Dinner Review:
Joy Bistro is a popular mid-priced restaurant in Leslieville. Known for its fabulous weekend brunch, and flavorful dinners, portions are fair in size, and menu selection exceptional. Owner Steve Pelton is present on most days, and is open to commentary on the meal. My partner had the Muscovy duck medium rare as suggested, and it was excellent. The accompaniments of rapini, sweet potato pancake & elderberry went perfectly with the duck. My Miso Cod was satisfactory. The cod was overdone and possibly frozen prior to cooking. The accompaniments of cabbage, and sundried tomatoes, and potatoes were interesting enough. Dessert - the Creme Brulee was lacking in the right texture and consistency, but was not offensive to the palate. The Bailey's infused chocolate cake was rich in cocoa taste and went well with the home made and experimental Chai ice cream.
