This
place
deserves
Michelin
recognition!
It's
better
than
actual
Michelin
restaurants
I've
tried
in
Toronto.
My
fiance
and
I
did
the
8-course
set
dinner
menu
and
spent
roughly
2.5h
there.
They
provide
a
slip
of
paper
listing
some
key
ingredients
but
otherwise,
you
have
the
option
of
doing
the
whole
course
"blind".
There
are
no
names
for
the
dishes.
🍄
Food:
My
two
words
to
describe
the
food
is
*perfectly
balanced*.
Each
dish
was
made
up
of
different
components.
When
tasted
apart,
they
were
almost
overwhelming
in
flavour,
but
when
tasted
together,
it
was
truly
a
symphony.
Everything
was
delicately
composed
on
the
plate
like
a
piece
of
art.
You
could
tell
the
chefs
really
thought
about
every
aspect
of
every
dish.
The
one
dish
that
stood
out
the
most
was
the
cabbage
and
cashew
terrine
with
red
wine
puree.
Never
tasted
anything
quite
like
it
beforen!
🛎️
Service:
Huge
shout-out
to
the
wait
staff!
Everyone
we
interacted
with
was
incredibly
friendly,
knowledgeable,
and
welcoming.
They
were
very
attentive
to
our
needs
and
seemed
happy
to
be
there.
I
liked
how
they
explained
each
dish
clearly
and
slowly
versus
rushing
through
it
like
at
other
restaurants.
🕯️Ambience:
I
wish
I
took
photos
of
their
interior
space.
It
looks
a
lot
better
than
some
of
the
old
photos
people
posted
from
years
ago.
They've
definitely
renovated
the
main
dining
area
on
the
first
floor
since.
It's
an
elegant
and
classy
spot
for
a
romantic
date
night,
and
the
music
was
at
a
perfect
volume
for
conversation.
✨
One
other
nice
touch
was
that
the
warm
courses
were
served
on
warm
plates,
and
the
cold
courses
like
desert
were
served
on
cold
plates.
A
small
thing,
but
demonstrates
their
attention
to
detail!
I
seriously
can't
recommend
this
place
enough.
Our
waitress
said
they
completely
change
their
menu
every
season,
so
I'll
definitely
be
coming
back
for
more!
I'm
so
glad
we
discovered
Avelo!
