Restaurant Review | Hidden Gem in Midtown Canada

I've passed by this restaurant countless times with its soft avocado green façade, always packed with diners and people enjoying the street-side patio. It always tempted me to give it a try, but every time, it was fully booked. On a whim, I discovered that there were outdoor seats available that day, catching the last moments of al fresco dining. So, I enjoyed a glass of Bordeaux right bank red wine, embracing the gentle breeze and warm lights as Toronto welcomed its second winter. 🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷 This place is perfect for special occasions and offers a lighter, more subtle flavor profile without heavy, artificial tastes. You can really appreciate the natural flavors of the ingredients. The 2-course option for girls is quite filling. 🦪 Oysters: The best starter! ❗️ At $2 each, they're incredibly fresh and sweet, already prepared for you to enjoy immediately—super satisfying! 🥘 Creamy Mussels: You immediately get the rich aroma of white wine and a hint of onion, without the heavy, greasy creaminess. The mussels, though not particularly plump, are delicious, with the wine and garlic enhancing the shellfish's natural taste. 🍗 Duck Confit: Having duck confit at a restaurant is always a good choice. I opted for this main dish to avoid any mistakes. Unlike the traditionally salty duck confit, this one is pleasantly light with a crispy exterior, paired well with soft potatoes. 🍝 Meat Sauce Pasta: Most of the pasta dishes here can be ordered in half portions. The one shown is a full serving, and even a novice like me can tell it's made with fresh pasta. Compared to Italian restaurants, the meat sauce here highlights the natural flavors of the ingredients. 🍮 Caramel Crème Brûlée: An excellent choice! Crack the crispy caramel shell with your spoon to reveal a creamy, warm interior. The vanilla bean adds an extra touch of satisfaction. Be sure to make a reservation in advance! #DinnerTonight #LivingInToronto #InspirationNotes #HiddenGemDessertSpot #HiddenGemRestaurant #DrinksRoutine #TorontoDateNight #TorontoDateRestaurant #TorontoEats #TorontoRestaurantReview #TorontoGastropub ### Name: Sorrel Address: 1158 Yonge St, Toronto, ON Type: Restaurant ###
