Sourdough Bread with Fromage Blanc and Shallots
[5]
Lordy-lord, this was some of the best bread I've had since I was in Paris- and I never eat from the bread basket before dinner. Crusty and satisfying on the outside, and warm and satiny within, made even more irresistible with the tangy fromage blanc and sharp crisp shallot.
Persimmon, Sprouted Black Lentil, Spinach ($13)
[7]
With sweet, jammy persimmons, earthy sprouts and an abundance of crunchy toasty almonds, this is the epitome of feel good food- food that is inherently both healthy and hedonistically satisfying for all the senses at once.
Confit Chicken, Celery Root, Rye ($16)
[8]
Talk about comfort food. This tasted like the most flavourful Sunday roast chicken you're grandma never made. Blessedly juicy meat, sweet nutty celeriac, hearty broth and aromatic crunchy rye crumbs on top. Man, you have a bowl of this and a plate of that persimmon salad, and you've undoubtedly outsmarted the cold and flu.
Snow Crab, Golden Beets, Fennel, Saffron
[9]
An off menu dish brought to us by the chef comprised of delicate, sweet, refreshing flavours. From the luxurious snow crab, fruity beets, and aromatic crisp fennel, it was a perfect light late Fall dish to contrast the typical hearty cool-weather fare.
Seared Bavette, Caramelized Shallots, Black Pepper ($22)
[11]
Perfectly seasoned meat, prepared simply and paired beautifully with a bed of sweet onion jam.
Egg, Mushroom, Savoury Granola ($19)
[10]
This was probably my faourite dish of the night. I absolutely fell in love with the meaty supple mushroom medley, made even more luxurious by the unctuous egg and addictively crunchy granola. I want to put that granola on everything.
Dark Chocolate Ganache, Caramel, Milk Ice Cream ($8)
[13]
I'm not usually a chocolate girl, but this dessert was so perfectly balanced, I nearly licked the plate. The generous portion of luscious bitter-sweet ganache was coated with crispy light cookie crumb, and paired with a sticky sweet caramel, a bright tangy sour cream and buttermilk ice cream and a sprinkling of candied cacao nibs. Holy, yes. After this, I wanted to do the whole meal again.
