He was at the helm of Lumière and is currently a judges darling on Top
Chef Canada. So when we heard Chef Dale McKay was opening his own
place, we just couldnt wait to get in!
Ensemble’s
lively bistro-style room is ideal for casual gatherings and its shared
plates concept makes it easy to sample as many dishes as possible. It
would have been a crime not to order the Dungeness Crab Spiced Melon
Soup ($9), a dish that dazzled the Top Chef Canada judges.
Other triumphant dishes included the Herb Risotto ($9), a rich and
flavourful little serving, the buttery Beef Shin with fries ($12), and
the Pulled Pork sandwich ($8.50) that was a divine companion to a glass
of Cabernet Sauvignon.
So thats what being a Top Chef means. AG
