Wonderful team working here, they really make the experience. The rosemary oil Gibson is absolutely delicious. The burger was yummy, tho a little small for the dollar amount. Chill, vibrant, nice food and wonderful front of house.
Great meal courtesy of our friends at Tasting Collective. Beautiful, elegant airy space. Set menu was generous and varied. One dish not to miss was the spiced duck breast with escarole, sweet potato, oaxacan mole, peanut-almond dukkai & sesame. Also of note were the smoky octopus and chorizo and the vanilla pana cotta with raspberries and passionfruit sauce. Fantastic unfussy service. And a nod to their choice of Threes Brewing The Long Game Pale Ale. Great beer from a great local brewery.
We visited Meadowsweet on a snowy Sunday for brunch and were immediately impressed by the warm and polished experience from the moment we walked in. The restaurant was fairly quiet because of the weather and our group of four was seated right away. Water was brought to the table immediately and the front of house staff seemed completely in sync. The service felt smooth and professional without ever being stiff. None of us ordered cocktails and instead stuck with coffee which everyone at the table kept praising. It was rich, balanced, and exactly what you want on a cold morning. To start we ordered the donuts and the empanadas. The donuts were fun and reminded me of sugar coated munchkins. They were good but not particularly memorable. The empanadas on the other hand were excellent in terms of flavor. The filling was well seasoned and satisfying. The only critique is their size. At nineteen dollars for three empanadas we all felt they could be a bit larger to really showcase the filling. For my main dish I ordered the duck pastrami hash with sunny side eggs and it was phenomenal. The dish had great depth of flavor and the eggs were cooked perfectly. In hindsight I should have ordered the sourdough bread with the hash instead of as a starter. The bread would have been perfect for soaking up everything on the plate. My girlfriend originally ordered the bacon omelette but was accidentally served the mushroom spinach omelette. Luckily the mistake worked in our favor because it ended up being one of the best dishes on the table. The eggs were incredibly fluffy and cooked perfectly. The mushrooms absorbed a ton of flavor and created a savory richness that balanced beautifully with the spinach. Nothing felt overpowering and every bite was well composed. I tried a bite myself and was equally impressed. Another friend ordered the burger and really enjoyed it. It was simple, satisfying, and executed exactly how a good brunch burger should be. Overall the experience was excellent. The atmosphere was comfortable, the service was attentive, and the food showed strong technique and balance across the board. If brunch is this good I can only imagine how strong their dinner service must be. Considering the price point, the quality of the food, and the level of hospitality, Meadowsweet easily earns five out of five stars. I would happily come back for brunch again.
My wife (has celiac / gluten allergy) and I came here for my birthday, and it was an excellent experience. The servers here are kind, and knowledgeable/attentive about gluten cross contamination. And the food was fresh and very well cooked. The chicken roulade was juicy and the burger slapped. Definitely looking to come back again!
Came during restaurant week for brunch. It was $45 pp and well worth it. Firstly, every single dish was perfection. Had the muffin to start and it was warm and fluffy on the inside yet crisp on the outside. Same for the empanadas - crispy but the filling was soft and delicious. Probably one of the best omelettes, it was evenly cooked and the fillings (spinach and mushroom) were also seasoned and cooked to perfection. Not a bad bite throughout. Finished with sorbets and it was the most flavourful sorbets, especially the lemon and raspberry. I was surprised how jam packed the flavour was. Only downside was we order coffees and those took a really long time to come to the table. This place used to have Michelin stars but now it feels more like a neighborhood spot. Little pricey for a casual meal but great for a first date, or to make someone’s day.
