private and semi-private space that is just perfect for parties."
