Located on Adelaide Street in Toronto, Red's Bistro and Bar is a dream come true for gourmets and wine lovers alike. The chic elegance of the ambience combines with an award winning cuisine and an eclectic collection of fine wines from around the world to create a complete experience in haute dining.
The restaurant comprises of two themed tiers or levels, of which the bistro and wine bar on the main level is perfect for a causal lunch or a pre-concert drink. The upper level is the fine-dining restaurant where patrons can dine on an array of sumptuous appetizers, entrees and sinful desserts. The most outstanding aspect of the menu is that it is centered on the cuisines of the world's most outstanding wine regions... in a way, the food is selected to complement the wine! The menu also suggests wine parings to enhance your dining experience and the chef's insistence on freshest ingredients of the finest quality have resulted in the restaurant overhauling its menu from time to time in tune with seasonal changes. Lunch begins with starters like the crisp organic greens tossed in a shallot-vinaigrette and moves on to entrees like the outstanding Jalapeno marinated cuttlefish which is served with smoked tortillas. Dinner is an even more exotic blend of tastes and you can start at the soothing Northern Woods Mushroom soup and then progress to the five cup duck and soy stained foie gras terrine which is accompanied by a superb mandarin orange jam and ginger spiced biroche, which comes highly recommended. For the perfect finale, try the delicately flavored Ontario Strawberry Shortcake, or simply let go and try the dark chocolate mousse, scattered over with toasted almond praline and topped with a sour cherry preserve.
You can even try the pre-fixe menus for lunch and dinner and choose from an option of two varieties. Vegetarians have plenty to choose from as almost all the dishes on the menu have vegetarian alternatives or substitutes. The marble topped bar offers wine aficionados a choice of over 50 varieties by the glass besides a host of interesting cocktails. You can also host your private party or celebration at Red's, and have the staff design you a custom menu or opt for their pre-determined selections.
