Just last December, I wrote about our food experience at
Elle m'a dit, the Alsatian restaurant on Baldwin Street in Toronto. The place received rave reviews in the newspapers and on food sites. So it was with consternation that I received the news of its closure from my friends (who shared dinner with us that evening). They found out the hard way - thinking of dropping by for dinner when they were in the neighbourhood and found the place closed!
I still have fond memories of their hot casseroles on a cold December night but more particularly, the very delicious and unique tarte flambée. I couldn't just let this go without finding out more. There were indeed writeups in
The Grid and
Toronto Life - closing due to a family issue and hoping to reopen at another location in a year. Well, I hope they do. Bonne chance!
