About
Seasonal Ingredients
Executive Chef Lorenzo Loseto is one of Canada’s premier chefs. Loseto’s innovative “Toronto Cuisine” is devoted to making everything from scratch with the freshest seasonal ingredients obtained locally when possible. His modern approach to cooking, combined with his classic training, has allowed him to create a delightful and inspiring food experience building on Canadian products and Toronto’s broad émigré traditions. Chef Loseto places an emphasis on seasonal, natural and sustainable food. He has created an a la carte tasting menu where guests are encouraged to order many courses to fully explore the bold flavours and textures of his cooking. George is setting a new standard for Toronto’s top restaurants. As Chef Loseto puts it “My food is a direct reflection of my personality. It’s the way I prefer to communicate. I get inspired by the environment around me and I use the best seasonal ingredients available. If something is out of season, I like to wait for it to return and focus on what is coming into season”.
A Glass in Hand
Our range of wines available by the glass is carefully selected by our General Manager JP Potters and his team of Qualified Sommeliers to accompany Chef Lorenzo’s menu, allowing us to pair wines with every dish and with every occasion.
Offering a wide selection of wines, George focuses on an eclectic mix of wines that complement Chef Lorenzo’s dishes. We favour small terroir-driven wines with good acidity & minerality, borne of traditional and sustainable production methods with limited production – preferring local, organic & biodynamic production wherever possible.
Discover new wines from our constantly evolving selection of over 450 different wines from around the world – from Patagonia to Paso Robles and from Burgundy to Beamsville – we cover the full spectrum of tastes and styles.
Our cocktail list also changes with the season, with no compromise – using only fresh squeezed juices & the finest alcohols – always made to order and mixed to perfection.
