| - A jewel of a find in the Toronto Pearson International Airport, this eclectic restaurant is full of tasty dishes from a variety of influences. Truly World Cuisine with 'Twist' on many old favourites.
I had the Lightly Wilted Spinach with brown garlic and olive oil. This was so tasty I ordered a second helping for desert.
I also had the 'Picnic Salad' with green beans, almonds, blueberries, quinoa mixed with a whole seed Dijon mustard dressing. Scrumptious!
The restaurant is the brain child of celebrity chef, television host, and cookbook author, Roger Mooking. Mooking comes from a culturally diverse background, the Trinidadian-born, Edmonton-raised chef is no stranger to combining diverse flavours to new and exciting signature dishes. While his earliest influences are his family's Chinese and Caribbean specialties, Roger has also trained under Japanese, Chinese, French, and Swiss German chefs.
Many of the dishes could be adapted to a dairy and gluten-free diet. The staff are fantastic and very helpful for those with dietary needs. My only wish is this restaurant had a second location in Toronto so people other than airline travelers had access to it.
