Sad to hear Bent is closing at the end of May 2017, so I felt compelled to write about my dining experience on April 14, 2017 (yeah, late, I know).
Stopped by here with my friend to have dinner before we went to go see The Bodyguard musical over at the Ed Mirvish Theatre. We were walking around in the area before our dinner reservation and noticed their Garden to Table poster outside their restaurant (vegetarian promotion at $38 per person for a four course meal).
We opted to try this out since we'd both never been to Bent before (we've been to Susur's other restaurants: Lee, Luckee); the promotion consisted of the following:
- Singaporean-Style Slaw
- Buddha Lettuce Cups
- Bent-O Box (moroccan chickpea stew, baba ganoush, cheeseburger spring roll, aloo gobi gratin)
- Homemade Almond Milk Panna Cotta
We managed to finish everything and it was all delicious. My favourite was the aloo gobi gratin and baba ganoush... definitely an interesting take on these dishes. I've had the Singaporean-style slaw before at Lee during a Winterlicious meal and the smaller portion for this promotion was just as good.
Overall, a good deal! Sad to hear the restaurant is closing but hopefully Susur and his sons will open a new restaurant soon.
