5.0

Had the pleasure of dining at Limbo during its very first week-there was a palpable sense of nervous energy & excitement.

1) We started with the beef tartare, topped with trout roe, surrounded by a ring of gelée. We also ordered the house-made sourdough bread & beurre composé: perfectly chewy & flavourful.

2) This was followed by a reinterpretation of poireaux vinaigrette, with leeks layered over perfectly cooked trout confit.

3) Next came the off-menu special: house-cured ham topped with mustard greens, peppery & perfectly dressed just enough to balance the richness of the pork.

3) Then a clean, elegant plate of halibut served with seasonal white asparagus & a light, buttery sauce.

4) For dessert, a showstopper: a meringue'floating island' in a pool of tonka bean-infused crème anglaise, topped with fragrant poached rhubarb.

Overall, 10/10 for a first week, & we are excited to go back.
