Unpretentious French-bistro vibes meets farm-fresh flavours. Working closely with local producers (or as we call them – our friends), we select meats, cheeses and produce from Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec.
Prepared with classical techniques and a sprinkle of playful magic, each bite carries the local terroir straight to your palate. Join us for casual indulgence. Pull up a chair, put your elbows on the table, and be yourself: a little naughtiness is always on the menu at Absinthe.

Our menu evolves with the seasons, changing week by week, showcasing the finest local ingredients and our chef’s inspired creativity.
