C5, Downtown

On a return visit to C5 we were still impressed by the food. The charcuterie plate was exquisite with Berkshire pork pate, house cure trout and foie gras 'bon-bon' were amazing. The Escolar Tataki was a little bland but the Vindaloo Scented Lamb Loin and Seared Black Cod more than made up for it. The open space and Crystal-like atmosphere added to the atmosphere. I still find the space little too cole and impersonal for my taste but if you are with the right company then a warm and exiting evening with a wonderful McLaren Vale Kangarilla wine will more then make up for it. I would still highly recommend you try C5. Listed as James Chatto's #4 on his Top 10 in April 2008 Toronto Life I would have to list it as #2.
