ciao! reviews Asian Fusion Cuisine For a happy ending, semifreddo is a sure bet. A log of house-made peanut butter ice cream sits along decadent chocolate cake and fudgy chocolate ganache. Thick caramel flecked with sea salt and peanuts smothers the dessert, mirroring the night itself: rich and indulgent but never pretentious. deer + almond is open for lunch Mon-Fri 11 am-2 pm and for dinner Mon-Sat 5 pm-11 pm. Chef Chris Taing creativity merges fl avours and textures, and wins rave reviews consistently! A must-try! THE GATES ON ROBLIN Neighbourhood . . . . .

Near a quarter of a century later, The Gates on Roblin continues to be a vision of classic fine dining, capturing a time when gentlemen and ladies luxuriated in an evening of flowing drinks and well-made food. Within this colonial-style manor, recognizable for decades by its white façade and green shutters, a maze of rooms are dressed for special occa- sions. Pristine white tablecloths drape every table and napkins, per- fectly folded, rest in sparkling wine glasses. Classical music tinkles in the background as faint laughter from out-of-sight diners carries through- out the house. Exquisite starters, like scallops, escargot, prawns and brie, are a lavish beginning to any important dinner or celebration. A creamy round of brie is baked until bubbly, then topped with a pile of nutty kale pesto and crisp slices of apple. Smear a wedge of cheese onto toasted baguette drizzled with sweet balsamic vinegar for a mixture of sweet and salty.
