CÉPAGE

Cépage has been one of those restaurants that I have wanted to try for a while. You can't miss it! Its contemporary exterior design is eye catching & most definitely worth a try. The dinner tasting menu's range from $890- $1320, so make sure you gather the right crowd before going! Fortunately, their lunch set menu's are much more affordable (approximately $350-$400/person) & still just as yummy!

4 course tasting menu included: Figs Wrapped With Jamon Iberico . Deep Fried Quail Egg With Green Asparagus Puree . Veal Carpaccio . Boston Lobster With Japanese Sweet Corn . Duck With Vegetables & Dessert .



Everything was absolutely delicious! I would not be able to choose a favorite dish, but my least favorite BY FAR was the dessert ( now that i think about it, i don't remember what it was even after looking back at my photographs). The figs were a great way to begin our meal, the sweetness along with the salty from the Jamon Iberico got my pallet going. The quail egg was crunchy on the outside but tender & soft on the inside. The veal, lobster & duck were all amazing - cooked to perfection! Even the olive bread was great & their selection of chocolates at the end - oh so good (remember to try the black sesame one).

I have absolutely no complaints about the food but the service could have been better. They are slightly strict about their dress code (even for lunch), so make sure you go dressed appropriately & be prepared for impatient waitresses (perhaps we were just unlucky). The atmosphere can seem a bit pretentious & uptight, but if you go with a fun group of friends, you will sure be leaving with a smile on your face!
