Toronto - Saturday Night in the City



Summerlicious ended last night, unfortunately. It is a great way to try different restaurants. We went last night to Fuzion on Church St.
Originally, the 120 year-old Victorian house was home to department store founder Robert Simpson. Sadly that  department store is long gone.


Maybe it's age but it was so dark in there we could barely read the menu!

There were 3 selections in each category and I have removed the items that were not selected by any of our party.
I don't have any photos as I didn't want to turn on the flash on my blackberry in these surroundings.

$35 Dinner- plus taxes and gratuity

Organic Arugula and Radicchio Salad, Roasted Acorn Squash, Mushrooms and Candied Pistachio, Warm Pancetta – Pomegranate Dressing

or

Spiced – grilled Calamari with Tuna Carpaccio and a Green Vegetable Agrodolce, Sweet Pepper – Chili Vinaigrette

Mains
Lavender and Honey Glazed Cornish Game Hen, Crispy Chevre Corn Fritter, Collard Greens, Peaches and Cream Corn, Cashew Butter - my sister had this and it was extremely good.

or

Duo of Wild Boar Tenderloin and Braised Shank, Sun Choke Chips, Ragout of Broccoli – Artichoke, topped with Apple Gremolata - DH really enjoyed this.

or

Crisped Potato – Wrapped Lemon Sole, Braised Endive – Leek “Coins”, Crab and Celery Slaw, Sweet Pepper Puree - my selection, good but not fantastic.

My BIL didn't order from the set menu but chose instead the Artic char which he enjoyed very much.
