Noorden offers modern Dutch food in a rustic, hipster setting. It was my first time trying Dutch cuisine in Toronto. The menu is not very extensive and because the food (primarily tapas-style) is meant to be shared, most of the dishes come in very small portions.
I ordered one of their Amsterdam Brewery beers on rotating tap (can't recall the name!). For our large group, we shared a bunch of appetizers - bitterballen, lamb satay skewers, fried spice gouda, crispy deviled eggs, and war fries. The war fries were definitely the highlight!
For our "mains" I shared the beef tartar, roasted duck leg, and grilled flank steak. The beef tartar comes with some crispy chips - nothing to write home about. The duck leg was small and frankly a little underwhelming. I personally don't think this dish is worth the price tag. The flank steak was just okay. I enjoyed the marinated black kale that it is served with.
Definitely an "A-OK" restaurant which is why I gave Noorden 3 stars.
