Sautéed shrimp, salt cod brandade

Actinolite

$$, Outdoor Seating, Reservations, Modern, Restaurant, Christie Pits

"The brandade de morue is topped with roasted peppers and fat shrimp, then paired with a basil, black olive, and red pepper sauce. The strong tastes balance perfectly, taking this simple cod and potato dish to a new level. Because the menu changes often, the dish may not be available, so call ahead to see if it's on the menu that night."
