La Banane is one of my favourite restaurants in Toronto. The food is innovative and French inspired. The atmosphere has a Manhattan / hipster feel.
To start, we had the plump mussels marinated in an espelette pepper vinaigrette. We also ordered oysters and scallops from the raw bar.
For the mains, we had a stunning European sea bass en croute and the duck breast. The sea bass is a must when you visit La Banane. It is first presented at the table fully enclosed in a pastry. It was the centre piece of our meal. The rich flavours of the yuzu beurre monte combined with the taste of the fresh sea bass was outstanding. I would highly recommend ordering this dish when you are at La Banane.
If Michelin was to rate the restaurants in Toronto, La Banane would definitely be Michelin worthy.
