Much thanks to Toronto Life for including us in the article: 14 of Toronto’s Best Canadian Restaurants,

We’re thrilled to be included amongst a list of fantastic Toronto restaurants and love seeing how each of them interpret Canadian cuisine.

We’re happy to announce that we’re participating in the 2017 Summerlicious program – July 7 – July 23 with a three course menu for $38.

We know that some diners complain that Summerlicious menus aren’t the same as what a restaurant offers regularly so we’ve composed options from our most popular menu items.

Appetizer
Tempura pickled ramps, beetchi mayo (vegetarian/local)
Pickled arctic char, watermelon remoulade, crispy leeks
Nduja toast, smoked goat yogurt, burnt honey (local)

Main
Maple glazed pork belly, sautéed field greens (local)
Pan roasted mushrooms, truffle potatoes, deer lichen (vegetarian/local)
House made pappardelle, herb cream, frico (vegetarian/local)

Dessert

Much thanks to Raymond from Travelling Foodie for including us in his list of favourite restaurants in 2016, you can find the full list here.

Chef Dave Mottershall spent 7 years cooking on Prince Edward Island. He went with one purpose, to learn more about seafood and there’s no better place than PEI. It was there he developed a real passion for cooking, whole animal butchery and zero waste.

He’s been making this PEI mussel chowder recipe for years. The key is in the ingredients – so don’t skimp on seafood. We’re proud to work with Hooked and Honest Weight for sustainable Canadian seafood.

Curing meat is one of our passions and we love serving it at Loka. But you can also enjoy it from the comfort of home.

Now Toronto featured us in their recent article Holiday Food & Drink: Minimum effort, maximum party as we offer salumi plates to go.

You can choose what you’d like or leave it to Chef’s Choice. We’ll prepare it on butcher paper and vacuum seal it with labels so all you need to do is cut it open and slide it onto a serving platter.

We’re happy to announce that we’re participating in the 2017 Winterlicious program – January 27 – February 9 with a three course menu for $38.
