| - Trevor is a modern, unpretentious, and chic restaurant, hidden away near the St. Lawrence Market, offering a dim-litted and romantic dining experience. Service was impeccable, friendly and knowledgeable, recommending several popular dishes when the choices are many.
Ordered:
Rutabaga tortellini - I didn't know what to expect with this, but it came with two tortelli over pieces of ham hock. The rutabaga filling had a creamy texture; and when combined with the saltiness of the ham hock, it was the perfect complexity. It was delicious and made me want more.
Seared foie gras - This came with buttermilk pancakes, smoked pork belly and spiced apple puree. There was so much going at once, I didn't know where to start. The seared foie gras itself was just as I imagined, creamy texture with fatty side to it. The smoked pork belly had a sweet taste to it, and worked really well with the foie gras.
Port braised beef cheeks - Probably the less exciting dish of the evening. The risotto was rich and creamy. The braised beef cheeks was tender, smooth and had the right balance of fat. Though it wouldn't be something I would order again.
Chocolate rice pudding - It came with burnt marshmallow, smoked caramel and graham cracker gelato. I felt it was a deconstruction of s'mores into its elements. The chocolate rice pudding had a gooey richness, and when combined with the gelato and graham cracker, it was delectable. Definitely made to share, though it was something I didn't exactly want to do after that first bite. It wasn't a heavy dessert and it was a great way to end a delicious meal.
Definitely at must-return restaurant for me.
Note: As Trevor isn't opened on Sunday, make sure you make reservations when going on a Friday or Saturday night. They're usually booked!
