The Joy of No-Tax, No-Tip Dining!
My foodie friends have been raving about this place forever - a Canadian culinary gem famous for its no-tipping policy! With the current HST-free bonus, I finally got to experience the hype. 🍽️ Dish Breakdown 🦆 Duck Liver Pâté Silky smooth with black grape jam & almond crumble - zero gaminess, just perfection. The fruit bread? Chef’s kiss. 🍣 Smoked Salmon Rillettes Aesthetic AF! Creamy salmon piled on crispy potato chips, topped with caramelized onions & fried garlic. 🍄 Chicken-Fried Oyster Mushrooms Unexpected MVP! The yuzu glaze gives major Japanese karaage vibes. ⚠️ Roasted Berkshire Pork Duo Skip it. $45 for tiny meat portions that taste like regret. 🍔 STN Burger (Their Signature) Juicy medium-rare patty, pillowy bun, fresh veggies - worth the hype. Fries? Meh, oversalted. 🍹 Cocktails Nothing memorable. Maybe stick to wine? 💡 The Real Win No hidden costs: Menu prices = final bill (no tax + no tip!) $50-70/person for solid satisfaction (sans alcohol) Chef’s Tasting Menu ($125) seems overpriced vs. à la carte 📍 Richmond Station ⏳ Reservations essential - this place packs up! #TorontoEats #HackTheBill
