Best Seasonal Restaurants in Cabbagetown

I can with my husband and instead of ordering g off the menu we decided to do a tasting menu, chef select from choices off the menu. We started with the crisp (salmon, white finish and tune), a bit of caviar with house hash browns, and the shrimp cocktail. The dishes were amazing! I’m house cocktail sauce had such a great zing to the horseradish. The second course was lobster pasta and the pork belly - the fat just melted in your mouth and surprisingly hoisin matched well with the creamy lobster pasta. We finished with prime rib, palace potatoes (28 layers with duck fat I’m between), and the savoy. We were so full we only ate half of this to save some room for dessert. The cake was Salted dark chocolate cake… a great combo of salty, sweet and darkness from the chocolate. Jane the wine director was amazing and we got a bottle of the 2019 domaine Huer pétillant to go with the meal… it was such a great pairing for the entire dinner! We would definitely go back. Food was o tasty I forgot to take pictures. Our waiter was super friendly!

When we arrived (for a birthday) we were originally sat at the lounge side which was a bit frustrating since I had made the reso weeks in advance. After asking the waitress to be moved to the dining side of the restaurant the entire night went off without a hitch. They quickly found us a better table and service was amazing. Quick, friendly and polite. There is a coat check service which is very handy in the winter season and the managerial staff are extraordinary, popping in to each table to see how things are going. Food and drinks were also amazing and the ambience had a great vibe without being too loud. Really enjoyed our evening at Daphne and we will be back. The service alone makes it a must visit for a luxury dining experience.

5/5 Service, amazing food, excellent cocktails, great sommelier, and beautiful restaurant. No complaints everything was perfect from the moment i walked in

Amazing night. Very attentive staff. Our meals were very delicious from appetizer to desserts. Nice wine list. Excellent night time view. Highly recommend Canoe for special occasions and business celebrations.

My starter was crispy fried buratta with an eggplant capanatta (and chorizo jam, which I didn't have because I'm vegetarian so they brought me tomato jam). The house made Gnocchi in Chevre Sauce, wilted spinach, moon dried tomatoes, leeks, and cacio e pepe butter, finished with toasted chevre was out of this world! My Italian friend said the gnocchi was like his mom made, he hadn't had it this good since she passed away. Excellent cocktails - very chic - and a superb wine list, warm, friendly service. To finish I had an espresso and a spoonful of my friends tiramisu. Every sip and bite was perfect from start to finish. I can't recommend this hidden gem enough!
