Queen West
Brunch
Dishes at this zero-waste, locally foraged, alchemical eatery are on the smaller side but pack the complexity of lead freshly turned to gold. Mainstays on the often-changing menu include a risotto accented with wild Ontario ramps, al dente sweet peas, and pureed asparagus stems (that would otherwise end up in the bin), adding an extra dimension of vegetalia. Or consider an aged garum-loaded venison tartare with house-made miso focaccia. Dessert might be a deconstructed bowl of vegan rhubarb cake soaked with oat-based crème anglaise, hiding a foamy meringue treasure nested inside.
