I feel that ever since I've come back from Paris, I always compare the quality of a restaurant to the best ones I've been to in France. Few come close with the exception of a handful I've gone to so far. Brothers has a small, simple and ever changing menu that really sets the standard very high.
Being the biggest bread lover you know, let me tell you that the bread they start you off with at Brothers is DIVINE. The crust was perfectly crunchy while the inside was moist and fluffy. I can't truly describe to you how joyful it makes me to have GOOD freshly baked bread. They serve it with a side of salted butter for an extra bonus!
I've tried 3 main dishes.
There was a braised rabbit gnocchi special that day which I could not have been HAPPIER about. I LOVE pasta and have a crazy gnocchi obsession so it was just my lucky day. I'm not a fan of eating rabbit, but honestly I couldn't say no to gnocchi. These were the SOFTEST, little flavourful pillows!!
I also tried the quail with honey and olives. Such a simple dish where the ingredients came together in perfect harmony. Of course I made sure to soak up all the honey sauce at the bottom. Lastly I had the steelhead trout with Jerusalem artichoke, watercress and beurre blanc. The fish was cooked to perfection with a nice cripsy skin, which everyone knows is the best part!
A small, SIMPLE menu where the dishes will exceed your expectations. Trust me when I tell you that this is a MUST do restaurant in Toronto
