PASTORAL IDEA

August 23, 2008

The image of a rooster evokes many thingsa nostalgia for a country
kitchen being one.

So it makes perfect sense that Table 17 owners Erik Joyal, John Sinopoli
(Izakaya) and John Dawson chose the feathered barnyard bird as the
symbol for their cozy new Leslieville haunt, Table.

With dishes such as family style polenta ($12) served on a wooden board
with a sugo of tomato-pea ragout, homemade tagliatelle, ($16) and steak
with matchstick frites ($19) on the menu, you cant help but feel that
Nonna and Mémé are running the kitchen.

The décor is farmhouse chic with a large butchers block covered in piles
of fresh bread anchoring the room. Service is warm (Prosecco arrived as
a gesture for a tardy table) and the wine list short and sweet.

Cock-a doodle-doo.

Table 17, 782 Queen St. E., Toronto, 416-800-2562.
