Carrot Harissa Dip

Brussels Sprouts with shrimp paste and bonito
A popular side dish featuring Brussels sprouts prepared with a savory, umami-rich combination of shrimp paste and bonito flakes.
"Every dish we tried was simply amazing—from the sprouts, to the butter chicken (the best I've ever had), to the incredibly tender pork chops, to the banana pudding."
Olivier L.
Pork Chop
The pork chop is consistently highlighted for its perfect cooking, tenderness, and delicious, unique flavor pairings like apple mustard and beets.
"The pork chop was perfectly cooked with a unique, delicious flavor, and the banana pudding was top-notch."
Mike Alincon
Cornish Hen
This dish features a perfectly cooked Cornish hen, often noted for its crispy skin and tender meat, sometimes served with a spicy butter sauce.

Vanessa Stepnowski
Potato Salad
More than just a side, this potato salad is described as "bougie" and "something special," often featuring unique additions like crispy onions and chilis.
"Everything was great, and I will be back for a full order of the harissa carrots - do not skip that on your visit. Top notch service, laid back comfortable atmosphere in beautiful downtown Dundas."
