Type of Meal: Brunch
During the
early days of summer, when the sun is shining but the temperature not stifling,
eating on a patio is such a delight. The hemlines get shorter and smiling people
are abound sipping cold drinks.
Weekends are a great time to visit One Restaurant as they serve a brunch menu
but still offer lunch time favourites. Wanting something substantial I ordered
the organic chicken burger ($24). The patty is made from ground chicken mixed
with herbs (perhaps parsley) and had a nice crust with a juicy centre. Topped
with melted gruyere, a mild pickle, dill aioli, lettuce and tomato it had
enough flavour without being overpowering so the chicken tastes were still prevalent.
The bun was a pillowy brioche with crunchy sea salt on top.
Served with a
choice of salad or fries, I always opt for their fries which are piping hot
with a rich potato flavour and crispy crust. I prefer the truffle or citrus aioli
(generally served if you order these separately as a side dish). With the
burger there is a dill aioli instead which was decent but not nearly as
flavourful as the others.
Toronto
summers are short so get out and enjoy it! One Restaurant is blessed with a
great Yorkville location and getting a table outside on the large wraparound
patio is even better. It’s the perfect place to people watch with the hedges
still high enough to provide a sense of privacy. Just reserve or arrive early
as there are many like-minded individuals making the patio tables prime real
estate.
