UPDATE-March 2012: Sadly, Bistro the Home has closed due to a lack of business.
Bistro The Home is my kind of place for several reasons. It’s got a quirky name along with a quirky concept (to most people) of Asianized pasta. The tranquil, modern dining room is hidden in a strip mall on Alexandra Road [...] I’ve been enjoying the daily online deals from Groupon and Dealfind, not only for the discounts but also because of the exposure to previously unknown restaurants (and neighbourhoods).
