| - The menu here is on the short side with only a handful of appetizers and entrees to choose from. They do have a great cocktail menu and a nice bar/lounge area... maybe for my next visit.
What I tried:
Tongue + Cheek - braised veal tongue, duck pate and pork head cheese with wild Canadian flavours ($15). The dish arrived on wooden board and I was impressed by its whimsical presentation. Looked like something from a fairy tail! The duck pate was simply wonderful and was incredibly light... my favourite part of the dish. The thinly shaved veal tongue was tasty and the head cheese, while a touch oily for my liking, was still delicious!
Steak Tartare - spiced raw beef with chicken liver parfait, pickles and grilled o&b artisan bread ($15 appetizer/$28 main), which came topped with a quail egg. A big hit! Reminded me a lot of the steak tartare at Auberge du Pommier (one of my favourites!)
Ricotta Gnudi - sautéed mushrooms, parmesan and chives ($15 appetizer/$20 main). Light, fluffy, pillowy gnudi covered in a parmesan foam. Earthy, fragrant... a mushroom lover's dream!
Pappardelle - braised short rib, caramelized onions and horseradish cream ($19). The dish contained pieces of pulled, tender short rib and I loved the caramelized onions that gave the pasta a great flavour. Despite the generous amount of horseradish cream, it wasn't actually too potent.
Chocolate Delice - dark Valrhona chocolate, caramelized bananas, peanut butter ice cream and brownie crumbs ($10). Love. Love. Love. A must order!
A fantastic meal from start to finish... remember to save room for dessert :)
