When Michael van den Winkel and Jennifer Gittins began hosting rijsttafel (a Dutch-Indonesian feast, which translates to "rice table") at their Quince Bistro, the events would sell out within hours. A craving was brewing for authentic Dutch-Indonesian food as well as a cocktail bar that this midtown neighbourhood was lacking – and so, without ado, in June 2014, Little Sister Food Bar was born.

Stepping inside feels miles away from midtown. The space can be characterized as a hip bar sans the attitude, paired with the frenetic street vibes of eating in Indonesia – all set against a backdrop of fast service and pumpin’ beats. Exposed ceilings rise above a long bar, while a mixologist serves up Indonesian-style cocktails with spices, lemongrass, lime leaf and caramelized palm sugar.

Indonesia was at one time a Dutch colony, and the food and flavours are an integral part to Dutch cuisine. Mike, Jennifer’s husband and business partner, learned Indonesian cooking while he was in the navy. The two met in England while working as chefs and went on to work together as private chefs on-board a yacht in Dubai, India and Singapore. “We’ve had restaurants in this neighbourhood for about 20 years, and we’ve always had Indonesian influences in our dishes. It was a natural progression to go into Indonesian food,” says Jennifer.

Little Sister is an Indonesian restaurant that keeps its wine list to a minimum. A little grandiose, with a lot of top wine is the best way to describe this wine list. It’s seasonal and showcases wines from around the world that are expertly paired with the authentic Indonesian food.

Nestled on the strip between Davisville and Eglinton, Little Sister Food Bar offers authentic Indonesian dishes, but feels decisively more like a comfy hip bar than a restaurant. High industrial ceilings rise above a long bar and a mixologist whipping up unusual combos of liquor (think: housemade bitters, tamarind syrup and palm sugar). Skip the long bar or communal table and grab a table for two at the banquette. Share a couple orders of satay and chicken tacos (Balinese style with shallot sour cream) and wash it down with a pint of beer or barrel-aged cocktail.
