Susur!

[trini]

Tasters menu is all he actually has, he does not have a menu like regular restaurants,you can just pop in and check it out yourself to see what i mean,you won't see what is being served,you need to ask.
He is straight to the point.
Bar is very small,no coctails etc........wines but thats how he makes money.
I had the 7 course.
My companion requested raw food when she booked a week ago..........

Like i said it's an at least try once place and if it's not for you next door might be up your alley.........i think he knew i was an iron Chef before i told him,i could tell he went all out.
He is quite verse in microbiotic and such and worked with alot of Trinidadians and West Indians among other credis which he has.......He knows we jam Soca and Reggae in the Kitchens too.

Thnak you Jlunar i miss you on these boards but i don't blame you for hybernating.

Last time we went there was a 5 and 7 course tasting menu, as well he did have an a la carte menu...

[bmwguy]

I went shortly after its opening... it was really good, but nothing over the top.

[JLunar]

Hehhee.. I'm here, but I'm super busy at work. But I'm trying to post again...

As far as I recall, Susur's has an a la carte as well.

[trini]

A la Carte yes i missed it as my friend who accompanied me had a raw food 7 course specially prepared for her hence the reason i decided to go with the 7 course tasters but it's still great anyway and he insisted i tried the tasters menu.
Thanks all i'm back from Cancun!

The restaurant is always booked especially some people tend to go almost every day they can afford it.
To me he was an exceptionally nice guy.
Both restaurant kitchens are joined and there are about 25 people so who who i saw working behind there and thats not including the servers just kitchen staff.
It really does not get any better than this however his partners decorating has to get a medal for the absolute worst decor in both restaurants.

[JLunar]

what!? You don't like the Colonel?

[trini]

he's ok but someone i dont want to get them fired said to me that if you think thats bad sometimes miss piggy is up there.

[JLunar]

I've also seen strangely creepy stuffed animals up there too. In shadowboxes, I think. creeeeepy.

Is Susur Lee that chinese guy with the ponytail? I always wanted to try his stuff. Do you actually get full from the taster's menu and do you have to dress up for his restaurants?

[trini]

He has the art locked down very well.
chances are you will be full by the 5th rouund.
You must have a seriously large gut to go all the way and not be full.
No you don't really have to dress up but it might help if you dont dress like a ghetto ganster,now i'm not implying that you do.

[drunkendan]

Thanks Trini.
Yea, just don't want to look out of place when eating at these type of restaurants, thats all. I'll check it out sometime, And yes his culinary art skills are elite even though I've only seen them in tv heh

Just got back from Susur. That was the best meal I have ever had in Toronto. The concept to me of having a taster menu where you don't know what you're going to get is outstanding. That's the way I like to eat. It was expensive, but you know the guy spent 14 days sourcing each of the ingredients on your plate. He was very nice, greeted my party and me.

We also took advantage of the tour and enjoyed it. I'm a nerd like that, so it may not appeal to everyone.

My only negative comment would be that the bench seats are really uncomfortable.

I was at Susur a little while back with my girl, and I remember that for the both of us it was close to 300$ including drinks. The food there is good quality and tasty, but the portions are ridiculously small. After we finished eating there we had to go for a midnight snack later on in the night. The style is what is called modern trendy meaning it's not supposed to fill you up, but it's more of a "fashion" statement to go there. You do have to reserve from what I know even if it isn't packed, and there is no menu you pretty much just get whichever courses they're featuring.

... i was an iron Chef ...

This statement jumped out at me. Can you expand on it?
