FK - Toronto, Ontario

This Michelin-rated restaurant offers intricately prepared dishes with remarkable attention invested into every detail from seasoning to plating. The exterior of this location is rather unassuming, but the interior demonstrates plenty of care and design. The restaurant is quite small but the tables are well placed and diners are not ... packed cheek to jowl. The freshly baked bread that evening was packed full of subtle flavours. The cocktails were well mixed and tasted as wonderful as they looked. The stuffed zucchini flowers appetizer was well made and delicious. On the other hand, the lobster and prawn ceviche was a little underwhelming considering the quality of the rest of the dishes. Instead of calling it ceviche, they should have simply named the dish seafood appetizer because it was far removed from both the taste and texture of traditional ceviche. We had grilled lamb chops as well as veal as our mains. Both were cooked to perfection. As sides we ordered morel mushrooms and onion rings, and they were phenomenal. I wish the mushrooms were prepared without the heavy sauce to allow the true flavour of the fungi to shine on its own. Desserts of lemon and peach sorbets were outstanding! However, the macchiato was below expectations - it was sour and didn't taste fresh. Overall, it was definitely a 5-star experience! Read more

Absolutely delighted with our experience here! The Foie Gras boasted intricate flavors that danced on the palate, while the Ravioli and steak were not only fragrant but also burst with deliciousness with great sauces. And the desserts rounded off our meal perfectly. We would love to come here again and ... try more things differently Read more

It takes a lot for a restaurant to make my list of top five and so it speaks volumes that FK ranks amongst my all time favorite restaurants, not just in the city, but of all time. I think if I had to capture the essence of what makes this restaurant ... feel so special and memorable it's because it truly feels like they've achieved the perfect balance in every aspect of the dining experience: it's fine dining and impeccable presentation, but it's not stuffy or pretentious. The staff are warm, relaxed and friendly, while still providing world class customer service. The food is flavorful, bold and innovative, while still offering flavors and taste profiles that are familiar, comforting, and nostalgic. I feel like they genuinely care about your experience and about exhibiting incredible hospitality and showcase this through every detail - be it the house made crusty bread and red pepper spread that you're welcomed with, the complimentary hand crafted chocolates you're presented with at the end of the meal, or the time and attention taken to walk you through the menu and curate your dining experience, it's truly something so special. While on the topic of their menu, FK offers an ever changing selection of contemporary European cuisine with inspiration from modern Canadiana. They put a huge emphasis on made in-house and sourcing seasonal ingredients that are local to the area. OUR ORDER • SABLEFISH — Miso butter, sautéed spinach, braised fennel • 10 oz DRY AGED PRIME STRIPLOIN — Mixed mushrooms, shallot jus • NOVA SCOTIA SCALLOP — Freshly shucked scallops, citrus rhubarb mignonette • OXTAIL TORTELLINI — Chanterelle fricassee • GEM LETTUCE — Crispy bacon, sourgough crouton, parmesan anchovy vinaigrette • SHRIMP & LOBSTER CEVICHE — Pico de gallo, pasilla purée • ROSEMARY FRITES • HOUSEMADE FOCACCIA — with red pepper spread Every single dish was masterfully executed, inventive, and visually stunning! The plates were incredibly refined and had a flavor profile that was elevated and so well balanced. I can recommend this restaurant enough for a romantic night out as a couple, or a special meal with friends or family. Read more

There is a meticulous artistry to FK's offering, both in taste and presentation. The onion soup was a visual delight, nestled in a whimsical bird's nest. The oxtail tortellini and sablefish both had flavourful hits with each bite. The kobe short rib might be one of the best melt-in-your-mouth meat dishes ... in the city. The goat's milk cheesecake was elevated without losing the simple indulgence of a cheesecake. And the passion fruit parfait was all delicate dollops and dome. But the thing that impresses me most about this place is that all this Michelin worthy dishes are served with a charming warmth that you don't always find at fancy places. It's like you've been invited to the home of one of the city's best chefs, and are enjoying a casual dinner with friends. And it's what makes FK a place to go back to again and again. Read more
