hottest restaurant in Toronto right now is

Woodlot, and we went for dinner this past Sunday... Their mini website only lists their location, hours, and phone number... but trust me it's so worth a visit...

They present you with two menus, one carnivore, and the other one a vegetarian with plenty of options for vegans :)

cocktails to start... I know you might be thinking a cocktail in a mug.. well yup... I had Żubrówka vodka with hot apple cider, delish... I couldn't really taste the alcohol, but it made me feel so warm the minute I took a sip. Jay had Jamieson's Whiskey  with home made orange bitters... it tasted like medicine :)

bread basket... we were so hungry... and it was so tasty...

I also ordered a bottle of red...

for an app Jay had a bowl of super cheesy gnocchi with sausage in a creamy tomato sauce... he was so busy enjoying it, he barely said a word to me...

I was fine with his silence because I couldn't get over my potato and charred leek salad in sherry vinaigrette... OMG!

Mains:
marrow mashed potatoes... for Jay of course

along with "...the best pork chop I've ever had" said Jay with caramelized apples, bacon, and black walnuts...

for me vegan cabbage rolls...

I had to use flash... can you taste it? :)

downstairs kitchen and a communal table... dinning room is upstairs... this is a shot of my view... the big dark square on the left is the entrance, protected from the cold... and you can see the wood-fired oven that produces many of the amazing dishes...

the view from Jay's side... yup, that's the whole efficient kitchen...

for dessert I kept sipping on our red... Jay enjoyed a cappuccino...

and a lemon tart with blueberry sauce, and a marshmallow top...

another use of flash to capture the deliciousness

I visited the ladies room on our way out... isn't that the cutest and smallest sink ever?

 

Woodlot was amazing... anyone want to join us for our next visit? :)
