| - My husband and I are huge fans of Pure Spirits Oyster House & Grill. We had the opportunity to eat here while we were in Toronto for our honeymoon.
The restaurant itself is located in the Distillery District, a very fun area to explore if you are visiting the city, and it offers a great atmosphere with a huge patio in the summer and cozy interior for the winter.
For an appetizer, we decided to order oysters. They were fresh and fantastic. For our entrees, my husband ordered the thai green curry mussels with wild lime leaves, coconut cream, and sweet basil ($17). I ordered the chickpea falafel salad with smoky babaganoush, dandelion, tzatziki heirloom tomatoes and house pickles ($16). Our entrees were absolutely fantastic, and we ate everything on our plate!
Typically, my husband and I will split a dessert. Their dessert menu was so fantastic however that we ordered two desserts to try: The Gin and Tonic with
Gin semifreddo, tonic lemongrass fluid gel, and lime bubbles ($8) and Strawberries and Cream with strawberry consommé, vanilla honey yogurt panna cotta, fresh Ontario strawberries, and lemon poppy seed shortbread ($10). Both desserts were delicious and we are going to have to agree to disagree on what was our favorite dessert. They were both so good!
Our service was also impeccable. Our server was nice, attentive, and fun.
In sum, we couldn't of asked for a better meal at a better restaurant. If we are in the area again, we will definitely be dining here!
