Maison Boire was hands down one of the best culinary experiences of my life. Not only was the service exceptional, but the food was divine. The ingredients are so fresh that it gave me a new perspective on what real food tastes like. It is clear that every dish is created and plated with love and intention. We started with the delicious vegetarian Pizzette, which came with delicious fries and the freshest salad I have ever tasted. I had the risotto, and my partner had the lamb. Both were so flavorful and the ingredients were clearly selected carefully to complement the dishes. We finished dinner with the cranberry sorbet with champagne, which was a fresh and inventive way to end the meal. Each dish was described perfectly by our server Alex. He told us that this was voted the most sustainable restaurant in Canada due to its use of only local ingredients, some of which are so local that they are grown on the rooftop of the restaurant. Alex was kind enough to give us a tour of the restaurant after our meal, and we learned more about the history of the establishment and their future goals towards an even more sustainable food supply. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. Definitely will...
Read moreMy 6th time here and my experience was nowhere near as satisfying as the first time. What was the most disappointing was the change in menu. The choices were limited with absolutely no fish on the menu at all. The cheese and cold cut platter which was amazing and what I was looking forward to as an entree was removed from the menu as well. I was told that the menu will change according to the seasons and to what is available locally which is fine but as long as the choices remain limited as they are I don’t think I will be returning. I chose the grilled cheese cake for dessert and I have to say that it was no where near a “cheese cake” and not refined at all for the type of restaurant Maison Boire is reputed to be. I ate everything I ordered because I was hungry and all was very tasty but it does’t make up for how disappointing this experience was compared to all the other times. The staff was pleasant and the service was great as usual but my dinner left so much to be desired....
Read moreOMG! The place is unrecognizable since Maison Boire took over this local. Gone is the outdated kind of Italian Da Teresa, now it's a very modern and classy restaurant. The décor is gorgeous with fancy upholstery a nice looking bar and even a cool mirror ceiling. The tables, the chairs, the benches, it's all brand new. They really did a serious relooking job. The food was good too. They specialised in braised and grilled plates, which gives a nice smell to the place. It's creative and not too expensive at least for diner it was very reasonable. They had a nice attention to details, fresh homemade bread, a choice of aromatised water, and friendly service, I will definitely go back, probably with friends to show them too. However, I wish they would improve their choices of wine, it was a very basic and...
