And let’s hope this one charges the prices on the menu! The Gerrard one overcharged me on 3 different items (yes, I’m obsessive and check my Bill).
The owners of Congee Queen is opening up a new restaurant at Don Mills & Barber Greene Rd., called The Queen Seafood Cuisine. It’s in the same plaza where Pho Anh Vu recently opened. They expect to open this week, maybe as soon as tomorrow. Expect it to be a higher end restaurant than Congee Queen.
Sammarco opens May 7 - menu prices are eye watering ($78 fettuccine!)

There’s also a risotto for $78.
Fettuccine with parm and butter for 78 is quite funny. My family has eaten thousands of dollars worth of the stuff over the past year if that’s the going rate.
Italian food must have some great marketing behind it and Toronto seems to eat it all up seeing the popularity of Italian restaurants (even sub-par ones). Other cuisines have some more labour-intensive dishes but are relegated as cheap eats by a lot of diners. Personally I find it hard to justify choosing Italian nowadays when eating out seeing I can easily buy some premium ingredients and make it myself at home.
What?!? What kind of premium products included? LOL
Eh, you get a Michelin star, you get to charge what you like. Some people actually use that guide like its a bible.
