Toronto𤫠This Might Be the Best Value Michelin Starš
Toronto, Canada, Michelin Starš©āš³ Combining these three words, I was prepared for a hefty bill. From appetizers to mains to desserts to drinksš„, every single dish was stunning! After a beautiful and satisfying meal, I discovered that the average cost per person was just about a hundred bucks. I was truly amazedācould this be the best value Michelin-starred restaurant ever?š„ š¤ Vitelli Tonnato ($32): The first appetizer was already mind-blowing. I naively thought this might be the best dish of the night. The veal carpaccio was incredibly thin and tender. The sauce, a tuna and olive oil base, was smooth and velvety, with a rich, salty creaminess that melted in your mouth. Paired with capers and caper leaves, it had layers of complexity that left me in awe. š¤ Radicchio e Recco ($27): This blood orange and fennel salad was like a little flower basket. The refreshing fruitiness burst in my mouth. Digging deeper felt like a treasure hunt. The ricotta cheese, honeyed nuts, and the blend of vegetables and fruits came together perfectly. Multiple textures and flavors made it both refreshing and appetizing. š¤ Spaghetoni ai Ricci di Mare ($45): Sea urchin pasta was one of my highest expectations. However, compared to some other stunning dishes, it seemed slightly less impressive. The tomato base with added breadcrumbs for texture was good, but perhaps because Iāve been spoiled by Japanese sea urchin, this BC sea urchin didnāt taste as sweet or fresh. š¤ Lorighittas al Mare ($38): Octopus and scallop pasta was another favorite. The pasta, handmade into braided circles, was cooked perfectly al dente, with just the right bite. The tender, juicy squid played a supporting role to the pasta. The garlic oil sauce was mildly spicy and salty. What seemed like a simple combination turned out to be irresistibly delicious. š¤ Cavoletti ($15): This was the best Brussels sprouts Iāve ever had! Paired with smoked anchovies and pistachios, it was a brilliant creation by the chef. š¤ Millefoglie al Cocco ($19): The Napoleon pastry was incredibly thin and crispy. Just a slight bite and it melted in your mouth. Coconut and passion fruit are a match made in heaven, offering a sweet and delightful welcome to summer. As everyone knows, Torontoās high-value restaurants often require reservations or involve long waits. This place is no exception. Regular seating can be tough to book, but bar seats are much easier.
