Pan Seared Foie Gras in the GTA

[sabesh]

I want to take my mife out for her B'day. She loves pan seared Foie Gras. I'm looking for a restaurant that makes a GOOD, DECENT-SIZED pan seared Foie Gras dish (not an itsy-bitsy piece). Can someone please recommend such a place? Thanks much.

Celestin has good foie? I am SO excited! I'm going there on Saturday!

very good...call ahead however. I have been there once on a Sat night for second seating and they were out! Call and tell them you want some and if the chef can do something different with any side-sauce for it...allows for a bit of creativity.

Had the foie at Celestin - it was very good - not pan seared in this case - torchon as well as a mousse.... very nice though and worth it!

In his television appearances, I have heard Mark McEwan comment that he hates restaurants being skimpy with their portions of foie on several occasions. I've never been to one of his restaurants (not in my budget) -- but, maybe someone could comment on whether he lives up to his words.

I have had foie at Bymark many times.

It's not a huge portion, but it's a bit more foie than is entirely edible as part of a heavy meal. Plus it comes with a heavy fruit sauce that is so good it makes your eyes roll back in your head.

does anyone else find it it's easier to eat more foie in NA than in Europe because the Quebec/Hudson foe is fluffier than the France foie?

Amazing view on top of it all.

How about Harbour 60? I haven't been but their foie gras app is $39 and the picture on their site leads me to believe it is a massive portion. Would be interested to hear if it is worth the price.

Aside from there I've tried the foie at a bunch of places in the city and generally the serving size is pretty small. Nothing like Au Pied de Cochon in Montreal... but that is a whole other discussion. The most memorable recent foie dish I had was at Auberge de Pommier a few months ago, again not a huge portion but it was outstanding as was the rest of the meal.

I enjoyed the seared foie gras at Auberge du Pommier as well, however, that was the ONLY memorable dish of the night, everything else was over-salted.

I've heard some good reviews of "Herbs" on Yonge. G'luck

Foie Gras portion was HUGE when Chef Antony Nuth was there. Now that he has left, situation is unclear!
