I love that this restaurant is inspired by historic Canadian cuisine (of Aboriginals and settlers) because it makes it unique from the overload of Spanish, Italian, Thai and Japanese restaurants in Toronto.
What I ordered:
- Venison liver and foie gras (with bread crisp)
- L'éclade (mussels smoked in pine needles)
- Pan-roasted elk (with wild rice-crusted egg)
- Pigeon pie
- Louisbourg hot chocolate beignets
- Ungava Vesper cocktail
- Rosy Cheeked cocktail
The highlight by far was dessert. The chocolate beignets were so rich and the gooey centre actually tastes like spiced hot chocolate. Get this! The second highlight was the venison liver and foie gras (no, I'm not a foie gras snob).
Shared all this with a girlfriend and we were happily full, not stuffed to the brim (not complaining). Service was excellent and it was easy to make a reservation. Docked a star because I wish they had more items on the menu and the drinks were not memorable.
