What to Order
Beef Tartare
This beef tartare is uniquely prepared with oxtail mayo, offering a rich and well-balanced flavor profile.
"The foie gras parfait is not the best I've ever had, but I gotta say the beef tartar is probably one of the best I've had in Toronto."
Angela Ho
Lobster Benedict
A brunch highlight, this dish features perfectly poached lobster and a generous amount of meat with a light, spot-on hollandaise sauce.
"The real highlight, though, was the lobster Benedict. While it’s on the pricier side, it felt like very fair value given the perfectly poached lobster and the generous amount of meat (also no filler bits like the claw tips). The hollandaise was light and spot-on one of those sauces that really shows the quality of a kitchen."
Cedric Chen
Sea Bream
This fish dish is described as heavenly, showcasing sophisticated and delicate flavors.
"Our favourite dishes were the smoked sardinas, the sea bream (heavenly!) and beef tartare (uniquely prepared with oxtail mayo) iberico canestri (vodka sauce and ham - so good) and dry aged tenderloin."
Natalie Taylor
Scones
These scones are a standout, particularly praised during the brunch and high tea experiences.
"Best scones ever!!"
Alejandra Villavicencio
Scallop Crudo
A fresh and clean appetizer, the scallop crudo is beautifully presented and offers a delicate taste.
"Had the scallop crudo, steak tartare and pork chop. Dishes were presented beautifully and executed well."
