FRESH

Saturday brunch with friends, sunny day, a patio and a Vegan spot. The menu is quiet interesting with a large selection of salad, wrap, burger and bowl. We had the Pancake Platter with a side of sweet potatoes fries and the Buddha Bowl.

PANCAKE PLATTER: Two Pancakes, scrambled tofu
and your choice of grilled vegan sausage or
tempeh bacon

BUDDHA BOWL: Thai Peanut Sauce with Marinated
Tofu Cubes, Tomato, Cilantro, Cucumber, Bean Sprout,
Chopped Peanut, herbs & Spices. Choice of Rice or Noodle

Experience: $ 75,00

• 3 Pancake Platter
• Buddha Bowl
• Sweet potatoes fries
• Water

I absolutely loved my bowl, tasty, crunchy and big! I am not a big fun of pancake, but it looked very good as the sausage, all the comments were positive, the scrambled tofu? delicious. I can't wait to try another vegan restaurant.

NOTA BENE

First month in Toronto and we are celebrating at Nota Bene, one of the best new restaurant in town in the past years. You can tell when a restaurant has an Italian influence when you find oil instead of butter, that's for me it's heaven, even better if the bread has a wood oven taste. We tried the signature dish Crisp Duck Salad: Sumac-dusted Green papaya, Slaw, Cashews and I had the Octopus with Spanish Chorizo, we followed with the Jennifer Stilton's Beef Brisket Burger and the Beef Tenderloin and finished with Sticky Toffee Pudding and Apple Tarte Tatin.

 

OCTOPUS WITH SPANISH CHORIZO:
 Baby Cucumber, Sun dried Tomatoes

JENNIFER STILTON'S BRISKET BURGER:
Pommes Frittes (NB Signature Dish)



APPLE TARTE TATIN: Vanilla Ice Cream

STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING: Pecan Praline,
Spotted Dick Ice Cream



 

 

 



Experience: $157,00

• Crisp Duck Salad
• Octopus with Spanish Chorizo
• Brisket Beef Burger
• Beef Tenderloin
• Apple Tarte Tatin
• Sticky Toffee Pudding
• 1 bottle of water
• 1 glass of Verdicchio

The Duck salad was very nice, as it was the Octopus even if I just got 6 thin slices of it. The Burger was supposed to be the signature dish, it was a good burger but not a great one. The dessert was probably the best part of the meal, the Tarte Tatin super sweet but very good. On the bad note, we had a glass of Riesling that wasn't very good but our server was nice enough not to charge us for it.
