When chef Alem Mola moved from Ethiopia to Canada, she had no background in cooking. She learned cooking by watching her aunt make classic Ethiopian dishes. Her curiosity and attention to detail, paired with her innovative approach, later led her to add her twist to the traditional Ethiopian cuisine. It was her business partner Kassa Zalek who encouraged her to open her restaurant on 360 Queen St. Today, she is the co-owner and chef of Toronto's first authentic Ethiopian restaurant.

To get a grasp of hearty homemade Ethiopian delicacies, try the king Solomon platter, the iconic beyainatu, the chacha, doré Tibbs, Wotageba, and Kikil. If you're gluten intolerant, they have fresh teff injera. Unlike some Ethiopian restos, there's no fatty and salty food here, only smokey, almost earthy flavors with no overpowering spices. Speaking of that, Alem imports all the spices, even the injera, and coffee from Addis Ababa. You should order the coffee first since it takes 20 minutes to make from scratch, and boy, the smoky aroma that fills the entire place, sends you into a celestial frenzy.

The interior is homey and welcoming. The red table cloths and curtains further complement the woodsy, warm bricks on the walls. The big windows in the front are great for people watching. There's a large patio at the back.

The staff welcomes you with a kind smile upon entering and explains all the dishes in detail. The owner will have a chat with you and gives you a few suggestions to try. Modern Ethiopian music playing mildly in the background only adds to the laid-back atmosphere. The traditional Ethiopian way to eat is without any cutleries, and this place is no exception, but if you don't know how to, the knowledgeable and kind waiters show you.

The portions are more than satisfying, so if you can't finish your meal, they will pack it for you.

You can take the Queen's subway station to get here. You can visit St. Paul's Basilica church and Enoch Turner Schoolhouse Museum or take a hike in Waterfront Trail while you're in the neighborhood.

Be very specific about the type of Brazilian cheese you'd like because the usual here is mozzarella. Vegans can have Moqueca de Camarao, with the heart of palm instead of baby shrimps. iI you're a mushroom lover, try Stroganoff Contrafile with rice and fries. Also, don't miss out on Rio 40's homemade hot sauce. Plus, Rio 40 offers freshly-squeezed passion fruit juice, a rarity in Brazilian restaurants these days. You can also try Guranna and the iconic Caipirinha.

The safety protocols followed by Rio 40's staff is exemplary. They spray and wipe all the tables with disinfectants after each customer leaves. The inside is off access, except for using the restrooms with a mask on, of course.

The mostly-Portuguese-speaking staff welcomes you with that warm Brazilian hospitality. The portions are generous. If you can't finish, you can take home the leftovers. The prices are pretty reasonable. There's a pitcher of water on the table, which is a thoughtful touch. The inside is spacious with high ceilings and oversized windows, letting in plenty of light. There's Brasil's national flag, Christ the Redeemer, and a large mural of the city of Rio adorning the walls. A large Tv by the kitchen provides a fun night watching sports as well.

Rio 40 is on St Clair W, which makes it a one way street on both sides, so if you're traveling by car, study the map first to pick the best way to get here. The parking spaces are on the side street. You can also get here quickly if you use the St.Clair W subway station. The place gets packed almost every night, so make reservations. Visit the Canvas Gallery while you're around

The staff is personable and attentive. The waiters keep coming to refill the water. If you don't know what to order, they explain each item to you and gives you suggestions. The waiting time for a table isn't that long if you haven't already made reservations. Food arrives fast and piping hot to the table.

Dishes are aesthetically appealing and carefully thought-out. The manager comes to ask how everything is going. You can have the spiciness of your meal adjusted to your liking by asking the waiter. Portions are generous, and If you can't finish your meal, they will pack the leftover for you. If you're celebrating a special occasion, Cumin treats you to house-made ice cream.

The restaurant is cozy with a laid-back vibe. The inside and the bathrooms are super clean. The high ceilings, luxurious cushions, and lovely background music only add more charm to the already posh dining area. There are separate bar and table seatings.
