My boyfriend and I went to Canoe for a date night. We heard pretty good things about the restaurant and decided to give it a go. The service was great (as expected for a high-end restaurant like Canoe) but the food sadly didn't quite live up to our expectation.
We ordered a beef tartare and ceviche to start with and both appetizers were just decent. The fluke of the ceviche was bathed in passionfruit juice, topped with fried seaweed. The taste of the ingredients didn't go that well together and the beef tartare wasn't outstanding. We had the tea smoked duck breast and the pork with kimchi, chinese broccoli for main course. The duck breast was slightly overcooked so it wasn't very tender but we quite liked the sauce. The pork loin was definitely disappointing as it was literally just shao ro (those crispy pork that you can get at chinese barbecue stores). It cost around $45 for that dish and it was so overpriced for what it was. The meat was pretty dry too. We finished off the meal with a dessert - 46% milk chocolate with peanuts and banana cream. Again, it didn't leave a strong impression.
So would we go back again? The bill came at $225 for two including cocktails (tax and tips included). With that price and quality of food, it's disappointingly a no.
