Yonge Street, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
North 44 offers both French and international cuisine. It's trendy but comfortable with an international culinary staff. The menu is a great blend of classical and new French cuisine, with Spanish, Portuguese and Italian accents. North 44 is pricey, but the food, service, wine selection and modern atmosphere are worth the expense. This is the perfect place to visit for a special occasion or a meal you will remember. |

Named after
the city's latitude, North 44 is known to Toronto and International diners
alike for its unique dining experience and elegant surroundings. Recently
renovated by the design team of Yabu Pushelburg, the restaurant possesses
a sophisticated, yet relaxed atmosphere with a contemporary decor. A destination
for celebrities and out-of-town visitors, North 44 is a gourmet experience
perfect for business professionals, social and romantic dinners. McEwan's distinctive style of cooking captures the essence of Italian cuisine with nuances of Asian flavors. Using only the finest locally grown fruits and vegetables, fish, poultry, and meats, he enhances the natural flavors with simple seasoning and sauces, and artfully sculpted presentations Modesty and hard work is the credo for the 1990s. For Mark McEwan, it has been a lifelong habit. In his view, the glitz and glamour of the 1980s is gone. For McEwan, style and elegance are subtle, tasteful, lasting; a philosophy that infuses every aspect of North 44. As envisioned
by Mark, the main dining room of his restaurant is light, airy and intimate.
There is a private dining room adjacent to the main room, and upstairs,
a less formal dining room with piano in the background. At the ultra-stylish
North 44, where culinary star Mark McEwan practices his genius, dinner
is an event to be celebrated and remembered. McEwan combines exotic ingredients
with flavorful herbs and spices, rather than relying on heavy sauces.
His pappardelle with sage-braised rabbit rests in its natural juices and
baby spinach with just a whisper of cream
Voted the Survey's
Most Popular restaurant in the T.O. section, this "elegant"
Midtowner "continues to maintain a great reputation," and "deservedly
so" assert enthusiasts of chef Mark McEwan's "very creative,"
"world-class" New Continental cuisine; from the "beautiful
food presentation" to the "delectable room" to the "smooth-as-silk
service," the experience here is "love at first bite,"
making this "stunning place" "number one for the money"
(but you'd better have lots of it). |
