Already a favourite of Davisville Village, the small, cheery room—about 40 seats—fills with casually dressed professionals who have managed to find both a destination restaurant and a quality meal just a stroll from home. Executive chef Masayuki Tamaru, the former co-owner of another neighbourhood darling, the late JOV Bistro in Leaside, has done time with some of this city’s best—Didier Leroy, Jamie Kennedy—and his menu shows the influence of both old-school French and Ontario seasonal cooking. Farmed Ontario Arctic char is equally well executed: crispy-skinned yet moist, with a decadent saffron-scented sorrel beurre blanc. On one visit, a thick, somewhat bland, grass-fed Ontario strip loin is grilled rare, topped with horseradish butter and served with chipotle mayo for delicious dipping in steak frites. Desserts are just as successful; Black Forest cake is draped in marzipan and topped off with kirsch-soaked cherries. Personable and accommodating service. Mains $25.
