| - One of the gems of the city. Not just of this beautiful town of Aurora Newmarket but the entire city of Toronto. The food served here is every bit as good as any fancy restaurant I've ever set foot in. Why? Because it is what I would consider a Canadian omakase.
Let me begin by saying this isn't truly "leave it up to the chef to decide" as they do have set menus. However, the herbs, spices, fruits and vegetables served with every dish are always based on what's in season. The owners aren't afraid to make small changes and mix how a dish would be traditionally made in order to serve incredibly fresh foods.
The breakfast is worth the drive just to try. If I lived in downtown, I would drive all the way here just to have it. Served with pancetta or peameal with egg Benedict and your choice of flavored rice or English muffin topped with hollandaise, this stunning sandwich is so well balanced and flavorful. It so comes with juicy, in season fruits.
The other breakfast item worth trying is the fluffy pancakes. The pancakes are baked and are truly really really fluffy. Most traditional pancakes have a more floury taste to it where is this one seems to have more of a slight egg taste. It is cooked perfectly every time answered with just the right amount of icing sugar, fresh fruits, and maple syrup.
While the dinner menu doesn't offer a large selection, I believe this is done with intent. It allows the chef to focus and perfect cooking what is available as opposed to offering many good but not great choices.
Surprisingly, I have yet to try to lunch menu. If you do, please write a review and let me know if it's just as good as their breakfast and dinner. Bon appetit
