GASTROPOD


So last night, Jason & Saisha, Todd & Ali and Michelle & myself went for dinner at GASTROPOD. According to the website: Gastropod is a restaurant featuring modern European cuisine in a chic and inviting setting. The philosophy of the cooking emphasizes balance and innovation. The ingredients are prepared using the most contemporary techniques, while expressing an affiliation to traditional haute cuisine cooking. Each dish is a creation of Chef Angus An and reflects his desire to present flavours and textures in newly delectable ways.

Although the portions seemed small, the food was fantastic and we all left feeling satisfied! All six of us tried the taster menu (One appetizer, one main and one dessert for one fixed price) and tried a multitude of different items (Venison Tartar, Cumcumber Salad, Oysters, Lamb, Chicken & Salmon), all of which were unique and tasty. The prices are a bit steep but their ingenious cocktails and original food make a visit to Gastropod worth while for any special occasion.

Gastropod = Thumbs up!

Look at your hands in the pic, Gio. Are you helping the photographer take the picture?
