La Palette
[?]
416-603-4900
Queen Street between Spadina and Bathurst is much in need of some good taste, its identity largely defined by fast food and fabric stores. Shrewdly anticipating a nearby condo development, La Palette co-owner Shamez Amlani has reproduced his Kensington Market bistro on this dodgy strip. La Palette’s romantic lighting and floral tablecloths are almost a parody of a French restaurant, but Amlani’s suave hosting is impossible to resist. Executive chef Brook Kavanagh has made few changes to the menu since moving. A staple of raw horse is, depending on availability, expanded to a tartare quintet plate that includes elk, wild boar, beef and bison. Ask them to go easy on the caper-heavy marinade, which camouflages the flavours of the different proteins. An international wine list is available by the glass. Mains $20–$35.
