Colborne Lane, Downtown

I have always been a fan of Claudio Aprile. Of Sense's fame, Chef April open Colborne Lane in 2007 and it is amazing. Classified as Toronto's molecular maestro, he earns the title. Although you may not be fan of the tasting menu it is a must here. I can't even begin to describe the flavour and presentation. We enjoyed a miso-flavoured tune tartare in a cube of perfectly formed iced. Corn doused in liquid nitrogen to make the perfect sweet corn soup and a Hibiscus and salt-cured foie gras that is to die for. Claudio Aprile is recognized as one of Canada's best Chef's and rightly so. I would try for the Chef's table located right by the kitchen for a true picture of life at Colborne Lane. It was ranked at James Chatto's #2 choice in April 2008 Toronto Life but I would definitely say it's #1.
