Parisian fare in the heart of Toronto!
I was craving for foie gras and to reminisce of our Paris trip, I decided to come here on a Friday evening.
Needless to say, the foie gras app was an expensive but delicious one biter. And for $14, i wouldn't order it again .
For mains I had the squid ink scallop risotto and my boyfriend had the coq au vin. I frowned as - who orders chicken in a fancy restaurant? But it was cooked perfectly! It was a great dish, the mushrooms and onions were as well, he wished there was bread to soak up all the 'vin' juice.
The squid ink sauce was spot on, as was the scallop and the shaved fennel. Great combination. However the risotto was not easy to digest, as the Chinese would say, 'The rice has bones'.
I then asked for the risotto to be made again as I prefer it more fluffy and less 'al dente'. There was no questions asked and in roughly 15 minute, it was made fresh for me for my liking.
All in all i would go back again but maybe on a more special occasion as the price range is higher than a casual evening meal.
