Best Farm To Table Restaurants in Yorkdale

I love Burdock, the beers are so great and the space itself wonderful. The service was really lackluster, a trend I'm seeing throughout the city these days unfortunately (but maybe understandably) - no enthusiasm, not consistent, not checking in if the food is good or if we have everything, a general "oh yeah you're still here" vibe. Not something I've experienced at Burdock before and was really excited to show my friend from out of town. Overall a fine, just fine, experience.

We did the tasting menu at the chefs counter plus a few drinks. Service is friendly and well informed. Prompt and tight. The kitchen is methodical and very well oiled. While the 54th floor views are supposedly exceptional the front row to service is amazing if you are an industry individual. Food is top notch and well executed, the 9 course taste canoe menu features laborious and creative techniques showcasing Ron McKinlay’s love of Canadian products and cuisine The stuffed chicken wing course and veal compositions were exceptional. CDC Roderick Tomiczek hot courses were beautiful plated and full of flavour and texture. The pine one sorbet with apple and honey from pastry chef Raffaele Stea was refined and refreshing after the gauntlet of savoury courses. And as a fan of carrot cake the main sweet courses were beautiful was hardly recognizable as a traditional carrot cake but more of a “mess this up” of textures, crazy techniques, and left field flavours Black garlic!?! Who does that! But it works and tastes amazing Canoe rocks Staff rocks View rocks Food rocks Service rocks. Go. Definitely a special occasion place to go. Resos recommended.

Great food and great atmosphere. The restaurant has a nice noise level. That’s not too loud and makes it easy to enjoy your meal with your company.
