| - What a beautiful cafe! My mother and I came here to enjoy lunch on a Tuesday afternoon. There was a half an hour wait, but they sent us a text when the table was ready. We were seated in these beautiful, tall grey chairs, in what felt like a European garden. The chandeliers and greenery were absolutely stunning, and I forgot I was in Yorkdale. I will say this place is on the pricier side, so not necessarily something that can be enjoyed on the regular, unless your wallet allows it! I had the Bellini, which was Prosecco with peach puree. It wasn't overly sweet, which I loved. We ordered the burrata to start, and this was creamy goodness. It was served with grape tomatoes with basil and olive oil, and sourdough toasts. It was so fresh, and the sweetness of the tomatoes complimented the cheese so well. This was very filling with the toasts, but so worth it. For our mains, I had the grilled cheese with fries, and my mom had a lobster roll. My grilled cheese was total perfection. The gooey cheese and yummy bread, plus the amazing hand cut fries with the garlic mayo hit the spot. I couldn't finish it all, but they kindly packed it to go. For our dessert, we got the homemade cookies and ice cream, which was just ok. I wasn't really wowed by this, and could have done without. We saw some beautiful donuts upon leaving, but wasn't offered to us. The bill came to over 100, before tip, which was rather steep. However, it was a great experience, and I'd return.
