Why to visit Canoe Restaurant and Bar
With floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows and rich, black furniture, Canoe exudes a slick, downtown attitude; take the elevator to the 54th-floor restaurant for amazing views of Toronto Island and the lake both on the way up and while dining. The cuisine is an eclectic mix of flavours and ingredients from around Canada that is both adventurous and surprising. Quebec foie gras, the freshest Pacific fish, and great Ontario fruit and dairy are all available. Start with Ontario burrata with birch-pickled cucumbers and prairie seeds, or Quebec foie gras with rhubarb, pink peppercorn, and sumac meringue. The tea-smoked duck breast with duck liver mousse, parsnip, and poached Niagara pear is delicious.
What's in their menu?
• Global food prepared with only the finest Canadian ingredients is on the menu. Before plunging into the rioni risotto with salt baked kohlrabi, start with the Ontario burrata with squid ink lavash.
• Choose the seven-course tasting menu for the most comprehensive Canoe experience. The deer tartare, creamed corn with chanterelle mushrooms, and Concord grape tart with La Sauvagine cheese mousse are all standouts.
• At lunchtime, a vast assortment of substantial pleasures is also offered. Every afternoon, soups, salads, sandwiches, and even braised Tamarack lamb are provided.
• At this Financial District eatery, you'll want to make more room for dessert. Any sweet craving will be satisfied here, with items ranging from a flourless chocolate cake with mint mousse to a rhubarb cheesecake and a classic butter tart (with brown sugar praline cream).
• The greatest of Canada's harvest is featured in seasonal cocktails. The Triple R, a rosy-hued mix of Creekside rose, raspberry juice, Tamarack Farms rhubarb shrub, and soda, is a summertime favourite.
