Fodor's Review:

It's a pretty place with scarlet walls and black-and-white pictures, but people don't come to Chef Marc de Canck's little 36-seat restaurant for the ambience or for the crowd; they come, quite simply, for the food. Without fuss or fanfare, De Canck has been cranking out the city's most adventurous dishes ever since he opened in 1995. The man doesn't seem capable of compromise or playing safe. His work seamlessly blends lightened French fare with Japanese, Chinese, and Creole touches. Starters like sashimi salmon rubbed with coarsely ground pepper, coriander, and mustard seed might precede veal sweetbreads with chorizo or panfried mahimahi with thin slices of eggplant filled with goat cheese. Weekend dinners are prix-fixe only—four courses are C$68, and six courses are C$95.

Keep in mind: Reservations essential.
