Boralia is such a fantastic place that really defines Canadian food! Majority of the dishes were pleasantly appealing and delicious as well. Coming with a party of 6, we ordered everything on the menu to share as everything looked worth trying! The venison and chicken were my least favorite from the menu as I found the venison to be too tough to chew and the chicken was fairly dry and bland. The stand outs were the whelk which were tender and wonderfully flavoured, the duck, the mushroom salad, the beef cheek and the pigeon pie - all which my group of friends and I agreed were our favorites!
Although we were stuffed, we of course had to order all of the desserts as well - and though we hardly had space in our tummys... we were glad we tried out each one to end off our wonderful meal! From all the desserts the must get is the liberal cake with conservative sauce - and with such a name like that, how could one not be curious to try it? Haha
With all that we ordered, it was even a nice touch that the chef himself, chef Wayne, came to introduce himself to our table to ask about our meal which we all greatly appreciated. He appeared to be a truley humble and passionate chef as he explained the history and concept of some of his dishes. Boralia in absolutely worth the visit is eating modern Canadian cuisine!
