Dopamina delivers an extraordinary dining experience in Toronto! The Menu Dégustation we enjoyed on Sunday, December 29th, 2024, was nothing short of phenomenal, with each course showcasing impeccable technique and creativity. The evening began with Oyster, Caviar, and Cream, a luxurious opener that set the tone for the night. The Éclair with Foie Gras and Persimmon was a delightful blend of rich and sweet flavors, while the Beef Tartare with Smoked Bone Marrow added a satisfying depth and smokiness. The seafood courses were exquisite: the Hiramasa Crudo with Saffron Tosazu was vibrant and fresh, and the Squid Ink Risotto with Crab and Chorizo was a standout dish with bold flavors. The Halibut with Dashi Vin Blanc and Ikura struck the perfect balance between delicate and savory. For the meat course, the Aged Duck with Beet and Pepper was perfectly cooked and full of robust flavors. The pre-desserts and desserts were equally impressive: the Yogurt with Pomelo and Cardamom was refreshing, while the Pain Perdu with Buckwheat Almond was a satisfying finale. The Petit Fours added a delightful sweet touch to conclude this culinary journey. The menu felt like a symphony of flavors, textures, and artistry. Combined with attentive service and a warm ambiance, Dopamina is undoubtedly one of Toronto’s top fine-dining destinations. Highly recommend it for any special occasion or for anyone who truly appreciates elevated gastronomy!
