| - Just an AWESOME experience, event, meal, and concept! A corner, neighborhood location with an 'open kitchen' that's right out of your home. Seats 23, and invites chefs-from local restaurants, across the Nation of Canada, around the world, across the street-literally!-epicureans who simply love. good. food. It's BYOB and the Sunday "event" was classic Boeuf Bourginon as the centerpiece of a four course meal. Best C$40 I spent the entire week I was in Toronto. Nine guests (and guests in the warmest sense of hospitality) gathered around, family style, white tablecloths, candlelight, pitchers of water, and the convivial nature such surroundings are designed to create, as a cold February night and flurries settled on the City outside. The Chefs responsible and the owner, Len, joined us as each course was served, with conversation naturally drifting across subjects, settings, and indeed even languages. A more welcoming, yet 'cosmopolitan' experience I cannot imagine. If The Depanneur suffers from one thing, it's that it escapes a 'quick description'. That said, how can you pass this up? You shan't, I advise, in the strongest and sincerest of terms. Truly, outstanding. Thank you so much for the experience! Warmest Regards from your most distant "Sunday Dinner Club" member down in Little Rock, Arkansas!
