| - Located in the SE corner of King Street East and Church Street, MasterChef Aprile's newest multi-concept venture, Copetin Restaurant & Bar, replaced what used the former home of Origin.
My husband and I came here to celebrate our anniversary a few days ago, and we had a wonderful evening :) I've always been a fan of Chef Aprile since Colborne Lane, known for the molecularly inclined creations, so I came in with higher than normal expectation.
I love how the Copetin kitchen is in the middle of the restaurant, you can see Chef Aprile and team working away during dinner service. There is also a Chef's Counter, which will seat 6 guests a night with a completely different dining experience. On the other side of the dining area is a gorgeously lit lounge bar with a separate menu, and a Botanist Bar in the patio that specializes in tapas and cocktails made with Botanist Gin x fresh in-house garden-grown herbs.
To kick start our celebration, Copetin kindly offered us some welcome champagne, and a beautifully presented Lobster seviche (thank you!). We ordered Charcoal-grilled octopus and Beef Tartare for appetizers to share. Both dishes were nicely plated, and the flavours and textures were new and exciting, and of course, very delicious!
For the main course, we shared the Ricotta Gnudi (so good!) - it was light, fluffy and creamy. Husband had the Wagyu striploin - it was excellent; the ingredients paired so well together! I had the Lamb loin - it was overcooked to a medium well, but I really appreciate that they offered to redo it again. The second time around was definitely better, but could be much better.
I had a chance to try all 3 desserts on their current menu! The Rosehip Bavour - a light blueberry dessert - is a must order! I loved the presentation with the dry ice - instant wow factor :) It was a very nice dessert to end our evening.
The Caramelized Tres Leche Cake, on the otherhand, was on the heavier side - the caramelized banana was heavenly. I also sampled the Citrus Moon (My friend was celebrating his birthday at another table and offered me a piece, thank you!) - it was a very nice surprise lol. It was citrusy and refreshing but not my favourite one of the 3... I'm not a big fan of citrusy stuff (sorry!).
Overall, very enjoyable experience! Our waitress was very friendly and gave great recommendations. Thank you for making our night extra special :) Keep up the great work, Team Copetin! I'll definitely be back for the Chef's Counter another time ^^
