1320 queen west

This first summer Monday turned out to be a good occasion to revisit the Western side of TO town. So, we ended up back in the only place that reminds me of the vibrant culinary Aussie scene.



We started with delicious crunchy soggy calamari, probably the most surprising of all the dishes to land on our table.



Spicy shrimps balanced the previous sweetness, even if a moderate one, in a very sharp way.



Corn and chicken somehow seem to easily go together, but I had never tried them as "popcorn chicken"; brilliant idea.



A quite original beef tartare to roll inside sea weed leafs was our meatiest selection of the day. I certainly could have eaten more of it.



Chilled almond tofu with tapioca, rhubarb and osmanthus, a flower (Oleaceae family) growing in small panicles with a noticeable fragrance. A nice and smooth textural combination.



It was the right evening to follow our Darlinghurst tradition, and with no Messina around here, we showed up at Ed's just a few minutes before ten. My cassis yogourt with honey ginger ice cream worked extremely well while watching a rather spectacular orangey moon.
