• British • Danforth / Greek Town
A small apartment in the heart of Leslieville, one is welcome to come by with their dining partner/ partners (max 6 people) and as I walk you down a gastronomic tour of my culinary experiences, from learning how to make a simple bisque from my father in a minuscule kitchen in Calcutta, therein working at Michelin starred kitchen, Le Gavroche, London at a tender age etc. The evening dishes, approximately six courses, are mostly driven through the dogma of being aware of seasonality and produce and above all technical skills. Every menu is created the morning of the dining experience. Moreover for the curious of hearts, I would be cooking and baking dishes, right in front of you, giving you a true peek into the world of fine dining in top kitchens, somewhat akin to an omakase.All this is in an evening's worth of time spent leisurely drinking and eating delicious meal in great company and hopefully the best story to tell in the foreseeable future.Dietary restrictions kindly message me.

    The space is absolutely incredible. There is so much intentionality built in, and every last detail contributes to the 80's theme. I truly felt like i was transported when I walked through the front door. Expansive wine list with a bunch of accessibly priced options. Lots of local, but also lots of international gems. The food was all completely on point with very reasonable portions. Highlights were the bread service, popcorn mussels and clams, and the Sunday Roast dinner. Flawless service with just enough touch points. We will DEFINITELY be back to try more of the menu. Great job team, keep it up!

    We had a fabulous time. My steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare. Our server CJ was attentive to our every need and always made sure we had a drink. Everyone was so friendly including the host, and the washrooms are private and clean. This is a great spot for happy hour in the city. We can’t wait to go back!
