🇨🇦 When "Sweetbread" Isn't Sweet at All! ✨

A Michelin-Starred Mexican Adventure 🌮 Oh what a deliciously confusing night at Toronto's ONLY Michelin-starred Mexican restaurant! 🤯 The Great Sweetbread Surprise 🍞➡️🥩 We came specifically for their famous off-menu "sweetbread" - imagine our shock when instead of dessert, we got... CALF THYMUS GLAND! 😱 After chatting with the chef, we learned "sweetbread" actually refers to this delicate offal. Though not what we expected, this became our meal's highlight - marinated to perfection, meltingly tender with a rich umami punch. A happy accident indeed! 🌟 Our Michelin-Worthy Feast 🌟 🐟 Blue Fin Tuna Tiradito: An electrifying combo of buttery tuna, spicy chili & sweet strawberries! The pickled daikon radish adds the perfect crunch. This appetizer will wake up your taste buds like an alarm clock! ⏰ 🥩 Beef Tartare (Off-Menu): Silky raw beef meets creamy mayo on crispy-sweet corn tortillas. Pure texture heaven! 🐚 Newfoundland Scallop: The crowd favorite! Plump scallops bathed in fragrant garlic butter - simple yet spectacular. 🐙 Octopus: Springy tentacles with corn miso and chili paste, paired with crunchy veggies. Wok hei vibes in fine dining form! 🦐 Bone Marrow & Wild Argentinian Shrimp: The shrimp? Divine. The marrow? Rich like soy-braised goodness. Best shared - that richness builds! 🍦 Avocado Leaf Ice Cream: Bold anise flavor meets tart Saskatoon berries and crunchy granola. Love it or... interesting experience! The Verdict 💫 Quetzal proves Mexican cuisine can be both rustic and refined. No stuffy French airs here - just vibrant flavors, an open kitchen's energy, and pure culinary joy. That's the real magic of food! Pro Tip: Their wood-fired grill is the heart of the restaurant - try anything cooked on it! 🔥 📍 Quetzal 419 College St, Toronto #MichelinToronto #MexicanFineDining #TorontoFoodie #UpscaleMexican #OffalDelights #TastingMenu #FoodAdventure #MichelinStarEats #TorontoRestaurants #HiddenGemsTO #UnexpectedFlavors #FoodieDiscoveries #QuetzalTO
