Despite what you might have seen in movies likeMoulin RougeandEurotrip, you won't see the green fairy while drinking absinthe, an anise-flavoured spirit that's often misunderstand (despite appearing atplenty of Toronto bars and restaurantsand even at theLCBO).

Perhaps you'll learn more about it at L'Absinthe Bar, which is opening aboveCoq of the Walkat 488 College St., in the formerSnakes & Lagersspace.

That's fitting because the folks fromSnakes & Lattesare also behind this French-inspired spot.

L'Absinthe Bar will feature about 12 different types of absinthe, mainly from France and Switzerland. Along with absinthe cocktails, it'll serve this green-tinted spirit in the traditional fashion with sugar and ice water in蓬眼镜.

The food menu includes absinthe-flavoured dishes, including pates, sausages and ice cream.
