Amuse Bouche, Toronto: Birthday Dinner,

Went to Amuse Bouche for my birthday dinner.  it's very nice, modern food, quite nicely done.

This was the Ontario Texel lamb: a chop and an open-faced merguez burger and a Niagara gamay jus.

There, you can see the little burger under the chop.

Nice little terrace for a warm evening. The restaurant is pricey. tasty; good service - I would go again.

La Chalota

My birthday lunch was a place I had heard about in Las Rozas.  I like modern styled food and this is the closest, nicest, designer food around here so it seemed worth a shot.  It was.  Excellent presentation, decent eats, reasonable price.
