I haven't been blown away by a meal in Toronto in ages. This meal though, this blew me away. It's very simple fare, at least to the eye, but the flavours were complex in every dish but allowed the amazing quality of ingredients to stand out on their own. We got the $65 tasting menu and were not disappointed by any of the dishes
Some highlights:
The duck (fall off the bone!)
The trout (cooked to perfection)
The charred cabbage (just trust me)
The tarte with ice cream
The wine (bottle of Pais) was interesting and perfectly matched our meal
The service was attentive, honest, not intrusive. The chef, Guy, watched over the dining room to ensure every table was taken care of and felt like he tailored each diner's experience. It's clear he has put his heart into this restaurant. Its a tough industry but I sincerely hope this restaurant will be successful and stay around for years to come.
Overall I am very impressed and will be back!
