    We are proud to introduce Green—our newest tasting menu. This menu is a celebration of renewal, capturing the energy of Spring as it awakens with new life. A menu inspired by the season’s vibrancy through a singular lens: the colour that defines life itself. Ingredients at their peak—fresh from the soil, the forest, and the ocean—bring bright, fresh to the table. Each dish reflects this moment of growth and abundance, shaping a menu that feels vibrant, alive, and deeply connected to its origins. As you move through the menu, you’ll experience a progression of flavors that highlight the ingredients we love most this time of year. Each course is a reflection of how these elements come together—connected by the landscapes they come from and the season that brings them to life.

    A very special dining experience. A bit uncontrolled noise level is an obstacle to a complete satisfactory dining experience.

    We had a good dinner at Published. All the dishes were very tasty and creative except the sirloin steak. I think it was $75 for, at best, 4 ounces of sirloin steak. We found the steak to be very tough. I could barely cut through it with my steak knife. I was expecting the steak would be tender, melt in your mouth and be memorable. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case. I'd recommend that the restaurant forego some profit margin and buy a better cut of meat so that the customer experience exceeds their expectation instead of leaving them feeling they could have "done better at home with a good steak from costco". Also, I've experienced and appreciated from other fine restaurants when the customers are escorted at the door and assisted with their jackets. It's a nice touch and I don't think too much to expect after spending $800 for a meal. This opinion was shared with ourselves and our 2 dinner guests.

    First time for tasting menu experience. Out of 10 courses, 3 dishes were considered a bit too salty for us. The menu was beautifully crafted but the taste needs more refined. Overall, a lovely dinner.

    Your rating needs bonus stars! The entire experience was exquisite from the moment we were greeted and welcomed inside for hubby’s special birthday! Our family was treated so wonderfully and the extra touches on top of food that was almost too pretty to eat but then the flavours and textures were even better. The food and pairings were very creative and balanced and unique. We could see why they’ve won top accolades year after year. The service was top notch with a true pride of their food & restaurant from each person that interacted with us. We will definitely return.

    We had a wonderful time celebrating our wedding anniversary! The food and drinks were amazing. The service is outstanding. Only drawback was the ambience noise which made it hard to hear and understand the explanation of the dishes and drinks, perhaps they could give us a paper with some information about the dishes at the beginning of the dinner. Other than that, everything was amazing!

    Amazing food. Every dish was delicious apart from some greens which were a bit like eating grass. The forest themed dessert was my highlight. Beautiful venue. Service was good but the multitude of servers was a bit disconcerting. We were seated 15 minutes late for our 8pm booking with a very crowded entrance to wait in.
