National intel: Since there is a relatively limited Honduran population in Toronto, there are few bars dedicated to Honduran soccer. That's not to say there won't be anywhere to watch it. Latin Americans tend to believe in solidarity (except Mexicans and Guatemalans, and Venezuelans and Guyanese, then there's Argentina and... oh, everyone else, and - oh, never mind). Still, though, they'll put aside their differences for soccer. Head towards the increasingly Latinized neighbourhood on St. Clair west of Bathurst.
The pitch: A popular spot for third-party event rentals due to its large space, big screens, and excellent sound-system, the place is owned by Ecuadorians. Clientele ranges from Argentinean to Chilean to Honduran. The restaurant claims to be cheering 'first for world peace, then for any Spanish-speaking nation,' and Honduras is certainly no exception.
The grub: Tapas such as garlic shrimp and calamari.
