🇨🇦 Toronto | Don Alfonso 1890 - Is Eel Gelato Actually Good? 🍦🍽️

📍 Don Alfonso 1890 – A Michelin-starred experience where art meets fine dining. ✨ First Impressions: • "We’re in for a long, luxurious meal" vibes the second you walk in. • Service? Impeccable. • Bread + truffle butter? LIFE-CHANGING. 🍽️ Dish Breakdown: 🌟 STARTER: Bread & Truffle Butter • Warm, fluffy rolls + INSANE truffle butter = first bite had us wide-eyed. 🤯 🎨 The Experimental: 🍦 Eel Gelato • Wild rose scent + pasta & caviar = sounds dreamy… but • Reality? Cold, sweet gelato + eel = "brain can’t compute". • Verdict: Admire the creativity, but won’t reorder. 🔥 The Classics (Safe Bets): 🥩 Ontario Wagyu Carpaccio • Bright acidity + crunchy nuts = perfect balance. 🦞 Charcoal-Grilled Lobster • Sweet meat + smoky cauliflower purée = elevated comfort. 🥩 Beef Tenderloin Wellington • Crispy crust + juicy center = no regrets here. 💡 Final Thoughts: • Like a "food art gallery"—some pieces wow you, others confuse. • Best for: Adventurous eaters who love unexpected flavor combos. • Play it safe? Stick to pastas, meats & seafood. Would you try eel gelato? Brave or pass? 👇 #MichelinToronto #FineDining #FoodAsArt #TorontoFoodie #DonAlfonso1890
