I am not a #dessert gal, but Avelo knows what's up! They have convinced me to love desserts, only if they make it lol! This was described as "Raspberry, oat and mint". The #cake had so many amazing layers in it that were so fine and thing and delicate. The topping was this amazing #raspberry gel. The #mint ice cream was so perfect and the frozen raspberries were dreamy! We ate this so slowly lol the desserts are shared here, you get one of each. The 5 course meal was $130 after tax and tip. Such knowledgeable servers.

Okay, this was one of the most #creative dishes I have ever had! It was a stuffed #morel mushroom in the style of a stuffed #jalapeño popper!!! You read that correctly!! It was stuffed with Koji rice and then breaded and fried. It was on a bed of spicy green sauce and a saffron yellow sauce. I dipped the morel in the #sauce and the textures and flavours were so reminiscent of a jalapeño popper! It was #surreal! How #brilliant! The 5 course meal was $130 after tax and tip.

This was suuuuchhh a cool #presentation! The #soup was at the bottom and you are supposed to dump the top dish into the bottom. So fun! The #miso was made from a flageolet bean instead of a soy bean, which was exiting. The dish was very seaweed-forward. The entire 5 course meal was $150 after tax and tip. Very knowledgeable servers and such a fun experience.

I went back to Avelo!! Lol! Just 3 months later ahah I definitely would #recommend you going just once a year, as the #menu was extremely similar to the one I had in February and it is just so gosh darn expensive. This 5-course meal was $130 after tax and tip which is WILD! It is worth it for a special occasion once a year. Also, much cheaper on Wed or Thurs. And we went on a Saturday. This first course was probably my favourite! It was described as "Sourdough coca, cashew blue cheese and wild mustard". It was SO good! I loved how chewy the #dough was and the #cashew cheese had a nice tang to it. The green paste was a #unique taste that I loved. I went with my friend who is #glutenfree and they could accommodate her on every dish which was great.

This was soooo good! The top used Aquafiba and Tonka beans. It was so fluffy and such a fun texture. So light. I loved the almond cookie on the bottom. This was the best dessert. It felt so fancy. I would eat this weekly if I could. Not too sweet either. Just a work of art! My bestie and I went to Avelo together and it was the greatest dining experience I have ever had, ever. They only do 5 tables per time slot. There is the 5-course time and the 8-course time. We chose the 5-course and I couldn't dream if eating the 8-course one. I was #SOFULL. LOL! The ambiance was out of this world - just look at the photos! Our waiter had only 2 tables and he basically walked us through each bite. He was so attentive. He was the owner. So sooooo kind and cool. They had been reviewed by the Michelin star people, but sadly (and wrongly) did not get a star. But people: this is Michelin-star food! All of this for only $90 after tax and tip! It was insane! My friend and I decided that we will be going once a year at least! #sustainable #fairwages #farmtotable #locallysourced

I am not much of a hazelnut or Nutella gal (sorry!) LOL I wasn't looking forward to this one, but it was UNREAL! It was all hazelnut! Like the outside was hazelnut, the cake inside, the liquid chocolate inside, everything was perfectly hazelnut and I loved it! The gold on top was fun too. So much food.

Just LOOK at this presentation! Pardon me?! It was a pistachio mousse in a chocolate coating with Carmel on the outside. I don't typically like pistachios, but this lollipop made me a #believer. It was so fun to bite into and eat on a stick. Just blown away with this restaurant. My bestie and I went to Avelo together and it was the greatest dining experience I have ever had, ever.

#locallysourcedoved the red sauce under the kofta. It was yummy and at this point I was getting sooooo full, so I was appreciative this portion was smaller LOL!!

This dish was purple cabbage with a house made shoyu. They marinated the purple cabbage for like 60 days in their homemade soy sayce and then created this cabbage paste on top to get more cabbage flavour back into it lol. It was so interesting. Soft yet firm. Fun to do the bite on a stick. My bestie and I went to Avelo together and it was the greatest dining experience I have ever had, ever. They only do 5 tables per time slot.

This was tied for our favourite dish, along with the first course. This was described as Maitake mushrooms, panisse and chanterelle garum. It was insanely amazing! The mushroom sauce was unreal. I literally used my finger to lick the plate. The crispy seed cracker was so fluffy. The marinated mushroom was just wow. And the little pattie reminded me of a polenta cake, but different. And the pea shoot leaves were also so good. When you put them all together for one bite, just wow. PERFECTION!

This was fun and unexpected. They say 5 courses, but it was technically 7 with the 2 amuses! This was a potato gazette with tonburi and horseradish. It was really cool because this caviar-looking this was a Japanese grass! Grass! Like what? It was so memorable and delightful. Like crunchy, yet soft? You could taste the layers of the potato. So creative. Hats off. My bestie and I went to Avelo together and it was the greatest dining experience I have ever had, ever. They only do 5 tables per time slot.

This dish was a house-made roasted Kabocha Squash with apple and turmeric (or at least it was described that way). The soup itself was a bit off for me. It was too sweet and tangy on its own and had a weird flavour I couldn't place. However, the components in the soup made up for it! The fried sage leaves, the 24 hour roasted tamatillo, the different Mexican root vegetables, the green apple, the shishito pepper and the green leaves..just wow. It took each bite on a magical adventure. Each bite was different. Really unique and well-thought out.
