Fine Dining at Auberge du Pommier | A Timeless French Escape

🍎 The Story Auberge du Pommier (French for "The Inn Under the Apple Tree")—affectionately nicknamed "Little Apple"—has been a North York French dining icon since 1987. Part of the Olive & Bonacini empire, it’s now helmed by Chef Doug Penfold (ex-Jump, Canoe, Biff’s Bistro). ✨ The Vibe Nestled within two 1860s log cabins, AdP blends cottage-core charm with upscale elegance. Think: Winter: Crackling fireplaces ❄️🔥 Summer: Flower-draped patios 🌸 Year-round: Whimsical brass animal decor (like a wealthy family’s countryside Airbnb). Fun fact: A wedding venue favorite—I last visited in 2019 during a sunlit celebration! 🍽️ The Meal 6-Course Tasting Menu ($165pp) 1️⃣ Noix de Saint-Jacques Poêlées | Seared scallops 2️⃣ Homard | Buttery lobster tail 3️⃣ Mezzelune | Mushroom-cheese ravioli 4️⃣ Canard | Perfectly pink duck breast 5️⃣ Remise en Bouche | Melon sorbet palate cleanser 6️⃣ Tarte au Caramel et Popcorn | Caramel-popcorn tart (+ petits fours) 🍹 Pairings Mocktail ($60) | Zero-proof creativity Wine ($90) | 14oz curated selection À la Carte Sips: Amaretto Sour ($18) | Chablis ($28) | Champagne ($34) 🅿️ Practical Notes Free underground parking (ask for a voucher) Service shines, though the menu leans "corporate-safe" (classic O&B formula). #TorontoFineDining #FrenchCuisine #SpecialOccasionEats
