🇨🇦Toronto|Gorgeous Dining at La Plume Brasserie ✨🍽️
La Plume has been on my must-try list forever, but I never found the perfect occasion to visit—until now! 🎉 A close friend’s partner flew all the way from Texas to see her and specifically requested French cuisine. Well, what better time than the present? Let’s finally cross this one off the list! 💃 The Story Behind - La Plume is nestled in The WELL, backed by the renowned hospitality group Oliver & Bonacini (O&B)—the powerhouse behind Toronto’s iconic restaurants like Auberge du Pommier and Canoe. 🌟 The name "La Plume" (meaning "the feather") embodies lightness, elegance, and the refined artistry of French gastronomy. 🪶 Their mission? To deliver an authentic French dining experience. Leading the kitchen is Chef Jacques Laurent, a veteran of Parisian Michelin-starred restaurants, bringing true Gallic flair to Toronto. 🇫🇷👨🍳 Vibe Check - Designed by Solid Design Creative, La Plume masterfully blends classic French countryside charm with modern sophistication. 🏡✨ We lucked out with a booth in the right wing, where watercolor floral murals, arched plaster details, and whimsical blossom-shaped lamps create a dreamy atmosphere. ☁️🌷 The floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with golden afternoon light, while warm wood accents and soft lighting make you feel instantly at ease. 🌞🍃 As evening falls, spring breezes drift through the arches, making the flower lights sway gently—pure romance! 💖🌬️ The Feast - Prix Fixe Menu ✨ 2-course (55)∣3−course(69) Highly recommend the set menu—insane value! 💯 Starters 🧅 French Onion Soup (19) 🍤 Tempura Shrimp, Calamari & Zucchini (22) 🦢 Foie Gras Crêpe Suzette (36)🧀Burrata(19) 🐌 Escargot & Mushroom Toast ($28) Mains 🥩 10oz New York Striploin (58)(+10 for upgrades) 🍗 Giannone Chicken (36) 🍝 Spinach & Ricotta Agnolotti (36) 🌿 The Jungle Breeze (14)🍾∗∗HugoSpritz∗∗(20) Final Notes - Got home and did some digging—turns out there’s a hidden speakeasy on the second floor called Bonne Nuit! 🕵️♂️ The entrance?
