🇨🇦 Summerlicious Review: Blu Restaurant
📍 Blu Restaurant Toronto ⚠️ Heads up: The actual Summerlicious menu differs from their website - rainbow trout replaced with salmon, and no matcha panna cotta in sight. Full menu at the end for reference. 🍽️ The Good: 🥩 Truffled Beef Carpaccio (appetizer) Only 3 slices but worth it - perfect truffle-cheese balance with crispy capers. Best dish of the meal. 🍓 Strawberry Panna Cotta (dessert) A redemption arc! Tart hibiscus powder cuts the sweetness - how all panna cottas should be. 🐟 Pan-Seared Salmon (main) Crispy skin + those same addictive fried capers. Solid (if unremarkable). 🙅♀️ The Misses: 🧀 Burrata Bland "milk bun" after removing peaches (allergy request). 🍗 Spinach Ricotta Chicken Involtini Dry breast meat with forgettable tomato sauce - gym-bro approved, flavor-bro rejected. 🍰 Pistachio Tiramisu Cloyingly sweet. No coffee powder = no soul. A crime against both pistachios AND tiramisu. Verdict: $41/person for lunch. 2 standout dishes, veg-friendly options. Worth a first try, but not a repeat. #Summerlicious2025 #TorontoItalian #RestaurantReviews
