Enhanced with shiitake powder and white wine, it's garnished with a top-notch tapenade and generous curls of Reggiano. While both dishes could use a good dose of salt, we can find little fault. At the base of the layered presentation is a generous wad of wilted baby spinach resting on a sensuous coconut-saffron sauce. The juxtaposition of textures, the luscious flaky fish and the sweet hint of coconut and salty roe are pure enjoyment. The elegantly turned shapes of carrots and zucchini along with slender asparagus augment a traditional veggie medley.
Desserts are also a highlight, with some minor cause for hesitation.
We're not overstating our claim when we say we left this place in utter awe. The menu may not overly inspire, but a taste-test quickly reveals Curiosity's kitchen is comparable to some of Toronto's culinary greats. Believe us when we say Curiosity didn't kill us cats, it won us over.
