Amuse Bouche
Amuse Bouche is a new intimate dining series that connects people over food and drink with the aim of alleviating loneliness, building community, and supporting restaurants and the hospitality industry in Toronto.
For guests, it’s a great way to meet new people while simultaneously experiencing an establishment in a new way.
For restaurants, bars, and cafés, it’s an opportunity to flex some service flair, potentially test out new dishes and drinks, bring back old favourites, or otherwise do something different - ultimately creating memorable moments that encourage return visits.
Experiences are curated by Nelson Tam, an industry professional with over a decade in different facets of food and hospitality in Toronto. In the past he has hosted events such as Fried Chicken Fridays and First Bite.
In some cases, events will invovle set, family-style menus, allowing guests to try several different bites. In others, tickets will include admission and perhaps a taste of something to allow for more freedom and accessiblity. Tickets are only sold in advance and include tax and gratuity out of respect for the venues. For curated dinners, drinks are separate unless otherwise noted.
We have previously bouched at establishments like Ricky + Olivia, Island Oysters, Food and Liquor, and Barque Smokehouse.
