Took my husband to the Canis restaurant for his birthday. I keep seeing pictures of their famous duck dish all over the place so was a little disappointed when they said it's no longer on the menu. However I did get the duck confit which was delicious, more on that later.
It looks like Canis changes its menu quite frequently to keep things interesting, and I applaud them for the effort. Most things on the menu was good, and a four course meal of this quality for $65 is definitely a steal. My favourite was the duck confit (the chef definitely knows how to do duck), the meat was tender and the skin super crispy. I also liked my buttermilk rhubarb and hazelnut dessert, it was very light airy, visually pleasing and full of flavour. My husband liked his squid in ink dish, and the foie gras tart.
The reason why I deducted one star is because the lamb loin dish was quite the disappointment... It was way too chewy, and difficult to cut... Not sure what went wrong there... Hopefully it's just an off night because otherwise that dish shouldn't be on the menu. Also they could probably expand their drinks menus to include some cocktails or nonalcoholic drinks. The drinks menu was mostly wine.
All in all, great little bistro serving Canadiana style food with potential to be even better. Good service too.
