Truffle Tasting Menus in TO

[WYF]

Since it is truffle season right now, does anyone have suggestions as to which restaurants have truffle tasting menus? I've heard that Lai Wah Heen and Mistura do but I haven't heard the cost or gotten a chance to see the menus.

[Nick Soapdish]

I don't know about lai wah heen, but mistura's truffle menu is very good. if they're doing it this year it should be coming up soon

I haven't been, but I know that Coppi Ristorante on Yonge St. has an annual truffle menu.

[estufarian]

I heard a rumour that Coppi's truffles were 'confiscated' this year. Apparently too much earth on the truffles.

[Muskoka kid]

A couple of weeks ago, Amy Pataki reviewed Coppi's truffle menu and it wasn't good. (sorry can't find the link at the Star) She actually preferred the menu without the truffles. Guess it's a good thing they were confiscated.

[sadistick]

I have never been a fan of Coppi. I have a feeling Romania Mia may have a good selection of items with truffles.

Had truffle tasting menu at Lai Toh Heen.

Tastes get redundant after awhile.. using similar sauces for various dishes.

The dessert is very good though - A butter squash steamed bun with truffle honey.

Cost is $128 for 2 (6 courses)
