Fid

We had dinner at Fid. At first we couldn’t find the front door. There’s a sign that says Courtyard and points to a side door, but not the name of the restaurant. Once you go in that side door, there are entrances to a number of stores and restaurants. One of them is Fid.Apparently, a fid is a nautical instrument to splice rope. The restaurant is not large. The decor is minimal, modern, but has a warm feel. The atmosphere is intimate.The restaurant describes itself as French Asian. The chef owner likes to mix different textures and flavours using fresh local ingredients. We had a mushroom tart, chicken breast with potato gnocchi, fois gras, beef tenderloin, fish cakes and seared salmon. Desserts were pudding, ice-cream and a crème brulée that was one of the best I have ever tasted. Presentation was beautiful and each dish had a slight twist combining different spices with familiar food. The food was very good.The service was very discreet but efficient and knowledgeable. The maitre d', Monica, has a beautiful French accent which adds to the charm of the place.Dinner is served Tuesday to Sunday and lunch, Wednesday to Friday. Check their website www.fidcuisine.ca to see their current menus.We had a wonderful meal at Fid and would eat there again, particularly if we were looking for a romantic evening in a charming spot.
