text: Wow nnMy boyfriend and I dined at Le Mitoyen last night and it was some of the best food we have ever had Executive chef Richard Bastien is a genius The flavour combinations were out of this world and the depth was incredible nnLe Mitoyen is a converted house built in There are several separate dining areas a nice fireplace artwork on the walls candles at each table and soft music in the background Service was excellent each course was presented with a description of the ingredientsnnFor Valentines day weekend a prix fixe course menu was offered each or each with wine pairings with a choice of one of mainsnnWe started with a glass of champagne and the salmon cooked sous vide basically vacuum sealed and cooked in an immersion circulator I believe Is was served on a rectangle of watermelon with citrus The marinade was vodkabased SO GOOD The texture of the salmon was amazing and nicely complimented the crispness of the watermelon nnWe then had a lobster tail with a mango sauce microgreens and tiny cucumber balls There was a taste we could not quite place and then realized it was vanilla we think Whoa Vanilla lobster Who would have thought Delicious nnNext was a white polenta atop moist guinea foul with a rich guinea foul gravy It was garnished with fried grains rice and quinoa that turned into a rice krispy texture Again awesome nnWe had the foie gras served with a winterroot puree carrots and a roast potato and spicy microgreens I am not a foie gras fan but my boyfriend love it The puree was delicious not included in the prix fixe menu an extra nnAfter that we had a delicious bouillon with finely diced carrots and something with a bit of kick could not quite place it It is served spoonless and meant to be sipped nnFor the main course I had the pigeonneau yup domestic pigeon I am living on the wild side P with wild mushroom risotto and what I believe was a kind of liver mousse The sauce was flavourfulrich and delicious and the risotto was earthy and creamy The pigeonneau was delicious and tender My boyfriend had the lamb and it was amazing So tender and moist nnWe finished with coffee and desserts We had an amazing profiterole filled with ricotta and tonka beans and served with lemon curd We also had a strawberry soup with basil ice cream Oh My Yum Honestly Holy Food nnAt the end of our meal we noticed we had missed a course a cheese based dish Our waitress was apologetic and since we did not want it after our dessert we were credited the cost of a glass of champagne We were a pretty disappointed to have missed it since it likely would have been amazing like everything else A bit of a miss given the calibre of the restaurant But cest la vie nnThe service efficient and friendly allowing enough distance for a romantic evening but always close enough should anything be needednnHighly recommend It is definitely pricey but you are looking for a splurge this is the spot
