Sometimes its better not to concentrate too much on what youre eating and simply enjoy the food. For those who are not yet fans of the nose-to-tail culinary trend, that might be the best approach for the series of weekly Nose to Tail dinners at Cibo.
The menu includes grilled ox heart with porcini and bone marrow salsa, devilled squab livers and hearts, crispy lambs tongue and chocolate, blood and orange gelato. But please, please dont say Ick!
Executive chef Neil Taylor and his team have created a wonderful menu of delicate flavours, with each dish beautifully prepared with complementary flavours. While these dishes may be common in other countries, many Canadians have not yet developed a taste for them. Heres your chance.
Cibo has definitely honoured the sacrifice that these animals make for our culinary pleasures. The Nose To Tail Dinners are every Tuesday night in June. Cibo Trattoria is in Moda Hotel (900 Seymour.) It was voted the best new restaurant by enRoute magazine in 2009 and was also named one of the top Italian restaurants in the world by Ospitalita Italiana in 2011.
