Petrus by Marcus Wareing is now open

We went to Perigee in Toronto a few years back. Four of us had the 7 course tasting menu - every single dish was different. In fact, I think other tables were having different dishes to us, as well.

What made it an endurance event rather than a good evening out, was the staff having to explain every single dish AND all the matching wines.

E.g. "Seared Langoustine topped with wild boar bacon over roasted blue foot chanterelle mushrooms with butter poached asparagus, rhubarb purée and tatsoi greens tossed with preserved Meyer lemon"

Times four.

For some courses the various explanations took longer than the eating. By about the fifth course we just wanted to be left alone!

It was Alan working the pass and the plates our night at Petrus. Very talented.
