Came here with a friend on Saturday for their Winterlicious lunch menu and we both agreed that the food was delicious! Honestly, Licious menus can be so hit or miss that I'm always really impressed when a restaurant exceeds my expectations.
Appetizer:
My friend and I both ordered the goat cheese soufflé, since the lentil soup and harvest salad didn't seem that interesting. The soufflé was super fluffy and flavourful; the goat cheese taste was subtle (not pungent, as goat cheese often is) so I would still recommend this dish to people who aren't normally a fan of strong cheeses. Even the frisée salad was amazing - we cleared our plates in no time!
Main course:
I got the mushroom risotto while my friend ordered the beef bourguignon. I love risotto and this one did not disappoint - creamy and savoury with tender pieces of porcini mushroom. My friend enjoyed her food as well.
Dessert:
Both desserts were very good. I especially loved the paring of the salted caramel with the chocolate brownie cake (wish there had been more of that!), but the cake itself could have been more moist and probably would have tasted better served warm.
Overall, we had a lovely lunch and I thought the food was on par with the beautiful atmosphere.
One thing to note: the lunch and dinner menus are almost exactly the same but dinner is $17 dollars more ($45 compared to $28), so lunch is definitely more worth it unless you're dying to try the duck confit.
