| - I've been here THREE times - twice for dinner (July 2016, July 2017) and once for brunch (December 2016) - and Antler Kitchen & Bar has never disappointed me.
I love Canadian cuisine, especially Antler's Canadian cuisine. I love the foraged concept, the wild meats, the regional ingredients. I really love the decor of the restaurant. It's small, which goes well with the theme and the exposed brick walls. It's all a very wild concept and I can't get enough of it. I follow Chef Michael Hunter on Twitter, on Instagram. I follow the restaurant on Twitter, Instagram, and I think even Facebook.
Yeah, so if you see KELLLSIFY liking things on Instagram and Twitter, and I don't know, Facebook, THAT'S MEEEE.
Here are all the items I've ever ordered:
1. The Seasonal Soup (I don't remember what it was called, but it was tasty!)
2. Charcoal Grilled Yakitori - Chicken Thigh, Wild Mushroom, and Duck Heart
3. Pappardelle (First time I tried rabbit!)
4. Roasted Duck Breast (I love duck, it's probably my favorite protein, but damn, that butternut squash pure is something else)
5. Eggs Benedict - Pork Belly
6. Foraged Cedar Infused Ice
7. Some sort of cheesecake, it had pistachios and berries I think (Off menu as of July 2017)
8. Maple Toffee Pudding (WOWOWO THE BEST. My BF loves ginger ice cream and the wild ginger ice cream got him wild. I will never eat ginger ice cream the same at any AYCE sushi joint now).
9. The Himalayas Cocktail (Pink and tastes sweet and delicious)
Attention: You must try the Maple Toffee Pudding.
I've ALSO tried bits and pieces of their Game Burger and their roasted deer during Taste of Toronto.
Everything I've mentioned tastes like 100%. (The Maple Toffee Pudding maybe 100.1%.) I personally would choose the Duck Breast for you, but I think they're most known for their Spice Ash Crusted Rack of Deer.
And because yours annoying truly takes pictures of almost all the foods she eats, I've uploaded pictures of most of the items I've listed above.
I will try my best to eat all the items in Antler during my life here in Toronto.
Of course, no restaurant is perfect.
Some things to consider:
1. $$$$$$$$. If you want to enjoy a drink, an appetizer, an entree, and a dessert, you're looking at an upwards of $50 for sure. The last time I came here, the bill came out to be around $110 in total for me and my boyfriend combined.
2. Make reservations ahead of time because the restaurant has limited table space. The first time I came here, my friend and I got seated at the bar. The second time, I got seated at the bar-like tables facing the windows. I asked really politely the third time, and they gave me a table. (I almost got stuck at the bar again.)
If you keep those two things in mind, you're bound to have a FRUITFUL time and meal.
TLDR; COME EAT HERE. TRY OUT WILD FOODS.
