Michelin doesn’t disappoint. DaNico would be my top recommendation if anyone would like to try modern Italian in Toronto. A good contrast between textures and flavors. E.g., crunchy pine nuts against tender raw tuna; sour enoki against vermouth sauce. The execution of the cod and beef preserved the tenderness to perfection, thereby highlighting the quality of the ingredients. Service was outstanding too. The staff was both knowledgeable and personable.

It was great having Chef Bennet come out and introduce us to a dish. U can feel that the tasting menu is coming from Chef Bennett's Root (South Africa). The menu was very earthy and exciting from dish to dish. The Juice pairing that was offered was great as well.
