The hubby and I had another date night a few weeks ago and we decided to try DT Bistro on Harbord Street. What a treat. It was modern and sophisticated yet still maintained a laid back atmosphere. We sat in a quaint area too narrow for strollers or high chairs. The prix fixe is a great deal at $25 for three courses including coffee or tea but if you order a la carte, you will still find good value. Our crab cake salad starter was a beautiful stacked affair, and though tasty, the crab itself left something to be desired. We also had a mushroom tart which was a surprisingly delicious array of saucy, sauteed mushrooms in a pastry shell topped off with greens. Our mains were heavy for the season, lamb shank and braised beef, but perfect for those with larger appetites. Rich and toothsome, both meats were tender and full of flavour from the reduced vegetables which disappeared as a result of the braising. The real treat however, are the desserts. Upon arrival, you are greeted with the sight of a refrigerated case full of their signature desserts. Like a jewelery display, each dessert was a delicate sight to behold. We chose a passion fruit parfait held in an edible white chocolate sphere. Tart and sweet.
I recommend this place for date nights, coffee dates, or just desserts.
