What an amazing dining experience. This new Buvette at the Rouge Tomate (open Thursday thru Saturday nights) was a culinary delight. The cocktails were creative, the wine list was top notch, and the service was personable and professional. I was expecting typical French brassiere dishes but this far exceeded my expectations. We tried 7 plates from the menu and all of them were hits. Creative, fresh, beautifully plated and cooked to perfection.
We tried the broccolini with tahini - absolutely delicious; the oysters with a clementine coulis were fresh,the mushroom dish sooo good. The beef tartare was a surprise - very creative, beautifully plated and a delicious mix of flavour and texture. The butternut squash was done up zoodle-style with black truffle, parmesan & brown butter - really good; the Octopus with cucumber, fennel, hibiscus and pine nuts - cooked perfectly and a great combination of flavours; The cavatellis in a garlic and pecorino cream sauce with honeyed brussel sprouts were my favourite. Finished off with a delicious oversized, halved, semi-soft chocolate chip cookie with fresh raspberry sorbet and chocolate/pistachio ganache. The coffee is amazing too. I had a cappuccino that was so good, I ordered a second one. The atmosphere is trendy bistro, about 25-35 seats with good background music. Young, hip, & polished. The place was full but the noise level didn’t impede conversation at our table. I will absolutely be returning for another visit. Hats off to Juliet and her amazing team.
