| - Wow what a culinary experience!!! We did the tasting menu and it was marvelous. The menu came with 4 courses but like the French, always a pleasant surprise it was really like a 7 course meal.
My favourite on the tasting menu was the Provençal White Asparagus, Ramps, Sorrel, Moutarde d'Orleans. The smoothness of the asparagus is extraordinary. The intercourse pain au lait was buttery and warm, just a touch battery and perfect. Another winner was the Sea Scallops, Radish, Vadouvan- it's blended in a curry spice blend and the scallops were cooked to perfection. Oh and the Provini Veal - melt in your mouth veal!
Least favourite for me: Pacific Halibut tasted a bit fishy, consistency was good or may it was because I hit a wall. The duck was very tasty but a touch dry. The wine pairing were awesome but the portions were huge, we were getting wasted half way through, I only lasted to the 3rd course and I couldn't have anymore! Not a bad thing I guess, I wish I could have had more.
The wine pairings, were amazing. The Sommelier was very knowledgable and told the story behind each wine. The service was one of the best I've seen in the city. They are swift and predict all your moves before you do them. They are subtle and make you feel so important but not in a flashy way. Kudos to the chef whom we didn't get to meet and the service staff that made us feel at home. The ambiance was amazing, very cozy and had a good home feel. The music wasn't pretentious, was a mixture of rock and rap.
It was an amazing culinary dining experience and such a gem in Toronto. Go for the whole gamut- tasting menu and wine pairing.
