Were all for plaid, maple syrup and denim formalwear.
But every now and then its nice to encounter Canadiana thats a
little more classy than kitschy. Like the just-opened Oakwood
Canadian Bistro. The Fourth Avenue haunt is home to polite people,
chic surroundings and house made food crafted from seasonal, locally
sourced ingredients. We started with the tomato coconut mussels ($15),
chowed down on the cast iron Cornish hen with cauliflower puree ($19),
and doubled up on dessert (we shared, we swear)the baked apple dumpling
($6) and raspberry panna cotta ($5). We finished it off with a Caesar
($8). Nope, not a bloody Mary, a Caesar.
Pretty tasty, eh? Kelsey Dundon
