  • I travel to the Toronto area around once or twice a year, and this time I decided I wanted a bit of a splurge for dinner. Having considered many other higher-end places, I I figure I can go to good French and Italian restaurants in the bay area, so decided on Canoe due to its "Regional Canadian" cuisine. My coworkers and I got in a bit early for our reservation, so we went to the bar area, which had a really good view of the city. We had a bit of a wait and was seated after our reservation time, but the service once we were seated was very good. We considered the tasting menu, but decided that we can get a bit more variety if we just ordered a la carte and tried each other's food. To start, we got the oysters, appetizer sampler, and sweetbreads. The oysters were fresh and really good, as good I've gotten at other places, and the appetizer platter was also good. However, the sweetbreads were fantastic! For my entree, I got the suckling pig, which was good, though I was slightly disappointed that the 3 preparations did not include pork belly. I had a small taste of my coworkers' entrees and the poultry dish (squab or quail?) was the best. The highlight of the meal for me was the fabulous cheese platter...they have an all-Canadian cheese menu and I got 7 different cheeses! My favorites were the unpasteurized goat's milk cheeses from Quebec, I guess the lack of pasteurization really does makes a difference. Since these type of cheeses are illegal in the States I'm really glad to be able to try them. The portions were plentiful, and they provided a lot of bread, nuts, fruit spread and honey to go with the cheeses, so I had enough leftover to eat the next day. The cheeses were just so good that I didn't even want to try the desserts my coworkers ordered. For wine, I had a glass of a Canadian rose bubbly at the bar, followed by a Canadian reisling for appetizers, Argentinian malbec for my entree, and Australian tawny port-style wine for dessert (good thing I wasn't driving!). They were all decent and reasonably priced, and went well with the food. The service was overall good and well-paced. Sure, it was a bit pricey, but I thought this place was worth the experience (I would have paid for the cheese platter alone!) I would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a splurge meal in Toronto.
