"Led by Chef John Horne, Canoe serves unapologetic and elegant Canadian cuisine, the menu being one complex and multi-layered answer to the question, “What is Canadian food?” Horne is curious, friendly, and ambitious in his exploration of this cuisine, utilizing ingredients from around the country—like wild rabbit, cattails, and seabuckthorn—and often naming menu items for their places of origin.
