🇨🇦 Summerlicious Day 7: George Restaurant Review 🍽️✨
📍 111C Queen St E, Toronto Lunch at George was a mixed bag of surprises—quiet midday service, but the menu felt like a watered-down version of their dinner magic. 🥗 Starters 🌿 Red Watercress Salad: Healthy but forgettable (yawn). 🍅 Chilled Maple Smoked Tomato Soup: Like liquid BBQ sauce—deep, smoky, but heavy. 🥒 Zucchini Tartare: The star appetizer! Crunchy pickled zucchini + sweet pea purée + crispy rice layers. Refreshing! 🍝 Mains 🧀 Ricotta Gnocchi: Our favorite! Silky tomato sauce + creamy cheese blanket = heaven. 🐟 Salmon: Perfectly seared, but needed more oomph. Pickles & chili sauce saved it! 🍗 Cornish Hen: Dry-ish chicken with loud-but-clashing flavors (black garlic vs. pickled veggies). 🍰 Desserts 🍋 Lemon Tart: Acid bomb—pucker warning! ☠️ ☁️ Pavlova: Vanished on the tongue (where’s the flavor?). 🍓 Rhubarb Sponge: Only dessert worth ordering! Tangy rhubarb + crispy pastry shreds + caramel = perfection. ✨ Final Verdict George’s sauce mastery shines (gnocchi, we salute you), but lunch feels like an afterthought. For first-timers: Dinner is the real show! #SummerliciousTO #TorontoEats #FineDining #FoodieReview #HiddenGems
