Last Monday we returned to old favourite Richmond Station, along with a new-ish friend permutation: Laura from Chez Nous and Ricky + Olivia from…well, Ricky + Olivia. After a quick drink + Cosmo cuddle at Laura’s we walked over to Richmond Station and took our table. As usual, everything was excellent, and as five reasonably adventurous eaters we could cover a lot of ground:

• Appetizers/shares
  • Cookstown beet salad w/ honeycrisp apple, crossroad farms sheep’s gouda, hazelnut cream
  • Penokean Hills beef tartare w/ garden kimchi, sesame dressing, ssamjang mayo, crispy taro
  • duck liver pâté w/ concord grape, almond crumble, toasted brioche
  • chicken fried oyster mushrooms w/ yuzu gastrique, kosho mayo, furikake
  • crispy polenta fries w/ truffle aioli, parmigiano, chives
  • Brigid’s brie brûlée w/ Ontario plum compôte, lavender, brioche crostini
  • bottle of 2018 16 Mile Cellars “Civility” Chardonnay
• Mains
  • I had the duo of Muscovy duck w/ cranberry jus, Cookstown sunchokes, pistachio dukkah
  • Others had Station burgers, pumpkin mac & cheese, and organic chicken
  • bottle of 2021 Ponce “La Casilla” Bobal
• Dessert
  • Absolutely not

Maybe a bit much for a Monday night, but we didn’t mind. It was fun and delicious.
