| - The first thing you notice when walking into Cluny is the picturesque space that the restaurant encompasses. Cluny was designed by one of Canada's Top Hospitality Design Firm, and I can really see why. From the ceilings to the tiling, there was no bad spot in the restaurant to sit.
Here is what we ordered:
- Spice Roasted Pumpkin Bisque | puffed wheat berries, almond milk chantilly
- Cluny Black Kale Caesar | balsamic dressing, smoked cheddar and chick peas
- Chickpea and Sweet Potato Tangine | couscous, harissa and apricot
- Alsatian Choucroute Sandwich | braised pork shank, sauerkraut, mustard, frites
- Pomegranate Granita
- Roasted Hazelnut Profiterole | chocolate chantilly
In summary, I really enjoyed it here! The decor really did it for me.
The service was great, but I feel like they weren't at their best on the day we were there. For example, they did not give us our food in sync. This seems like such a small thing but it does have an impact (for example, they gave me my soup 5-10 minutes before V got her salad. By the time her salad came, my soup was already cold).
About the food, it was alright. I had no complains about the bisque (they gave me a new one). The salad was good, but they had added a little too much dressing. The tangine was very tomato-y and got cold too fast for my pace of eating haha. The sandwich was very difficult to eat but the fries were really good with the aoili sauce on the side. The granita was refreshing and the profiterole was presented nicely. But as I was looking over their regular menu, I already pointed out many things I wanted to try. I can't wait to be back and try their beef bourguignon poutine (yeah, that exists...)!!
