Auberge du Pommier
Fine dinning in Toronto's uptown. I was invited to a leadership tech talk at this fine establishment. Unfortunately the menu was fixed but still the five star quality was evident in the food preparation and taste. During our tech discussion the meal was served, we started with the salad of greens, asparagus almondine and a poached egg with a light hollandaise sauce. It was very interesting, probably not something I would have picked for myself. Then the main was tenderloin cooked to perfection at medium rare with broccolini with pomme-de-terre sarladaise with a jus au sherry et molasses. The main was absolutely perfect in taste seasoning and presentation. The desert was a light pineapple sorbet. I enjoyed this fine meal, paired ,with a nice cabernet sauvignon from the Napa valley. All in all a five star, will have to return to have a gander at the open menu.
