The term Mediterranean derives from the Latin word mediterraneus, meaning “amid the earth” or “between land”. Pulling from this ancient wellspring of culture, Michael Dal Maso, a 10+ year veteran of some of Toronto’s best fine-dining kitchens, returns to The Depanneur with an elegant tasting menu inspired by the flavours of the Mediterranean and Middle East, given a modern and personal interpretation.
Before the main course there will be a short acoustic musical performance by Kali-ann Butala. Kali-ann originally hails from the North West Territories and will be performing a short set of beautiful, bittersweet melodies written during her travels across Canada.
