Cru Review

"Small plates and big glasses" is the motto at this stylish tapas- and wine-focused restaurant, with romantic low lighting. More than 35 wines by the glass (plus more by the bottle) complement the inventive designed-to-share dishes. There's a wonderfully crispy duck confit served with späetzle goat-cheese hash and a warm bacon dressing, hearty wine-braised short ribs matched with macaroni-and-cheese, and an assortment of cheeses from B.C., Québec, and beyond. Save room for dessert, perhaps the chocolate truffle with peanut butter-mascarpone mousse, or the goat-cheese cake with stewed fruits.

    My experience was very positive. I dined with my girlfriend who has some food allergies and preferences (no meat or shellfish). All of the staff showed finesse, professional knowledge and a warm, friendly approach. The small plates are fun and different and packed with flavour. The 3-course menu is a steal at $38. per person (The main courses range from $22-$31, so with an appie and dessert, you're getting a good deal) We were treated well, as was everyone around us, all in all a wonderful experience, we will return soon.
