    Mar 22, 2025 - Jun 20, 2025
    We are proud to introduce Green—our newest tasting menu. This menu is a celebration of renewal, capturing the energy of Spring as it awakens with new life. A menu inspired by the season’s vibrancy through a singular lens: the colour that defines life itself. Ingredients at their peak—fresh from the soil, the forest, and the ocean—bring bright, fresh to the table. Each dish reflects this moment of growth and abundance, shaping a menu that feels vibrant, alive, and deeply connected to its origins. As you move through the menu, you’ll experience a progression of flavors that highlight the ingredients we love most this time of year. Each course is a reflection of how these elements come together—connected by the landscapes they come from and the season that brings them to life.

    Outstanding experience! Friendly professional and knowledgeable staff from the moment we walked in with attention to every detail for the evening. Our server Jamie was super fun with a great sense of humour. She helped us select an incredible combination of dishes that were exceptional! My husband is a very good cook so we are not strangers to great food but this was over the top. We licked out plates! Amazing chef and team and a wonderful evening! Thankyou to the Published team.

    The dish is small, and the taste could be improved. The service is not so good; the waitress is very rushed to get the meals on the table and clean up for the next round of guests. Will not come again.

    Essentially a flawless dining experience. The Wine list was curated superbly, and every staff member was extremely knowledgeable and friendly from the beginning of the meal to the end. If I had to split hairs, I would say that I was a little uncomfortable ordering all of my courses at the beginning of the meal, not knowing how big the plates were, but the server adjusted to accommodate us. I also noticed that around 9:15 PM. The staff started breaking down a lot of the set tables (on a Friday) which also seemed a little inconsistent with the quality of the experience. We would absolutely return and dine again. Congratulations Chef to you and your team.

    Perhaps one of the best meals I've ever had, let alone in the city. Tremendous.

    I think it is not hyperbole to say this was the best meal we've ever had--and we are bigtime foodies! Flavors, freshness, range, prep, presentation. They subbed and gave us a pescatarian tasting menu at our request, and included a few little extras. The only thing that would have made it better would be a long walk between courses 8 and 11!

    The tasting menu we had was expertly executed and the progression from the amuse Bouche to the dessert was perfect. All the dishes flavours and compositions were spot on. This restaurant should be on everyone’s bucket list.
