Wow!! I loved Bacchanal! The decor is Parisian at first glance but look a bit closer at the wall paper and you'll get a nod and a wink to Toronto. I love that they don't take themselves too seriously. The vibe is casual and relaxed for sure but make no mistake- the food is legit French haute cuisine.
Every morsel a melt in the mouth taste sensation.
I sipped on a 'non, je ne regret rien ' cocktail made with gin and mescal while I looked over the menu.
The waiter was very helpful giving us suggestions for wine pairings and menu selections. In the end we were happy with everything we ordered.
The oysters are fresh and served up with the classic accoutrements. The scallops were an absolute must-have if you are a seafood lover like me. Dressed in a tangy lemon sauce on a bed of crispy watercress. You have to try this starter. It was my favourite dish and one I would order again next time I come here.
The agnolotti with escargots were heavenly.
And for the main, my steak frites was cooked perfectly. Maximum enjoyment.
I WILL be back. Hopefully very soon.
