Taverne Bernhardt’s - Review - Beaconsfield Village - Toronto - The Infatuation

"While some farm-to-table spots bore diners with heirloom-lettuce backstories, Bernhardt’s, a vintage French barn house oasis just off the Ossington strip, cuts the chatter and serves what counts: seasonal plates emphasizing local ingredients that are always flat-out delicious. The real move is to chase off-menu plates, since the menu changes frequently and repeats are rare. Anything that grows from the ground hits. Maybe it’s crunchy fried eggplant with honey and stracciatella, or green beans swimming in funky tonnato. And while vegetables could carry the meal alone, the roast chicken platter with briny coleslaw and thick-cut fries makes a worthy finale." - Erin Hershberg
