On a busy strip of Queen Street East, in Riverside, ēst feels like an oasis. Bathed in white, with sleek and intimate wood tables, this quaint, French-Italian-inspired restaurant is one of the most romantic restaurants in Toronto. Whether you're visiting for first-date wine and cocktails, or going all-out for an anniversary dinner, ēst is poised to delight on your big night out.
Culinary magic happens on each perfectly presented plate prepared in the kitchen. Chef-owner Jordan Diniz's menu swaps frills for elevated, locally sourced, high-quality ingredients that reflect the changing seasons. Familiar, indulgent favourites are the star here; Québec foie gras gets trussed up with balsamic and dark chocolate, and is served with sourdough; picture-perfect burrata is topped with Ossetra caviar and drizzled with olive oil and Rosewood Estates winery honey.
Diniz boasts a prestigious resumé, with experience in Michelin-starred restaurants in Italy, and he's a graduate of George Brown College's Italian Culinary Arts program to boot. His expansive know-how and penchant for decadence makes every plate something to savour. You can't go wrong with ēst's à la carte options, but Diniz's tasting menu is a four-course tour de force that might be your favourite dining experience of the year.
We're giving one lucky entrant a lights-out tasting experience for two, worth $220, at ēst restaurant. You'll embark on a flavour journey, with knockout mains like a 12-hour braised beef short rib, and a charred octopus with yuzu caviar. Plus, enjoy a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine with your meal.
