Boehmer, located on Toronto's trendy Ossington, focuses on local and seasonal Canadian food. Chef Boehmer's creations include ever-evolving dishes such as Chantecler Rouge Roasted Chicken Fricasse and his very famous Pan Seared Quebec Foie Gras and Lobster Mac & Cheese.
Chef Paul Boehmer has a big bad hog in the back of his restaurant. No, not a pig ready for roasting (though he probably has that too). A long, lean, low-riding motorcycle.
It takes up a good portion of real estate outside the private dining room and off to the side of the kitchen. It gets featured in as many photos as the food, or the restaurant itself. It's almost famous, really.
Leave your expectations at the door and give your taste buds free reign. It’s best not to look at the menu beforehand – just show up and be surprised. Böehmer is the kind of place where you need to eat at least once in your life to say you’ve expanded your culinary appetite, with menu offerings that forge their own path. The food’s eclectic and ambitious and will leave a lasting impression.
