| - Fantastic food, service and ambience!
This past Saturday, I celebrated my birthday at Scaramouche Restaurant. We were seated near the windows that had a nice view of the city. They started us off with a basket of bread and a complimentary amuse-bouche, which was a smoked salmon puff pastry. We each ordered a glass of Murphy-Goode Cabernet Sauvignon ($15) which went perfectly with our meals.
For our appetizers, we ordered:
Yellowfin Tuna Tartare ($24) - The tuna was light in flavour and not overpowered by the soy marinade. The radish, jicama, coriander and finger lime added a refreshing touch. The avocado purée and crème frâiche were both light and creamy with distinct flavours. And the squid ink tempura crumbs balanced the dish out with a delicious, crunchy texture.
Cavatelli ($22) - The appetizer was a part of their specials of the day which included cavatelli pasta and an assortment of vegetables. The pasta and vegetables were cooked al dente and had light and tangy flavours from the sauce. I personally enjoyed this dish while Kevin wasn't a fan because there were too many vegetables and no meat (haha).
For our mains, we ordered:
Lamb ($48) - My bf ordered the lamb and I was able to try some. The lamb was delicious and juicy, with quite a strong curry flavour on the crust.
Grilled Filet Mignon ($49) - I ordered the Filet Mignon cooked medium rare which came out pre-sliced into three pieces. The steak was cooked beautifully and was very tender. The Bordelaise sauce was smooth and rich in flavour, which went perfectly with the steak.
Since we had movie reservations later on in the night, we decided to go for dessert near the theatre. Overall, we had a wonderful dining experience at Scaramouche, from their fantastic service to their aesthetically pleasing dishes. I would love to go back again and try other delicious menu items!
