| Many Canadian bistros differentiate themselves from their European counterparts by serving regionspecific dishes and replacing waiters with Alanis Morissette. Enjoy artisan cuisine without irony with today\'s Groupon: for $30, you get $60 worth of finedining cuisine at Lucien, open for dinner seven nights a week. Experienced restaurateur Simon Bower crafted Lucien\'s ambience, decor, and menu to exude elegance and promote a complete finedining experience, garnering the eatery the title of the city\'s best new restaurant from Toronto Life magazine and a place among enRoute magazine\'s top 10 restaurants in Canada. A menu starring allnatural ingredients includes appetizers such as the red deer tartare ($14) and the albacore tuna crudo ($17). Lucien\'s artful mains include British Columbia scallops with navy beans and ham ($29) as well as a Paradise Farms Black Angus rib eye and bone marrow with hen of the woods mushrooms ($36). Diners may complete the culinary trilogy with an artisanal cheese plate ($16) or gracefully trying to tie the cherry ice cream into a knot before nibbling on its accompanying malt cake, cured foie gras, and pickled cherries. |
