SEASONAL SUPPER – RUBY WATCHCO 730 QUEEN ST E

This Leslieville favourite has been creating amazing, seasonal menus since 2010. This restaurant, helmed by celebrity chef Lynn Crawford is a shining star in the neighbourhood and their fall-inspired dinner menu is hard to beat. While the items on the fixed menu might change through the fall you will get to enjoy items like a chicken liver parfait with gingered orange cranberry jam and grilled flatbread as an appetizer, crispy pork dan dan noodles, mustard greens and spicy peanuts for your main, and a perfect for fall roasted apple and cranberry crisp with vanilla whipped cream for dessert. If that menu doesn’t have your mouth watering I don’t know what will.
