| - The Oliver-Bonacini-owned Bannock is a split concept restaurant...one side is a takeout place (sandwiches for lunch, etc), the other side is a proper restaurant. This review is for the proper side (dinner).
The meal I ate there the other night was so good that I'm going back tonight to eat the exact same thing...yes, perhaps I'm weird that way, but I can't help myself. I've been thinking about it ever since!
CHICKEN POT PIE PERFECTION...flakey buttery puff pastry; creamy, flavourful filling that warms the soul. (Caution: hot! Be careful or you'll burn your tongue.) CPP is my favourite comfort food and Bannock's version is ridic. (Random hint: if you also love CPP, Summerhill Market's prepared version is excellent if you ever find yourself shopping there.) My only criticism is that Bannock's pie is a tad on the small side. Anyhow, I followed this up with a butter tart baked in the oven of GOD. Absolutely, positively, ahhh mazing.
Ordered their variation on caesar salad as a starter, which was also quite nice. And I stole a bite off a friend's dessert, the smores pie, which was ok but the tart stole the show.
Can't comment on any of the other dishes, but if you feel like a pot pie and butter tart, oh baby, Bannock or bust!!!
