Sassafraz Restaurant

100 Cumberland Street, Toronto, ON, M5R1A6

$25 Lunch (Winterlicious)

Corn Potage with Adobe Cream



Comments:
-this is your typical corn soup with a splotch of spice (similar to Chipotle in flavor), it was ok, nothing special

Mushroom and Brie Crepe with Herb Salad


Comments:
-what a let down, there was barely any mushroom within this crepe and a cheese like substance that could have been Cheese Whiz for all I know, enough said

Bouillabaisse with Mussels, Clams, Shrimp and Turbot in a Tomato Saffron Broth



Comments:
-There was a good amount of assorted seafood on the plate and they even de-bearded the mussels!
-Only downfall was that the broth was rather salty (worse than canned soup in terms of saltiness)

Boneless Canadian Beef Shortribs with Corn and Potato Hash, Sauce Bourguignon


Comments:
-The beef was tender but a tad bit drier than I would have liked

Chocolate and Caramel Tart with Gianduja Mousse and Blood Orange Coulis




Comments:
-there was a bitter flavor with the caramel, not sure if this was the intended taste or whether the caramel was burnt, I didn't enjoy it

Warm Toffee Pudding with Brandy Chantilly Cream and Vanilla Custard Sauce


Comments:
-the pudding was very moist and fluffy and rich in flavor
-oddly the Brandy Chantilly cream had a hint of banana flavor which went well
-overall, this dessert was a good way to finish the meal
