Fall menu tasting at Burdock & Co. restaurant on Main Street in Mount Pleasant on Main Street on November 25, 2013.
A few of us were invited to a private tasting of Burdock's cozy and comforting fall menu. Immediately, the grilled beef brisket ramen (with poached egg and candied bacon, above) caught my eye and it proved a fairly satisfying and flavourfully comforting dish. Also, the roasted squash and barley miso ramen (vegetarian) was intriguing despite some blandness. To drink, I recommend the burdock boilermaker (with whiskey, saison, and ginger beer) for its refreshing nature.
I found the Marina di Chioggia squash dumplings (vegetarian) quite scrumptious for snacking on.
The heritage pork and burdock sausage (with dandelion and potato salad) was solid in its simplicity and flavour.
The nicely constructed poached egg on toast with sun root humous, wild mushroom, and baby cabbage sauté (vegetarian) was refreshing and tasty.
Definitely a standout, the slow roasted bison ribs (with spicy tomato glaze and charred green onions) was moist, tasty, and perfectly cooked. For dessert, the pear and frangipane tart was understated and delightful. As for the salted caramel apple crisp, it was delicious in its hot apple without being too sweet. However, my highlight was the devilishly delicious chocolate pots de crème (not pictured) full of dark sweetness.
I definitely enjoyed all the interesting dishes and options made of locally sourced ingredients. Clearly the neighbourhood agreed as the eatery was packed on a Monday night.
