  • I came to Mira as a vegetarian, with the expectation that I'd make a few exceptions. As a veg, one need not starve here, but if you're willing to at least go pescatarian you're in for a treat. In the end, we mostly vegetarian but added Mira's signature ceviche. Admittedly not everything was out of this world. But the ceviche menu alone deserves all of the stars. The fluke in the namesake ceviche is incredibly light, the citrus is explosive and addictive, while the puffed corn adds a welcome balanced crunch to mix it up. The mango ceviche is full of layers of tang and complex flavours that I can scarcely describe but are a must to not ignore. We ignored the other two ceviche options and this I regret. We also opted for the truffle risotto and the yucca fries. The risotto had a rich and earthy flavour and was cooked perfectly while the fried truffles added a well balanced crunch while also melting in the mouth. It's not a perfect dish; artichoke feels superfluous here incorporating a chewy addition that seems altogether unnecessary. But otherwise damn fine. Earlier reviews by others on the yucca fries seem mixed. Some love them, some not remotely. Count me in the love them camp: the naysayers are wrong. Because we are greedy and stupid we also opted for two desserts: the chocolate egg and something else which only rarely pops up as a limited edition item (our waiter tells me it's a backup for when he's out of another dessert item). The latter was some sort of yogurt dish with a Peruvian fruit ice cream and fresh pistachios. I've forgotten it's name but it was fresh and unique. I c any day as I'd had anything quite like it. The chocolate egg is an experience to watch it cracked and opened in front of you. Ultimately it's pretty underwhelming to eat though. The chocolate is dry, the mousse inside lacks flavour, however the espresso ice cream and brownie in the centre make up for those shortcomings: they are not to be ignored. Nevertheless it was more than we could bear and we couldn't finish. Mira isn't cheap. It's definitely something to treat yourself and your date to. But it's also part of Toronto's vibrant and eclectic food scene. It's a bit of a hidden gem, not everything is exceptional but it's still a great spot to visit and keeps some creative items on hand. Highly recommended but also don't let the size of the dishes fool you. You'll leave full.
