It’s always exciting to see great new places pop up, and this superb new place for 2016 fits the bill. Created by the bright spark that is chef Stelio Perombelon (formerly of Les Cons Servent, Goats, Pullman, Leméac), the wine here takes centre stage alongside creative, airy and inspired food that allows for an assured harmony of dishes and wines.
This visually stunning wine bar is the most recent addition to Laurier Avenue’s restaurant row. The modern design is accentuated by a wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling custom wine cellar and a beautiful wine tasting room in the basement. Add to that seasoned chef Stelio Perombelon’s seasonal creations – think wild Pacific halibut, organic sturgeon, milk-fed piglet – and you’re covered for wine hour.
